Errors when trying to load a VariationalBNN

[francescofolino]

Hi all, I'm new to TyXe, but I'm experimenting an issue when I'm trying to load a (previously) trained model from the disk.

To be more precise, the returned error is as in the following:

_raise RuntimeError('Error(s) in loading state_dict for {}:\n\t{}'.format( RuntimeError: Error(s) in loading state_dict for VariationalBNN: Unexpected key(s) in state_dict: net_guide.rnn.weight_ih_l0.locunconstrained etc.

In particular, to save the model, I use a code like this:

pyro.get_param_store().save(os.path.join(output_dir, "param_store.pt")) torch.save(model.state_dict(), os.path.join(output_dir, "best_mode.pt"))

To load the model (defined as tyxe.VariationalBNN(net, prior, likelihood, guide)) instead:

pyro.clear_param_store() model.load_state_dict(torch.load(os.path.join(save_model_path, "best_model.pt"))) pyro.get_param_store().load(os.path.join(save_model_path, "param_store.pt"))

Where is the error?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Apologies for the slow response! I think this is just due to the variational parameter attributes being initialized lazily by Pyro. If your (deterministic) network doesn't have any buffers, i.e. only parameters, you shouldn't need to save/load the state dict and the param store should contain everything you need. Otherwise, if you do need to load the state dict, just run a forward pass through your BNN by calling guide_forward with some valid input data to initialize the parameter attributes before loading.

Let me know if neither option resolves the error, in that case I'd need to take a closer look at what's going on :)

Hi,

I have encountered the same error and I might have found a solution. You need to load the state dict using the .netattribute of your model :

pyro.clear_param_store()
model.net.load_state_dict(torch.load(os.path.join(save_model_path, "best_model.pt")))
pyro.get_param_store().load(os.path.join(save_model_path, "param_store.pt"))

Hope this helps !

Thanks Camille, I will try your solution 😉

Forgot in my answer that it is necessary to save it as well as following : torch.save(model.net.state_dict(), os.path.join(output_dir, "best_mode.pt"))

Hi, I had the same issue and the solution of @Cam-B04 worked correctly, thank you.
