model.evaluate and model.predict conflict

[parkesb]

A strange issue when running an example from Laurence Moroney's "AI and Machine Learning for Coders...". When running the following code on an M1 MacBook Air

import tensorflow as tf

mnist = tf.keras.datasets.fashion_mnist

(training_images, training_labels) , (test_images, test_labels) = mnist.load_data()

training_images = training_images / 255.0
test_images = test_images / 255.0

model = tf.keras.Sequential([
    tf.keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=(28,28)),
    tf.keras.layers.Dense(128, activation='relu'),
    tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax')
])

model.compile(optimizer = 'adam',
    loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
    metrics=['accuracy'])

model.fit(training_images, training_labels, epochs=5)

model.evaluate(test_images, test_labels)

classifications = model.predict(test_images)
print(classifications[0])
print(test_labels[0])

I have the following output:

2021-05-04 16:55:00.006592: I tensorflow/compiler/mlir/mlir_graph_optimization_pass.cc:116] None of the MLIR optimization passes are enabled (registered 2)

whereas on a 2017 Intel MBP, I have:

Also, if I remove either the model.predict or the model.evaluate the code produces correct output and no errors.

I'm using regular python virtual envs on the MBP but Miniforge on the MacBook Air

hello, I have run into the same issue, have you got the solution?

[parkesb]

No, but I've not looked at it. It also fails if you try and switch the order (i.e. predict and then evaluate)

If I run either one of model.evaluate() or model.predict(), then it is fine.

Looks like there is code error when using both functions in sequence.

Experiencing the same problem as well (MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2020, Quad-Core Intel Core i5). The problem occurs with both CPU and GPU, using mlcompute.set_mlc_device(device_name="gpu")

It seems the culprit here is the specified activation function of the output layer. Once this parameter is removed, the code works fine. Edit: linear for output layer works fine, sigmoid doesn't
