A layer config is an object returned from get_config() that contains the configuration of a layer or model. The same layer or model can be reinstantiated later (without its trained weights) from this configuration using from_config(). The config does not include connectivity information, nor the class name (those are handled externally).

Usage

get_config(object)

from_config(config, custom_objects = NULL)

Arguments

object

Layer or model object

config

Object with layer or model configuration

custom_objects

list of custom objects needed to instantiate the layer, e.g., custom layers defined by new_layer_class() or similar.

Value

get_config() returns an object with the configuration, from_config() returns a re-instantiation of the object.

Note

Objects returned from get_config() are not serializable via RDS. If you want to save and restore a model across sessions, you can use save_model_config() (for model configuration only, not weights) or save_model() to save the model configuration and weights to the filesystem.
