Errors gluon save_parameters

1

I am getting the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “train_gluon.py”, line 173, in

File “/home/ubuntu/anaconda3/envs/mxnet_p27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mxnet/gluon/block.py”, line 300, in save_params

strip_prefix, param.name, strip_prefix))
ValueError: Prefix hybridsequential0_ is to be striped before saving, but Parameter resnetv10_conv0_weight does not start with hybridsequential0_. If you are using Block.save_params, This may be due to your Block shares parameters from other Blocks or you forgot to use with name_scope() during init. Consider switching to Block.collect_params.save and Block.collect_params.load instead.

But I do use name_scope with init:
with new_net.name_scope():
pretrained_features = res_net.features
new_tail = gluon.nn.HybridSequential()
new_tail.add(
gluon.nn.Dense(hyper_params.NUM_HIDDENS1, activation=hyper_params.ACTIVATION),
gluon.nn.Dropout(hyper_params.DROPOUT),
gluon.nn.Dense(hyper_params.NUM_HIDDENS2, activation=hyper_params.ACTIVATION),
gluon.nn.Dropout(hyper_params.DROPOUT),
gluon.nn.Dense(hyper_params.NUM_OUTPUTS)
)
new_tail.initialize(mx.init.Xavier(magnitude=hyper_params.MAGNITUDE))

    new_net.add(
        pretrained_features,
        new_tail
    )
new_net.hybridize()

Hi @xinwang-issaquah,

It looks like you’ll want to create the res_net model under the new_net name scope too. Currently it’s being created above the name scope and so doesn’t have the correct prefix (i.e. hybridsequential0_), which is why you’re getting this error.
