Want to know the list of the inputs and outputs along with the shape of a tensorflow model checkpoint

Question

I have the model checkpoint file along with the .index and .meta files but i want to know what are the inputs and outputs for the model along with the dimensions and shape for each of them.

Answer 1

As mentioned here, the checkpoint save doesn't have strictly defined inputs and outputs (in contrast to the frozen graph). Still, you can inspect your graph with TensorBoard and identify input and output tensors:

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.summary import FileWriter

sess = tf.Session()
tf.train.import_meta_graph("your-meta-graph-file.meta")
FileWriter("__tb", sess.graph)

and inspect it with tensorboard --logdir __tb.
