Description

Prerequisites

Please answer the following questions for yourself before submitting an issue.

[+ ] I am using the latest TensorFlow Model Garden release and TensorFlow 2.
[+ ] I am reporting the issue to the correct repository. (Model Garden official or research directory)
[+ ] I checked to make sure that this issue has not been filed already.

1. The entire URL of the file you are using

https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/slim

2. Describe the bug

Training image classification models using SLIM in TF2 does not work. The error depends on the installed version of TensorFlow. With TF 2.10, the training process hangs when saving the very first checkpoint.

Is SLIM is no longer supported? If so, then why is it still being kept there in TensorFlow Garden API?

3. Steps to reproduce

Follow README instructions given in https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/slim and execute train_image_classifier.py on the flowers dataset.

4. Expected behavior

It should not hang or give any errors and produce a trained model.

5. Additional context

N/A

6. System information

Python 3.8
tensorflow 2.10
