Exception with Callback in Keras - Tensorflow 2.0 - Python

Question

The following code runs a Sequential Keras model, pretty straight forward , on the MNIST data that are packaged with Keras.

In running the following piece of code I get an exception.

The code is readily reproducible.

import tensorflow as tf

class myCallback(tf.keras.callbacks.Callback):
      def on_epoch_end(self, epoch, logs={}):
        if(logs.get('acc')>0.99):
          print("\nReached 99% accuracy so cancelling training!")
          self.model.stop_training = True

mnist = tf.keras.datasets.mnist

(x_train, y_train),(x_test, y_test) = mnist.load_data()
x_train, x_test = x_train / 255.0, x_test / 255.0

callbacks = myCallback()

model = tf.keras.models.Sequential([
  tf.keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=(28, 28)),
  tf.keras.layers.Dense(512, activation=tf.nn.relu),
  tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, activation=tf.nn.softmax)
])
model.compile(optimizer='adam',
              loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
              metrics=['accuracy'])

model.fit(x_train, y_train, epochs=10, callbacks=[callbacks])

The exception is:

Epoch 1/10
59296/60000 [============================>.] - ETA: 0s - loss: 0.2005 - accuracy: 0.9400

TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'float'

Answer 1

In model.compile function you defined metrics=['accuracy']. You need to use 'accuracy' in logs.get i.e logs.get('accuracy').

Answer 2

In Jupyter notebook I had to use "acc", but in google Colab "accuracy" instead. I guess it depends on the tensorflow version installed.
