tensorflow - Couldn't build proto file into descriptor pool

Question

I installed anaconda, created a fresh new environment and installed tensorflow via pip. Then I tried this:

import tensorflow as tf

tf.keras.applications.ResNet152V2(
    include_top=True,
    weights="imagenet",
    input_tensor=None,
    input_shape=None,
    pooling=None,
    classes=1000,
    classifier_activation="softmax",
)

And i directly got:

TypeError: Couldn't build proto file into descriptor pool!
Invalid proto descriptor for file "tensorflow/python/framework/cpp_shape_inference.proto":
  tensorflow.CppShapeInferenceResult.HandleShapeAndType.specialized_type: ".tensorflow.SpecializedType" is not defined.

What I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

The code just works fine on Google_colab

import tensorflow as tf
tf.keras.applications.resnet_v2.ResNet152V2(
    include_top=True, weights='imagenet', input_tensor=None,
    input_shape=None, pooling=None, classes=1000,
    classifier_activation='softmax'
)

Issue is with Protobuf insatallation

pip uninstall protobuf
pip install --no-binary protobuf protobuf
