Removing layers from a pretrained keras model gives the same output as original model

During some feature extraction experiments, I noticed that the 'model.pop()' functionality is not working as expected. For a pretrained model like vgg16, after using 'model.pop()' , model.summary() shows that the layer has been removed (expected 4096 features), however on passing an image through the new model, it results in the same number of features (1000) as the original model. No matter how many layers are removed including a completely empty model, it generates the same output. Looking for your guidance on what might be the issue.

#Passing an image through the full vgg16 model
model = VGG16(weights = 'imagenet', include_top = True, input_shape = (224,224,3))
img = image.load_img( 'cat.jpg', target_size=(224,224) )
img = image.img_to_array( img )
img = np.expand_dims( img, axis=0 )
img = preprocess_input( img )
features = model.predict( img )
features = features.flatten()
print(len(features)) #Expected 1000 features corresponding to 1000 imagenet classes

1000

model.layers.pop()
img = image.load_img( 'cat.jpg', target_size=(224,224) )
img = image.img_to_array( img )
img = np.expand_dims( img, axis=0 )
img = preprocess_input( img )
features2 = model.predict( img )
features2 = features2.flatten()
print(len(features2)) #Expected 4096 features, but still getting 1000. Why?
#No matter how many layers are removed, the output is still 1000

1000

Thank you!

People also ask

Which function is used to remove the layers from sequential models?

Note that there's also a corresponding pop() method to remove layers: a Sequential model behaves very much like a list of layers. Also note that the Sequential constructor accepts a name argument, just like any layer or model in Keras.

Are keras models Pretrained?

Keras Applications are deep learning models that are made available alongside pre-trained weights. These models can be used for prediction, feature extraction, and fine-tuning. Weights are downloaded automatically when instantiating a model.

Working off @Koul answer.

I believe you don't need to use the pop method. Instead just pass the layer before the output layer as the argument for the Model method's output parameter:

from keras.models import Model

model2 = Model(model.input, model.layers[-2].output)
model2.summary()

Found the answer here : https://github.com/keras-team/keras/issues/2371#issuecomment-308604552

from keras.models import Model

model.layers.pop()
model2 = Model(model.input, model.layers[-1].output)
model2.summary()

model2 behaves correctly.
