如果seq2seq模型不用于推理，那么训练它有什么意义呢？

Question

在官方的Keras seq2seq示例 (我将把它放在底部)中，他们用fit函数来训练模型，但是在解码过程中，他们甚至没有使用这个模型来测试新数据。

我正试图像这样训练一个seq2seq模型，我已经在Google上成功地训练了它，下载了.h5文件，我用load_model函数加载了这个模型，但是它似乎不起作用。

如果在培训后的任何地方没有使用model变量，那么为什么脚本需要对模型进行训练呢？在此基础上，对新数据使用脚本的过程是什么？我目前只是在使用相同的脚本，但省略了compile和fit函数，代之以load_model。

Answer 1

当然，它是在推理时间内使用该模型，但是并不是所有的模型(即model)。相反，在推理模型中使用了它的一些层：

decoder_outputs, state_h, state_c = decoder_lstm(
    decoder_inputs, initial_state=decoder_states_inputs)

decoder_outputs = decoder_dense(decoder_outputs)

decoder_lstm和decoder_dense都属于训练模型，它们的权重都经过了训练。现在，我们可以在另一个模型(即inference_model)中重用这些经过训练的层来执行推理。

更新：--如果您已经对模型进行了培训和保存，并且希望执行推理，则可以首先加载经过训练的模型，然后使用model.layers访问层并创建推理模型。实际上，Keras示例存储库中的附带的剧本正是这样做的。
