How to import Transformers with Tensorflow-CodePudding

After installing Transformers using

pip install Transformers

I get version 4.25.1 , but when I try to import Transformer by

from tensorflow.keras.layers import Transformer
# or
from tensorflow.keras.layers.experimental  import Transformer

I get this error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'Transformer' from 'tensorflow.keras.layers'

I am using Tenserflow 2.10 and python 3.7.

CodePudding user response：

Since you have installed Transformers directly you would have to directly import transformers, as in

import transformers

CodePudding user response：

please try to update to TenserFlow 2.4.0 at least. Apparently your current version doesn't have the Transformer class

CodePudding user response：

The Transformer layer is a relatively new addition to TensorFlow and was introduced in TensorFlow 2.4.

To use the Transformer layer, you will need to upgrade to a newer version of TensorFlow. You can do this by running the following command:

pip install tensorflow --upgrade

Once you have installed the latest version of TensorFlow, you should be able to import the Transformer layer using the following import statement:

from tensorflow.keras.layers import Transformer

Hope this helps!
