I am trying to train an image classification network in Keras with tensorflow-metal. The training freezes after the first 2-3 epochs if image augmentation layers are used (RandomFlip, RandomContrast, RandomBrightness) The system appears to use both GPU as well as CPU (as indicated by Activity Monitor). Also, warnings appear both in Jupyter and Terminal (see below). When the image augmentation layers are removed (i.e. we only rebuild the head and feed images from disk), CPU appears to be idle, no warnings appear, and training completes successfully. Versions: python 3.8, tensorflow-macos 2.11.0, tensorflow-metal 0.7.1 Sample code: img_augmentation = Sequential( [ layers.RandomFlip(), layers.RandomBrightness(factor=0.2), layers.RandomContrast(factor=0.2) ], name="img_augmentation", ) inputs = layers.Input(shape=(384, 384, 3)) x = img_augmentation(inputs) model = tf.keras.applications.EfficientNetV2S(include_top=False, input_tensor=x, weights='imagenet') model.trainable = False x = tf.keras.layers.GlobalAveragePooling2D(name="avg_pool")(model.output) x = tf.keras.layers.BatchNormalization()(x) top_dropout_rate = 0.2 x = tf.keras.layers.Dropout(top_dropout_rate, name="top_dropout")(x) outputs = tf.keras.layers.Dense(179, activation="softmax", name="pred")(x) newModel = Model(inputs=model.input, outputs=outputs, name="EfficientNet_DF20M_species") reduce_lr = tf.keras.callbacks.ReduceLROnPlateau(monitor='val_accuracy', factor=0.9, patience=2, verbose=1, min_lr=0.000001) optimizer = tf.keras.optimizers.legacy.SGD(learning_rate=0.01, momentum=0.9) newModel.compile(optimizer=optimizer, loss='categorical_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy']) history = newModel.fit(x=train_ds, validation_data=val_ds, epochs=30, verbose=2, callbacks=[reduce_lr]) During training with image augmentation, Jupyter prints the following warnings while training the first epoch: WARNING:tensorflow:Using a while_loop for converting Bitcast cause there is no registered converter for this op.

Any suggestions?

I have a SwiftUI app that uses Core Data and CloudKit. Using the Xcode 15 beta and iOS17 beta simulator, some of the runs cause the app to crash on startup. The console prints the following: BUG IN CLIENT OF CLOUDKIT: Not entitled to listen to push notifications. Please add the 'aps-connection-initiate' entitlement. Push notifications are added correctly and everything works on iOS16 and earlier. This crash also only occurs in about 20% runs on iOS17 beta. Any tips on how to resolve this?

I'm trying to train an image classification model in CreateML application using the DF20 dataset from https://sites.google.com/view/danish-fungi-dataset?pli=1 When I tap on Train, the application begins to extract the necessary data. This process ends after the first cca 30 000 images. The footer shows Unexpected error and (strangely) a new window opens to Create New Project. No further info about the error is provided anywhere. The training succeeds when using a smaller portion of the dataset (<20 000 images). Anything over 40 000 images results in this error. Any ideas?

Let's say I would like to build a classification model to recognise plants. Two plants may look identical but differ by region or month of growth, so I would like to build a multi-input model that accepts not only an image, but also additional metadata, such as the month and location where the photo was taken. Inputs: imageOfPlant: Image month: Double latitude: Double longitude: Double Output: speciesName: [String] // sorted by probability, like default image classification Can this be done in CreateML, or using Apple frameworks in general?
