How can I get the number of trainable parameters of a model in Keras?

Question

I am setting trainable=False in all my layers, implemented through the Model API, but I want to verify whether that is working. model.count_params() returns the total number of parameters, but is there any way in which I can get the total number of trainable parameters, other than looking at the last few lines of model.summary()?

Answer 1

from keras import backend as K

trainable_count = int(
    np.sum([K.count_params(p) for p in set(model.trainable_weights)]))
non_trainable_count = int(
    np.sum([K.count_params(p) for p in set(model.non_trainable_weights)]))

print('Total params: {:,}'.format(trainable_count + non_trainable_count))
print('Trainable params: {:,}'.format(trainable_count))
print('Non-trainable params: {:,}'.format(non_trainable_count))

The above snippet can be discovered in the end of layer_utils.print_summary() definition, which summary() is calling.

Edit: more recent version of Keras has a helper function count_params() for this purpose:

from keras.utils.layer_utils import count_params

trainable_count = count_params(model.trainable_weights)
non_trainable_count = count_params(model.non_trainable_weights)
