export serving_input_fn(): ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

Question

I trained a Tensorflow Estimator Model. When I tried to export the model to saved_model.pb file I wrote the following code to serve the input function which I have to predict.

def csv_serving_input():
    feature_placeholders = {
        'renancy': tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None]),
        'freq': tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None]),
        'monetary': tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None])
    }
    features = feature_placeholders

    return tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver(features,
                                                    feature_placeholders)

and to export the model

model = "trained_model/cluster_01"
export_dir = model_dir + "/export"
estimator.export_savedmodel(export_dir, csv_serving_input)

It throws following error ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

I am posting full traceback error for the reference

Can you try this:

def serving_input_fn(): feature_placeholders = { 'var1' : tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None]), 'var2' : tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None]), ... } features = { key: tf.expand_dims(tensor, -1) for key, tensor in feature_placeholders.items() } return tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver(features, feature_placeholders)
