tf.contrib was removed in version 1.14 or 1.15. What is your tf version?

Swati_Zambre · July 20, 2021, 5:03am

I am using colab version is 2.5

@Swati_Zambre Did you try the following way of importing slim

!pip install tf_slim
import tf_slim as slim

Check this response for more details. Thanks!

Share a standalone code to reproduce your error. Thanks!

The ModuleNotFoundError: no module named ‘tensorflow.contrib’ error indicates that your TensorFlow environment is missing the tensorflow.contrib module. This issue usually arises due to one of the following reasons:

TensorFlow Version Compatibility: The tensorflow.contrib module was a part of TensorFlow in earlier versions but was removed starting from TensorFlow 2.0. If you’re using TensorFlow 2.0 or later, you won’t have access to tensorflow.contrib. The functionalities of contrib were either migrated to the core TensorFlow API, moved to separate repositories, or deprecated.
Using Code Written for TensorFlow 1.x: If you’re trying to run code written for TensorFlow 1.x on TensorFlow 2.x, you might encounter this error because of the absence of the contrib module in TensorFlow 2.x.
