create_chainer_model NO RESPONSE

[dovanchan]

HI:
I had downloaded the VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel in the directory.
But when I run creat_chainer_model.py,It just stop in load model without any change.
Is it a bug? what should I do for this .

Are there any console messages?
If the console is showing "load VGG16 caffemodel", the program should be loading caffe model file.
It takes several minutes, and please be patient.

[dovanchan]

I have waited about 1 hours, It still no complete the loading~I had tried many times, it still no work

Stop at here:
/chainer-neural-style$ python src/create_chainer_model.py
load VGG16 caffemodel .

[dsanno]

Can you create CaffeFunction instance?
Please confirm if CaffeFunction constructor works as follows:

(on Python interactive shell)
>>> from chainer.links.caffe import CaffeFunction
>>> ref = CaffeFunction('VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel')

If it doesn't work, I think Chainer or protobuf package may not be correctly installed or caffe model file may be corrupted.

Can you tell me where is the correct path for the VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel?
I had tried to put it in /chainer-neural-style or . /chainer-neural-style/src
But it still IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel'

[dsanno]

The correct path for VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel is "chainer-neural-style".
In more detail

1. Put VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel into chainer-neural-style directory.
2. Move to chainer-neural-style directory
3. Run Python and create CaffeFunction instance.

You can use os.path.exists to check whether the file exists or not.

I have done these, But it always stop at here
I had tried many times, it still no work

[dovanchan]

The VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel has exist in the chainer-neural-style,I have checked many times;
But It still have a error for No such file.~ Is it a bug need to be fixed?

just stop at load model~

[dsanno]

Did you check VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel exists on Python shell ?
For example, do these commands work?

>>> import os
>>> os.getcwd()
'/path/to/current/working/directory'
>>> os.path.exists('VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel')
True
>>> f = open('VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel', 'rb')
>>> f.close()

[dovanchan]

I have put the file "VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel" under '/chainer-neural-style',
But run os.path.exists('VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel') . failed....
What should I do to let the python findout this model~
