Common mistakes and best practices

writing own keras modules and layers

• tf.keras.Model cannot hold any trainable parameters. All trainable weights have to be defined in tf.keras.layers.Layers. Wrong implementation will cause weird behaviour when saving and re-loading the model weights!
• Do not define weights in the __init__ function. Weights should be only created and initialized in the def build(self, input_shape) function of the Layer. Wrong implementation will cause weird behaviour when saving and re-loading the model weights!
• The online documentation is a good orientation point to write own modules. Make use of keras Constraints and Initializers.
