Resolves Issue #46 where users encountered
AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'GraphKeys'
when running unsupervised adversarial training code with TensorFlow 2.x.Root Cause: TensorFlow 2.x moved
GraphKeys
to thetf.compat.v1
namespace, but CleverHans library expects the TF 1.x API wheretf.GraphKeys
was directly accessible.Solution Highlights:
tensorflow_compatibility.py
with automatic TF version detection and API bridgingtensorflow-addons
requirement with intelligent mockingquick_eval_cifar.py
to automatically setup compatibility before CleverHans importsrequirements.txt
for TensorFlow 2.x support while maintaining 1.x backward compatibilitytest_compatibility.py
) validating all scenariosTechnical Implementation:
tf.GraphKeys = tf.compat.v1.GraphKeys
for TF 2.xValidation: All tests pass on Python 3.12 + TensorFlow 2.18.1 + CleverHans 3.1.0. The solution enables researchers to reproduce results using modern TensorFlow installations while maintaining compatibility with legacy TF 1.15 setups.
Impact: Fixes a 4-year-old compatibility issue blocking researchers from using modern TensorFlow versions with the unsupervised adversarial training implementation.
