Gaierror while importing pretrained vgg model on kaggle

initial_model = VGG19(weights='imagenet', pooling = max)

I am trying to import a pre-trained VGG model in keras on kaggle. I run through an gaierror which was unfamiliar.

Downloading data from https://github.com/fchollet/deep-learning-models/releases/download/v0.1/vgg19_weights_tf_dim_ordering_tf_kernels_notop.h5

Answer

It looks like you might not have enabled internet access in your kernel. You can do that in the panel on the right hand side. Once you add an internet connection you’ll be able to download the files.

We also actually already have the VGG-19 weights uploaded to Kaggle. If you like, you can add this existing dataset to your kernel rather than downloading it, which will probably be a little bit faster for you.

Hope that helps! :)
