I trained and downloaded a model(a CNN) using Keras from google colaboratory when I tried to load the model on my local machine(Mac OS X El Capitan), I received the following error. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keras/models.py", line 243, in load_model
    model = model_from_config(model_config, custom_objects=custom_objects)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keras/models.py", line 317, in model_from_config
    return layer_module.deserialize(config, custom_objects=custom_objects)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keras/layers/__init__.py", line 55, in deserialize
    printable_module_name='layer')

    list(custom_objects.items())))

    return cls.from_config(config['config'])

    return cls(**config)

    raise TypeError('Keyword argument not understood:', kwarg)
TypeError: ('Keyword argument not understood:', 'data_format')

I tried loading the model by changing the backend from Theano to TensorFlow but still got the same error.

You might be using a different version between platforms. Updating Keras to the same / latest should resolve the issue, with pip:

pip install --upgrade keras
