Tensorflow ValueError：形状（？，1）和（？，）不兼容

Question

I'm facing this error when running my code with 3 lstm layers. Not sure how to fix it. Can anyone help. Here MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH=250. After running the cost function, i get the error 'ValueError: Shapes (?, 1) and (?,) are incompatible'

# Generate a Tensorflow Graph
tf.reset_default_graph()
batch_size = 25
embedding_size = 50
lstmUnits = 64
max_label = 2

x = tf.placeholder(tf.int32, [None, MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH])
y = tf.placeholder(tf.int32, [None])

number_of_layers=3

#  Embeddings to represent words
saved_embeddings = np.load('wordVectors.npy')
embeddings = tf.nn.embedding_lookup(saved_embeddings, x)

def lstm_cell():
  return tf.contrib.rnn.BasicLSTMCell(lstmUnits,reuse=tf.get_variable_scope().reuse)

lstmCell = tf.contrib.rnn.MultiRNNCell([lstm_cell() for _ in range(number_of_layers)])

lstmCell = tf.contrib.rnn.DropoutWrapper(cell=lstmCell, output_keep_prob=0.75)

outputs, final_state = tf.nn.dynamic_rnn(lstmCell, embeddings, dtype=tf.float32)

predictions = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(outputs[:, -1], 1, activation_fn=tf.sigmoid)

cost = tf.losses.mean_squared_error(y, predictions)

ValueError: Shapes (?, 1) and (?,) are incompatible full error message as below.

I know this question is a month-old.

I was facing this issue some days ago. It was a well-known bug even though they solved only for that specific case.

In your case, the only working solution I found is to modify:

y = tf.placeholder(tf.int32, [None])

in:

y = tf.placeholder(tf.int32, [None, 1])
