ValueError：形状 (None, 1) 和 (None, 3) 不兼容

Question

I have a 3 dimensional dataset of audio files where X.shape is (329,20,85) . I want to have a simpl bare-bones model running, so please don't nitpick and address only the issue at hand. Here is the code:

model = tf.keras.models.Sequential()
model.add(tf.keras.layers.LSTM(32, return_sequences=True, stateful=False, input_shape = (20,85,1)))
model.add(tf.keras.layers.LSTM(20))
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(nb_classes, activation='softmax'))
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=["accuracy"])
model.summary()
print("Train...")
model.fit(X_train, y_train, batch_size=batch_size, nb_epoch=50, validation_data=(X_test, y_test))

But then I had the error mentioned in the title: ValueError: Shapes (None, 1) and (None, 3) are incompatible

Here is the model.summary()

Model: "sequential_13"

For this, I followed this post and updated Tensorflow to the latest version, but the issue persists. This post is completely unrelated and highly unreliable. This post although a bit relatable is unanswered for a while now.

Update 1.0:

I strongly think the problem has something to do with the final Dense layer where I pass nb_classes as 3, since I am classifying for 3 categories in y .

So I changed the Dense layer's nb_classes to 1, which ran the model and gives me this output, which I am positive is wrong.

Update 2.0:

I one hot encoded the y s and resolved the shape issue. But now the above output with <tensorflow.python.keras.callbacks.History at 0x7f50f1dcebe0> persists. Any help with this? Or should I post a new question for this? Thanks for all the help.

How should I proceed, or what should I be changing?

Answer 1

The first problem is with the LSTM input_shape. input_shape = (20,85,1) .

From the doc: https://keras.io/layers/recurrent/

LSTM layer expects 3D tensor with shape (batch_size, timesteps, input_dim).

model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(nb_classes, activation='softmax')) - this suggets you're doing a multi-class classification.

So, you need your y_train and y_test have to be one-hot-encoded. That means they must have dimension (number_of_samples, 3) , where 3 denotes number of classes.

You need to apply tensorflow.keras.utils.to_categorical to them.

y_train = to_categorical(y_train, 3)
y_test = to_categorical(y_test, 3)

ref: https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/utils/to_categorical

tf.keras.callbacks.History() - this callback is automatically applied to every Keras model. The History object gets returned by the fit method of models.

Answer 2

Check if the last Dense Layer(output) has same number of classes as the number of target classes in the training dataset. I made similar mistake while training the dataset and correcting it helped me.

Answer 3

Another thing to check, is whether your labels are one-hot-coded, or integers only. See this post: https://www.kaggle.com/general/197993

The error arose because 'categorical_crossentropy' works on one-hot encoded target, while 'sparse_categorical_crossentropy' works on integer target.
