Matplotlib 'ValueError: x 和 y 必须具有相同的第一维，但具有形状 (20,) 和 (1,)'

Question

I'm having trouble while visualizing a trained tensorflow model to compare the training loss, accuracy against the validation data with the following block of code:

acc = history.history['accuracy']
val_acc = history.history['val_accuracy']

loss = history.history['loss']
val_loss = history.history['val_loss']

epochs_range = range(EPOCHS)

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
plt.plot(epochs_range, acc, label='Training Accuracy')
plt.plot(epochs_range, val_acc, label='Validation Accuracy')
plt.legend(loc='lower right')
plt.title('Training and Validation Accuracy')

plt.subplot(1, 2, 2)
plt.plot(epochs_range, loss, label='Training Loss')
plt.plot(epochs_range, val_loss, label='Validation Loss')
plt.legend(loc='upper right')
plt.title('Training and Validation Loss')
plt.savefig('./foo.png')
plt.show()

But it's throwing the error: ValueError: x and y must have same first dimension, but have shapes (20,) and (1,)

The entire code:

Answer 1

Had the same issue. According to my repro, problem was history.history['val_accuracy'] had a single value, hence the error. To resolve it, i tired with kernel_initializer='random_normal' in Dense layer while preparing the model.

.
.
model.add(Dense(64, activation='relu', kernel_initializer='random_normal'))
.
.

The above plotting code shows these graphs with my test data.
