训练 Keras 回归 model 时出错

Question

Apologies for this newbie question, I'm trying to train a regression model with Keras, but I get an error in model.fit() .

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras
from tensorflow.keras import layers
import numpy as np

inputs = keras.Input(shape=(6,5), name="digits")
x = layers.Dense(64, activation="relu", name="dense_1")(inputs)
x = layers.Dense(64, activation="relu", name="dense_2")(x)
outputs = layers.Dense(1, activation="softmax", name="predictions")(x)

model = keras.Model(inputs=inputs, outputs=outputs)

x_train = np.array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4],
                    [ 5,  6,  7,  8,  9],
                    [10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
                    [ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4],
                    [ 5,  6,  7,  8,  9],
                    [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]])

y_train = np.array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3])

model.compile(loss=keras.losses.SparseCategoricalCrossentropy())

history = model.fit(x_train,y_train)

This is the error, what does it mean and how to fix this? I'm using TensorFlow 2.7.0.

Input 0 of layer "model" is incompatible with the layer: expected shape=(None, 6, 5), found shape=(None, 5)

Answer 1

To fix the error, you need to be completely clear about the input shape and output shape of the data. Inferring from your codes, there are 3 data points where you want to map [0,1,2,3,4] to 1 , [5,6,7,8,9] to 2 and [10,11,12,13,14] to 3 .

Therefore, the input shape is (5,) and the output shape is (1,) ,ie, (5,) should be used in tf.keras.Input and y_train needs to be reshaped into (6,1) .

Moreover, as you want to do regression, an appropriate activation function of the output layer and loss function should be used. (See example below)

Finally, adjust the optimizer type, learning rate and other hyperparameters for better performance.

Demonstration:

inputs = tf.keras.Input(shape=(5,), name="digits")#input shape is (5,)
x = tf.keras.layers.Dense(64, activation="relu", name="dense_1")(inputs)
x = tf.keras.layers.Dense(64, activation="relu", name="dense_2")(x)
outputs = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1, name="predictions")(x)#use linear activation

model = tf.keras.Model(inputs, outputs)

x_train = np.array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4],
                    [ 5,  6,  7,  8,  9],
                    [10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
                    [ 0,  1,  2,  3,  4],
                    [ 5,  6,  7,  8,  9],
                    [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]])

y_train = np.array([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3])[:,None]#reshape

model.compile(optimizer=tf.keras.optimizers.SGD(learning_rate=0.001,momentum=0.99)
        ,loss=tf.keras.losses.MeanSquaredError())#use MSE

model.fit(x_train,y_train,epochs=500,verbose=0)

print(model.predict(x_train))
