ValueError: ...与图层不兼容：输入形状的预期轴 -1 的值为 20，但接收到的输入形状为 (None, 20, 637)

Question

I hit with the error message on my model; 'ValueError: Input 0 of layer sequential_5 is incompatible with the layer: expected axis -1 of input shape to have value 20 but received input with shape (None, 20, 637)'

Im not sure how to fix this. Code as below;

print(str(audio_train.shape)+''+str(y_train.shape)+''+str(audio_valid.shape))

(700, 20, 637) (700, 2) (236, 20, 637)

model=Sequential()
###first layer
model.add(Dense(100,input_shape=(20,)))
model.add(Activation('relu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.3))
###second layer
model.add(Dense(200))
model.add(Activation('relu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.3))
###third layer
model.add(Dense(100))
model.add(Activation('relu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.3))
###final layer
model.add(Dense(2))
model.add(Activation('softmax'))
model.summary()

adam = tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=0.0001)
model.compile(optimizer = adam, loss = 'categorical_crossentropy', metrics = ['accuracy'])
#fitting the model
Au_model = model.fit(audio_train, y_train, batch_size = 32, epochs = 10, validation_data = (audio_valid, y_valid), verbose=1)

Error message as below;

Appreciate your advice/suggestion.

Change

model.add(Dense(100,input_shape=(20,)))

To

model.add(Dense(100,input_shape=(20, 637)))

You can also use input_shape=(audio_train.shape[1], audio_train.shape[2]) instead if you wanted to be a bit more programmatic.
