Tensorflow One Hot Encoding - Could not find valid device for node

Question

During my feature engingeering the following error occurred. My featurelist has 21 sublists with each 8537 values being either 0 or 1. When trying to run the One Hot Encoding via tensorflow it shows the error Could not find valid device for node Does anyone have a quick fix for the error?

for feature in featurelist[1:]:
    df = tensorflow.convert_to_tensor(feature, dtype=tensorflow.float32)
    print(df)
    df_enc = tensorflow.one_hot(df, 2, on_value=None, off_value=None, axis=None, dtype=None, name=None)
    print(df_enc)

Answer 1

You casted your target to tf.float32 , which is incompatible with tf.one_hot when using a list . You need to convert your target to an integer dtype before one-hot encoding. Try:

x = tf.cast(x, tf.int32)

Or, convert your tensor to a NumPy array:

tensor = np.array([0., 1., 2., 3.])

tf.one_hot(tensor, depth=4)

<tf.Tensor: shape=(4, 4), dtype=float32, numpy=
array([[1., 0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 1., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 1., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0., 1.]], dtype=float32)>
