Keras: input with size x*x generates unwanted output y*x












0















I have the following neural network in Keras:



inp = layers.Input((3,))
#Middle layers omitted
out_prop = layers.Dense(units=3, activation='softmax')(inp)
out_value = layers.Dense(units=1, activation = 'linear')(inp)


Then I prepared a pseudo-input to test my network:



inpu = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])


When I try to predict, this happens:



In [45]:nn.network.predict(inpu)
Out[45]:
[array([[0.257513 , 0.41672954, 0.32575747],
[0.20175152, 0.4763418 , 0.32190666],
[0.15986516, 0.53449154, 0.30564335]], dtype=float32),
array([[-0.24281949],
[-0.10461146],
[ 0.11201331]], dtype=float32)]


So, as you can see above, I wanted two output: one should have been an array with size 3, the other should have been a normal value. Instead, I get a 3x3 matrix, and an array with 3 elements. What am I doing wrong?

          You are passing three input samples to the network:



          >>> inpu.shape
          (3,3) # three samples of size 3


          And you have two output layers: one of them outputs a vector of size 3 for each sample and the other outputs a vector of size one (i.e. scalar), again for each sample. As a result the output shapes would be (3, 3) and (3, 1).



          Update: If you want your network to accept an input sample of shape (3,3) and outputs vectors of size 3 and 1, and you want to only use Dense layers in your network, then you must use a Flatten layer somewhere in the model. One possible option is to use it right after the input layer:



          inp = layers.Input((3,3))  # don't forget to set the correct input shape
          x = Flatten()(inp)
          # pass x to other Dense layers


          Alternatively, you could flatten your data to have a shape of (num_samples, 9) and then pass it to your network without using a Flatten layer.



          Update 2: As @Mete correctly pointed out in the comments, make sure the input array have a shape of (num_samples, 3, 3) if each input sample has a shape of (3,3).

          inp = layers.Input((3,3))means every sample is 3x3 inpu = np.array([[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]]) (note shape is 1x3x3) means you have 1 sample of 3x3 data

          @today i am forced to follow this: "Alternatively, you could flatten your data to have a shape of (num_samples, 9) and then pass it to your network without using a Flatten layer." Because otherwise there is this error: 'Tensor' object has no attribute 'lower'
