I have some doubts. I got data with some categorical and numerical features. Here the data
The libraries that I am using are:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
tf.__version__
2.3.0
After I have determined the X data and y data (last column), I encoded the categorical ones.
from sklearn.compose import ColumnTransformer
from sklearn.preprocessing import OneHotEncoder
ct= ColumnTransformer(transformers=[('encoder', OneHotEncoder(), [0,1,2])], remainder = 'passthrough')
X = np.array(ct.fit_transform(X))
I used that encoding type because the column-1 and column-2 are not numerical (these define the type of operation like 'batch' and 'continuous', or 'light' and 'dark'), the column 0 is related to specific substrates (organic compounds), some are complex(with unknown molecular weight) and the others are simple(with a molecular weight well known).
So from the result of that encoding, I got this:
As we see, each category has its own code, and the number of columns has increased. Now I have '15 columns'.
Then, I proceeded to split the data
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size = 0.2, random_state = 1)
And I normalized only the original numerical data in X_train and X_test
from sklearn.preprocessing import MinMaxScaler
scalar = MinMaxScaler()
X_train[:,11:]=scalar.fit_transform(X_train[:,11:])
X_test[:,11:]=scalar.transform(X_test[:,11:])
Finally, I wanted to construct the ANN with the input layer, hidden layers, and one output layer.
ann = tf.keras.models.Sequential()
ann.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(units=15, activation='relu'))
ann.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(units=7, activation='relu'))
ann.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(units=1))
After I have defined the structure of the ANN, I wanted to train
ann.compile(optimizer = 'adam', loss = 'mean_squared_error')
and the problem comes here
ann.fit(X_train, y_train, batch_size = 32, epochs = 100)
Here it is showing me this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, How can I solve this?
