TypeError: fit_generator() got an unexpected keyword argument 'nb_val_samples'

Viewed 7213

I am trying to make a handwriting classifier by referencing the article: https://github.com/priya-dwivedi/Deep-Learning/blob/master/handwriting_recognition/English_Writer_Identification.ipynb.
while fitting the model I get an error saying that the fir_generator does not expect any such argument! Also while the error itself is a unexpected argument error the tag shows up as type error, I wonder if something is wrong with my pipeline.
Here is the model. (I am excluding all code after the error as it shouldn't be relevant any ways. You can reffer to the code in the above link if you feel its important)

After Keras 2.0, nb_val_samples keyword coded as validation_steps. Also, I saw nb_epoch keyword in your code. It coded as epochs.

If you don't want to change your keywords, simply downgrade your Keras into below 2.0 version
