ValueError in Tensorflow while using the subclassing API

I'm new into tensorflow and I am trying to learn how to use the subclassing API on a batch of data coming from fashion MNIST. But I keep getting the same shape error over and over again and I can't find where it's coming from. Here is my code :


import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras

import os
import sys
assert sys.version_info >= (3, 5)
import sklearn
assert sklearn.__version__ >= "0.20"

import numpy as np
import matplotlib

fashion_mnist = keras.datasets.fashion_mnist
(X_train_full, y_train_full), (X_test, y_test) = fashion_mnist.load_data()

X_valid, X_train = X_train_full[:5000] / 255., X_train_full[5000:] / 255.
y_valid, y_train = y_train_full[:5000], y_train_full[5000:]
X_test = X_test / 255.

#Note that I am not using this part of the code for now because I
#need to debug it first:

#class Block(keras.layers.Layer):
#    def __init__(self, n_layers, n_neurons, **kwargs):
#        super().__init__(**kwargs)
#        self.hidden = [keras.layers.Dense(n_neurons, #activation="relu")
#                       for _ in range(n_layers)]

#    def call(self, inputs):
#        Z = inputs
#        for layer in self.hidden:
#            Z = layer(Z)
#        return inputs + Z

class Modeling(keras.Model):
  def __init__(self, **kwargs):
      super().__init__(**kwargs)
      self.Flatten = keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=[28,28])
      self.dense1 = keras.layers.Dense(30, activation="relu")
      self.out = keras.layers.Dense(10, activation="softmax")

  def call(self, inputs):
    Z = self.dense1(self.Flatten(inputs))
#    for _ in range (1 + 3):
#      Z = self.block1(Z)
#    Z = self.block2(Z)
    return self.out(Z)

#This one shows that there is multiple output_shapes : 
model = Modeling()
model.build([28,28])
model.summary()

model.compile(optimizer="sgd", loss="sparse_categorical_crossentropy", metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=1, validation_data=(X_valid, y_valid))

The message I keep getting is, in short :

ValueError
Traceback 1 model.compile(optimizer="sgd", loss="sparse_categorical_crossentropy", metrics=['accuracy']) 2 ----> 3 model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=1, validation_data=(X_valid, y_valid))

    ValueError: Input 0 of layer "dense" is incompatible with the layer: expected axis -1 of input shape to have value 28, but received input with shape (None, 784)


Call arguments received:
  • inputs=tf.Tensor(shape=(None, 28, 28), dtype=float32)

Any help and/or explanations on these input shapes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

The error message itself tells you that your input is not in the shape as your defined model expects it. So the dense layer is expecting input data with a certain number of features but got data that differs.

I am not sure if it is important for you to use the structure you used here:

class Modeling(keras.Model):
  def __init__(self, **kwargs):
      super().__init__(**kwargs)
      self.Flatten = keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=[28,28])
      self.dense1 = keras.layers.Dense(30, activation="relu")
      self.out = keras.layers.Dense(10, activation="softmax")

  def call(self, inputs):
    Z = self.dense1(self.Flatten(inputs))
#    for _ in range (1 + 3):
#      Z = self.block1(Z)
#    Z = self.block2(Z)
    return self.out(Z)

When I replace this with the following:

model = keras.models.Sequential([
    keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=[28,28]),
    keras.layers.Dense(30, activation="relu"),
    keras.layers.Dense(10, activation="softmax")
])

It works.

Full working code:

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras

import os
import sys


import numpy as np
import matplotlib

fashion_mnist = keras.datasets.fashion_mnist
(X_train_full, y_train_full), (X_test, y_test) = fashion_mnist.load_data()

X_valid, X_train = X_train_full[:5000] / 255., X_train_full[5000:] / 255.
y_valid, y_train = y_train_full[:5000], y_train_full[5000:]
X_test = X_test / 255.

model = keras.models.Sequential([
    keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=[28,28]),
    keras.layers.Dense(30, activation="relu"),
    keras.layers.Dense(10, activation="softmax")
])

model.compile(optimizer="sgd", loss="sparse_categorical_crossentropy", metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=1, validation_data=(X_valid, y_valid))

Gives me loss: 0.8309 - acc: 0.7282 - val_loss: 0.5908 - val_acc: 0.7994
