Keras reports TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'int'
The input to a RNN layer would have a shape of (num_timesteps, num_features)
, i.e. each sample consists of num_timesteps
timesteps where each timestep is a vector of length num_features
. Further, the number of timesteps (i.e. num_timesteps
) could be variable or unknown (i.e. None
) but the number of features (i.e. num_features
) should be fixed and specified from the beginning. Therefore, you need to change the shape of Input layer to be consistent with the RNN layer. For example:
inputs = keras.Input(shape=(None, 3)) # variable number of timesteps each with length 3
inputs = keras.Input(shape=(4, 3)) # 4 timesteps each with length 3
inputs = keras.Input(shape=(4, None)) # this is WRONG! you can't do this. Number of features must be fixed
Then, you also need to change the shape of input data (i.e. data
) as well to be consistent with the input shape you have specified (i.e. it must have a shape of (num_samples, num_timesteps, num_features)
).
As a side note, you could define the RNN layer more simply by using the SimpleRNN
layer directly:
label = keras.layers.SimpleRNN(units=5, activation='softmax')(inputs)
