Resolving the AttributeError in Keras Functional API for LSTM Models

When working with deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow and Keras, you may encounter various errors that can be daunting, especially when it comes to structuring models. One such error that frequently puzzles developers is the AttributeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object has no attribute 'op'. This error often arises when attempting to use the Keras Functional API to build your model. In this guide, we'll break down the problem of this error and guide you step-by-step through its solution.

Understanding the Problem

In our specific scenario, we are working with a time series dataset and trying to build an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model with both inputs and outputs in specific shapes. Here are the shapes of our data:

Input shape (X): (1700, 70, 401) (examples, Timestep, Features)

Output shape (Y_1): (1700, 70, 3) (examples, Timestep, Features)

We attempted to create and train our model using the Sequential API first, which worked perfectly:

However, when we switched to the Functional API, we faced a frustrating AttributeError:

Why the Error Occurs

The crux of the error arises from improper usage of the model definition in the Functional API. In the line causing the error, we incorrectly referenced the input and output variables. As per the Functional API construct, the inputs and outputs should be the layer objects you defined earlier, rather than the numpy arrays themselves.

Solution: Fixing the Model Definition

Step 1: Correcting the Model Definition

Instead of trying to define the model using Model(inputs=X, outputs=Y_1), you should use the layers you declared earlier in the code. Here is how it should look:

Step 2: Fitting the Model

After correcting the model construction, you’re ready to fit the model with your data. Ensure you call the fit function correctly with your input and output numpy arrays:

Conclusion

With this adjustment, your model will run successfully using the Keras Functional API, eliminating the AttributeError you encountered previously. This approach effectively allows flexibility, such as building a model with multiple outputs in the future without switching back to the Sequential API.

Recap

Always ensure you're passing layer objects as inputs and outputs when using the Functional API.

Debugging model definitions can save you a lot of time and frustration.

By understanding the intricacies of Keras and Tensorflow, you can efficiently tackle such errors and build more robust machine learning models. Happy coding!
