Fixing ValueError: Converting NumPy Array to Tensor in Keras with IMDB Dataset

Working with deep learning models can sometimes lead to frustrating error messages that hinder your progress. One such message that users often encounter is the dreaded "ValueError: Failed to convert a NumPy array to a Tensor (Unsupported object type list)" when utilizing Keras/TensorFlow for binary text classification with the IMDB dataset. This error typically arises from improperly formatted input data. In this guide, we will explore this issue in detail and provide a clear solution.

Understanding the Problem

When you try to fit your model to the training data using the model.fit function in Keras, encountering the conversion error means that the data you are passing does not meet the expected input dimensions. Specifically, Keras expects the input data to be in the shape of a matrix (2D array), but it may sometimes receive a 1D array or list instead.

Common Root Causes of the Error:

Input sequences are not properly vectorized or padded.

Mismatch between the expected dimensions of the model and the shape of the input data.

Solution: Vectorizing the Input Data

To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that your input data is properly vectorized. In the case of the IMDB dataset, we will write a function to transform our sequences into a matrix format suitable for Keras.

Step 1: Load Data Correctly

You can start by loading the IMDB dataset with a specified maximum number of words. Adjusting the num_words parameter limits the vocabulary size. Here’s how:

Step 2: Vectorization Function

Next, we need a function that converts the input sequences into a binary matrix representation:

This function initializes a zero matrix and sets the indices corresponding to the words in each sequence to 1.

Step 3: Format the Data

After defining the vectorization function, you need to apply this transformation to your training and testing datasets:

Conclusion

By ensuring that your data is appropriately vectorized and formatted, you can solve the ValueError: Failed to convert a NumPy array to a Tensor issue when using Keras/TensorFlow with the IMDB dataset. With this guide, you should be well on your way to successfully running your binary text classification model. Happy coding!
