ValueError: Dimension (-1) must be in the range [0, 2)

Question

My python version is 3.5.2.

I have installed keras and tensorflow and I try some example from official.

The example link: Example title: Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) for multi-class softmax classification:

I copy the example under my python IDEL and codes are showed:

import kerasfrom keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense, Dropout, Activation
from keras.optimizers import SGD


import numpy as np
x_train = np.random.random((1000, 20))
y_train = keras.utils.to_categorical(np.random.randint(10, size=(1000, 1)), num_classes=10)
x_test = np.random.random((100, 20))
y_test = keras.utils.to_categorical(np.random.randint(10, size=(100, 1)), num_classes=10)

model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(64, activation='relu', input_dim=20))
model.add(Dropout(0.5))
model.add(Dense(64, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.5))
model.add(Dense(10, activation='softmax'))

sgd = SGD(lr=0.01, decay=1e-6, momentum=0.9, nesterov=True)
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',optimizer=sgd,metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit(x_train, y_train,epochs=20,batch_size=128)
score = model.evaluate(x_test, y_test, batch_size=128)

Something wrong messages are showed:

I try to find answer on the google...but no similar question as same as mine.

Need help... I appreciate it...

Answer 1

I save my question...

I upgrade my tensorflow version and the program can work.

I try this command to upgrade.

pip3 install --upgrade tensorflow

After I can run. the other question is that What the example accuracy is so low?

I want to appreciate everyone again.

It's very interesting despite of I spending 3 hours to solve my error question.
