Type error for merge() function in Keras for 2d convolutional layer












1















I am trying to recreate the Inception model version 4. But i want to train it on my image data set standard shape (224,224,3) ,so i am not taking in any pretrained weights.
But I am getting an error like this.



x = merge([x1, x2], mode='concat', concat_axis=channel_axis)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


Here is the code:



def inception_stem(input):
if K.image_dim_ordering() == "th":
channel_axis = 1
else:
channel_axis = -1

# Input Shape is 299 x 299 x 3 (th) or 3 x 299 x 299 (th)
x = conv_block(input, 32, 3, 3, subsample=(2, 2), border_mode='valid')
x = conv_block(x, 32, 3, 3, border_mode='valid')
x = conv_block(x, 64, 3, 3)

x1 = MaxPooling2D((3, 3), strides=(2, 2), border_mode='valid')(x)
x2 = conv_block(x, 96, 3, 3, subsample=(2, 2), border_mode='valid')
x = tf.concat([x1,x2],axis=channel_axis)
#x = merge([x1, x2], mode='concat', concat_axis=channel_axis) #here is the error occuring try find out the reason behind it

x1 = conv_block(x, 64, 1, 1)
x1 = conv_block(x1, 96, 3, 3, border_mode='valid')

x2 = conv_block(x, 64, 1, 1)
x2 = conv_block(x2, 64, 1, 7)
x2 = conv_block(x2, 64, 7, 1)
x2 = conv_block(x2, 96, 3, 3, border_mode='valid')

x = merge([x1, x2], mode='concat', concat_axis=channel_axis)

x1 = conv_block(x, 192, 3, 3, subsample=(2, 2), border_mode='valid')
x2 = MaxPooling2D((3, 3), strides=(2, 2), border_mode='valid')(x)

x = merge([x1, x2], mode='concat', concat_axis=channel_axis)
return x


I am using python 3.6,keras 2.2.2 , tensorflow-gpu 1.9.0.



I followed the GitHub for the issue, but the answers were not clear and exact.
Can anyone find the solution.

          Use the concatenate layer, that should help you



          from tensorflow.python.keras.layers import concatenate
          x = concatenate([x1, x2], axis=channel_axis)
          return x

          • i tried this but i am getting an errror like this after using the concatenate. method.'Got inputs shapes: %s' % (input_shape)) ValueError: A Concatenate layer requires inputs with matching shapes except for the concat axis. Got inputs shapes: [(None, 74, 74, 64), (None, 75, 75, 96)]

          • Yeah you need to compulsory have tensors of same dimension in all axes but for the concat axis. In your case it should either be [(None, 74, 74, 64), (None, 74, 74, 96)] or [(None, 75, 75, 64), (None, 75, 75, 96)]. I suggest you to check the shapes of previous layers

          • well in the conventional inception model v4 they are using no padding, so when i concat the two layers it will have different dimensions.So i used padding equal to same to overcome this issue.Is there a way i can concatenate layers with two different shapes without using padding.

          • You can add padding to get them to same shape, but concatenate layer would never work with different shapes in axes other than the concat axis

          • You can add padding to get them to same shape, but concatenate layer would never work with different shapes in axes other than the concat axis

          i tried this but i am getting an errror like this after using the concatenate. method.'Got inputs shapes: %s' % (input_shape)) ValueError: A Concatenate layer requires inputs with matching shapes except for the concat axis. Got inputs shapes: [(None, 74, 74, 64), (None, 75, 75, 96)]

          Yeah you need to compulsory have tensors of same dimension in all axes but for the concat axis. In your case it should either be [(None, 74, 74, 64), (None, 74, 74, 96)] or [(None, 75, 75, 64), (None, 75, 75, 96)]. I suggest you to check the shapes of previous layers
