Keras Error when Concatenating layers in functional mode












1















I'm attempting to concatenate two layers. According to the documentation, the following should be correct.



import tensorflow.keras as K

input = K.Input(shape=(self.state_dimensions(),))
shared_features = K.layers.Dense(10,activation='tanh')
x = K.layers.Dense(10, activation='tanh')(input)
a = shared_features(x[0:10])
b = shared_features(x[10:20])
output = K.layers.Concatenate()([a,b])
actor_model = K.Model(inputs=input, outputs=output)


However, in the last line, this error appears:



ValueError: Output tensors to a Model must be the output of a TensorFlow `Layer` (thus holding past layer metadata). Found: Tensor("concatenate/concat:0", shape=(?, 6), dtype=float32)

          Tensors a and b contain operations outside layers. All operations must be inside keras layers.



          a = K.layers.Lambda(lambda x: x[:10])(x)
          b = K.layers.Lambda(lambda x: x[10:20])(x)

          a = shared_features(a)
          b = shared_features(b)


          You will have problems as you're splitting the tensor in the batch size dimension. K.layers.Concatenate() doesn't work on the batch dimension. You will end up with a different number of samples at the end.



          You probably want x[:,0:10] and x[:,10:20]
