ValueError: Can not squeeze dim[1], expected a dimension of 1, got 3 for 'sparse_softmax_cross_entropy_loss

Question:

I tried to replace the training and validation data with local images. But when running the training code, it came up with the error :

ValueError: Can not squeeze dim[1], expected a dimension of 1, got 3 for ‘sparse_softmax_cross_entropy_loss/remove_squeezable_dimensions/Squeeze’ (op: ‘Squeeze’) with input shapes: [100,3].

I don’t know how to fix it up. There is no visible variable in the model definition code. The code was modified from TensorFlow tutorial. The images are jpgs.

Here is the detail Error message:

Answers:

The error here is from tf.losses.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy(labels=labels, logits=logits).

The TensorFlow documentation clearly states that “labels vector must provide a single specific index for the true class for each row of logits”. So your labels vector must include only class-indices like 0,1,2 and not their respective one-hot-encodings like [1,0,0], [0,1,0], [0,0,1].

Reproducing the error to explain further:

import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf

# Create random-array and assign as logits tensor
np.random.seed(12345)
logits = tf.convert_to_tensor(np.random.sample((4,4)))
print logits.get_shape() #[4,4]

# Create random-labels (Assuming only 4 classes)
labels = tf.convert_to_tensor(np.array([2, 2, 0, 1]))

loss_1 = tf.losses.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy(labels, logits)

sess = tf.Session()
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())

print 'Loss: {}'.format(sess.run(loss_1)) # 1.44836854

# Now giving one-hot-encodings in place of class-indices for labels
wrong_labels = tf.convert_to_tensor(np.array([[0,0,1,0], [0,0,1,0], [1,0,0,0],[0,1,0,0]]))
loss_2 = tf.losses.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy(wrong_labels, logits)

# This should give you a similar error as soon as you define it

So try giving class-indices instead of one-hot encodings in your Y_Labels vector.
Hope this clears your doubt.

I have solved this error. The labels were in onehot encoding, so it was in dimension of [,10], rather than [,1]. So I used tf.argmax().

Answered By: Tom Masker

If you used Keras’ ImageDataGenerator, you can add class_mode="sparse" to obtain the correct levels:

train_datagen = keras.preprocessing.image.ImageDataGenerator(
        rescale=1./255,
        shear_range=0.2,
        zoom_range=0.2,
        horizontal_flip=True)
train_generator = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
        'data/train',
        target_size=(150, 150),
        batch_size=32, 
        class_mode="sparse")

Alternatively, you might be able to use softmax_cross_entropy, which seems to use onehot encoding for the labels.

i write the code that change [1,0,0], [0,1,0], [0,0,1] to 0,1,2.

import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf

def change_to_right(wrong_labels):
    right_labels=[]
    for x in wrong_labels:
        for i in range(0,len(wrong_labels[0])):
            if x[i]==1:
                right_labels.append(i)
    return right_labels

wrong_labels =np.array([[0,0,1,0], [0,0,1,0], [1,0,0,0],[0,1,0,0]])
right_labels =tf.convert_to_tensor(np.array(change_to_right(wrong_labels)))
Answered By: peter zhang

Changing

loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy'

to

loss='categorical_crossentropy'

worked for me.

Answered By: Scott

In simple english, your loss function should be categorical_crossentropy if you have applied labelbinarizer (for hot encoding) to your test data. If you have not hot encoded your test data, you should use’sparse_categorical_crossentropy’.

Answered By: Adewale Adeyemo

You can change to loss=’categorical_crossentropy’ for one hot encoding or the other option as mentioned earlier is
tf.losses.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy(labels, logits),
