'Tensor' object has no attribute 'lower'

Question

I am fine-tuning a MobileNet with 14 new classes. When I add new layers by:

x=mobile.layers[-6].output
x=Flatten(x)
predictions = Dense(14, activation='softmax')(x)
model = Model(inputs=mobile.input, outputs=predictions)

I get the error:

'Tensor' object has no attribute 'lower'

Also using:

model.compile(Adam(lr=.0001), loss='categorical_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])
model.fit_generator(train_batches, steps_per_epoch=18,
                validation_data=valid_batches, validation_steps=3, epochs=60, verbose=2)

I get the error:

Error when checking target: expected dense_1 to have 4 dimensions, but got array with shape (10, 14)

What does lower mean? I saw other fine-tuning scripts and there were no other arguments other than the name of the model which is x in this case.

Answer 1

The tensor must be passed to the layer when you are calling it, and not as an argument. Therefore it must be like this:

x = Flatten()(x)  # first the layer is constructed and then it is called on x

To make it more clear, it is equivalent to this:

flatten_layer = Flatten()  # instantiate the layer
x = flatten_layer(x)       # call it on the given tensor
