How to implement a CNN-LSTM using Keras
Question:
I am attempting to implement a CNN-LSTM that classifies mel-spectrogram images representing the speech of people with Parkinson’s Disease/Healthy Controls. I am trying to implement a pre-existing model (DenseNet-169) with an LSTM model, however I am running into the following error: ValueError: Input 0 of layer zero_padding2d is incompatible with the layer: expected ndim=4, found ndim=3. Full shape received: [None, 216, 1]. Can anyone advise where I’m going wrong?

Answers:
I believe the input_shape is (128, 216, 1)
The issue here is that you don’t have a time-axis to time distribute your CNN (DenseNet169) layer over.
In this step –
tensorflow.keras.layers.TimeDistributed(cnn, input_shape=(128,216,1)))
You are passing the 128 dimension axis as a time-axis. That means each of the CNN (DenseNet169) is left with a input shape of (216,1), which is not an image and therefore throws an error because it’s expecting 3D tensors (images) and not 2D tensors.
Your input shape needs to be a 4D tensor something like – (10, 128, 216, 1), so that the 10 becomes the time axis (for time distributing), and (128, 216, 1) becomes an image input for the CNN (DenseNet169).
A solution with ragged tensors and time-distributed layer
IIUC, your data contains n audio files, each file containing a variable number of mel-spectrogram images.
- You need to use
tf.raggedtensors to be able to work with variable tensor shapes as inputs to the model
- This requires an explicit definition of an Input layer where you set
ragged=True
- This allows you to pass each audio file as a single sample, with variable images, each of which will be time distributed.
- You will have to use
None as the time distributed axis shape while defining the model
1. Creating a dummy dataset
Let’s start with a sample dataset –
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras import layers, Model, utils, applications
#Assuming there are 5 audio files
num_audio = 5
data = []
#Create a random number of mel-spectrograms for each audio file
for i in range(num_audio):
n_images = np.random.randint(4,10)
data.append(np.random.random((n_images,128,216,1)))
print([i.shape for i in data])
[(5, 128, 216, 1),
(5, 128, 216, 1),
(9, 128, 216, 1),
(6, 128, 216, 1),
(4, 128, 216, 1)]
So, your data should be looking something like this. Here, I have a dummy dataset with 5 audio files, first one has 5 images of shape (128,216,1), while the last one has 4 images of the same shape.
2. Converting them to ragged-tensors
Next, let’s convert and store these are ragged tensors. Ragged tensors allow variable-length objects to be stored, in this case, a variable number of images. Read more about them here.
#Convert each set of images (for each audio) to tensors and then a ragged tensor
tensors = [tensorflow.convert_to_tensor(i) for i in data]
X_train = tensorflow.ragged.stack(tensors).to_tensor()
#Creating dummy y_train, one for each audio files
y_train = tensorflow.convert_to_tensor(np.random.randint(0,2,(5,2)))
3. Create a model
I am using a functional API since I find it more readable and works better with an explicit input layer, but you can use input layers in Sequential API as well. Feel free to convert it to your preference.
Notice that I am using (None,128,216,1) as input shape. This creates 5 channels (first implicit one for batches) as – (Batch, audio_files, h, w, channels)
I have a dummy LSTM layer to showcase how the architecture works, feel free to stack more layers. Also, do note, that your DenseNet169 is only returning 2 features. And therefore your TimeDistributed layers is returning (None, None, 2) shaped tensor, where first None is the number of audio files, and the second None is the number of images (time axis). Therefore, do choose your next layers accordingly as 512 LSTM cells may be too much 🙂
#Create model
inp = layers.Input((None,128,216,1), ragged=True)
cnn = tensorflow.keras.applications.DenseNet169(include_top=True,
weights=None,
input_tensor=None,
input_shape=(128,216,1), #<----- input shape for cnn is just the image
pooling=None, classes=2)
#Feel free to modify these layers!
x = layers.TimeDistributed(cnn)(inp)
x = layers.LSTM(8)(x)
out = layers.Dense(2)(x)
model = Model(inp, out)
model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy',
optimizer='adam',
metrics='accuracy')
utils.plot_model(model, show_shapes=True, show_layer_names=False)
4. Train!
The next step is simply to train. Feel free to add your own parameters.
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=2)
Epoch 1/2
WARNING:tensorflow:5 out of the last 5 calls to <function Model.make_train_function.<locals>.train_function at 0x7f8e55b4fe50> triggered tf.function retracing. Tracing is expensive and the excessive number of tracings could be due to (1) creating @tf.function repeatedly in a loop, (2) passing tensors with different shapes, (3) passing Python objects instead of tensors. For (1), please define your @tf.function outside of the loop. For (2), @tf.function has experimental_relax_shapes=True option that relaxes argument shapes that can avoid unnecessary retracing.

print([i.shape for i in data])
[(5, 128, 216, 1),
(5, 128, 216, 1),
(9, 128, 216, 1),
(6, 128, 216, 1),
(4, 128, 216, 1)]
So, your data should be looking something like this. Here, I have a dummy dataset with 5 audio files, first one has 5 images of shape (128,216,1), while the last one has 4 images of the same shape.
2. Converting them to ragged-tensors
Next, let’s convert and store these are ragged tensors. Ragged tensors allow variable-length objects to be stored, in this case, a variable number of images. Read more about them here.
#Convert each set of images (for each audio) to tensors and then a ragged tensor
tensors = [tensorflow.convert_to_tensor(i) for i in data]
X_train = tensorflow.ragged.stack(tensors).to_tensor()
#Creating dummy y_train, one for each audio files
y_train = tensorflow.convert_to_tensor(np.random.randint(0,2,(5,2)))
3. Create a model
I am using a functional API since I find it more readable and works better with an explicit input layer, but you can use input layers in Sequential API as well. Feel free to convert it to your preference.
Notice that I am using (None,128,216,1) as input shape. This creates 5 channels (first implicit one for batches) as – (Batch, audio_files, h, w, channels)
I have a dummy LSTM layer to showcase how the architecture works, feel free to stack more layers. Also, do note, that your DenseNet169 is only returning 2 features. And therefore your TimeDistributed layers is returning (None, None, 2) shaped tensor, where first None is the number of audio files, and the second None is the number of images (time axis). Therefore, do choose your next layers accordingly as 512 LSTM cells may be too much 🙂
#Create model
inp = layers.Input((None,128,216,1), ragged=True)
cnn = tensorflow.keras.applications.DenseNet169(include_top=True,
weights=None,
input_tensor=None,
input_shape=(128,216,1), #<----- input shape for cnn is just the image
pooling=None, classes=2)
#Feel free to modify these layers!
x = layers.TimeDistributed(cnn)(inp)
x = layers.LSTM(8)(x)
out = layers.Dense(2)(x)
model = Model(inp, out)
model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy',
optimizer='adam',
metrics='accuracy')
utils.plot_model(model, show_shapes=True, show_layer_names=False)
4. Train!
The next step is simply to train. Feel free to add your own parameters.
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=2)
Epoch 1/2
WARNING:tensorflow:5 out of the last 5 calls to <function Model.make_train_function.<locals>.train_function at 0x7f8e55b4fe50> triggered tf.function retracing. Tracing is expensive and the excessive number of tracings could be due to (1) creating @tf.function repeatedly in a loop, (2) passing tensors with different shapes, (3) passing Python objects instead of tensors. For (1), please define your @tf.function outside of the loop. For (2), @tf.function has experimental_relax_shapes=True option that relaxes argument shapes that can avoid unnecessary retracing. For (3), please refer to https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/function#controlling_retracing and https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/function for more details.
