Lesson 2 - fit_model()

Part 1 (2017)
1

Hi,
I’m trying to run the the notebook for lesson 2. Under the topic “Modifying the model”, I tried to run the code to retrain the new last layer of the VGG model. When I run:

fit_model(model, batches, val_batches, nb_epoch=2)

I get the error below:

AttributeError: 'NumpyArrayIterator' object has no attribute 'N'

Jeremy had a note saying: “Careful! Now that we’ve modified the definition of model, be careful not to rerun any code in the previous sections, without first recreating the model from scratch! (Yes, I made that mistake myself, which is why I’m warning you about it now…)”

I thought maybe I should first run:

vgg = Vgg16()
model = vgg.model

and once I redefined the model, continue, but I still get the same error. Does anybody know how to fix this error?

Thanks for your help,
-Sepehr

@sepher have you (re)compiled the model?

Hi @Gelu74,
Yes, I did using this line:

 model.compile(optimizer=opt, loss='categorical_crossentropy', 
                metrics=['accuracy'])

mmm… it is hard to debug without knowing the exact steps you have taken, especially in defining batches

re-running the notebook form the begining should solve the issue, doesn’t it ?

@sepehr try using lowercase ‘N’ instead of uppercase

def fit_model(model, batches, val_batches, nb_epoch=1):
model.fit_generator(batches, samples_per_epoch=batches.n, nb_epoch=nb_epoch, validation_data=val_batches, nb_val_samples=val_batches.n)

@nimrack Awesome. That solved the issue. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your help. Ronald’s solution of changing N to a lower case n actually solved the issue.

Thanks - ran into the same issue

Thanks, it helped me too.

So what happened here? Did the API change?

I’m very curious about the underlying issue too!

Thanks! Helped me too!

In my scenario it was the other way around, code from git was using n and I had to replace with N.

This helped me as well!

I also ran into this same issue but changing N to lowecase n doesn’t solve my issue, I couldn’t figure out what’s happening ?

Same here - had to change batches.n to batches.N :

Thanks this helped me. Curiously though, I had to do the exact opposite: change ‘n’ by ‘N’.
