How to “Merge” Sequential models in Keras 2.0?

问题:

I am trying to merge two Sequential models In Keras 2.0, using the following line:

merged_model.add(Merge([model1, model2], mode='concat')) 

This still works fine, but gives a warning:

"The `Merge` layer is deprecated and will be removed after 08/2017. Use instead layers from `keras.layers.merge`, e.g. `add`, `concatenate`, etc."  

However, studying the Keras documentation and trying add, Add(), has not resulted in something that works. I have read several posts from people with the same problem, but found no solution that works in my case below. Any suggestions?

model = Sequential() model1 = Sequential() model1.add(Dense(300, input_dim=40, activation='relu', name='layer_1')) model2 = Sequential() model2.add(Dense(300, input_dim=40, activation='relu', name='layer_2')) merged_model = Sequential()  merged_model.add(Merge([model1, model2], mode='concat'))  merged_model.add(Dense(1, activation='softmax', name='output_layer')) merged_model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam',  metrics=['accuracy'])  checkpoint = ModelCheckpoint('weights.h5', monitor='val_acc', save_best_only=True, verbose=2) early_stopping = EarlyStopping(monitor="val_loss", patience=5)  merged_model.fit([x1, x2], y=y, batch_size=384, epochs=200,              verbose=1, validation_split=0.1, shuffle=True,  callbacks=[early_stopping, checkpoint]) 

EDIT: When I tried (as suggested below by Kent Sommer):

from keras.layers.merge import concatenate merged_model.add(concatenate([model1, model2])) 

This was the error message:

All inputs to the layer should be tensors. 

回答1:

What that warning is saying is that instead of using the Merge layer with a specific mode, the different modes have now been split into their own individual layers.

So Merge(mode='concat') is now concatenate(axis=-1).

However, since you want to merge models not layers, this will not work in your case. What you will need to do is use the functional model since this behavior is no longer supported with the basic Sequential model type.

In your case that means the code should be changed to the following:

from keras.layers.merge import concatenate from keras.models import Model, Sequential from keras.layers import Dense, Input  model1_in = Input(shape=(27, 27, 1)) model1_out = Dense(300, input_dim=40, activation='relu', name='layer_1')(model1_in) model1 = Model(model1_in, model1_out)  model2_in = Input(shape=(27, 27, 1)) model2_out = Dense(300, input_dim=40, activation='relu', name='layer_2')(model2_in) model2 = Model(model2_in, model2_out)   concatenated = concatenate([model1_out, model2_out]) out = Dense(1, activation='softmax', name='output_layer')(concatenated)  merged_model = Model([model1_in, model2_in], out) merged_model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam',  metrics=['accuracy'])  checkpoint = ModelCheckpoint('weights.h5', monitor='val_acc', save_best_only=True, verbose=2) early_stopping = EarlyStopping(monitor="val_loss", patience=5)  merged_model.fit([x1, x2], y=y, batch_size=384, epochs=200,              verbose=1, validation_split=0.1, shuffle=True,  callbacks=[early_stopping, checkpoint]) 

回答2:

Unless you have a good reason to keep the models separated, you can (and should) have the same topology in a single model. Something like:

input1 = Input(shape=(27, 27, 1)) dense1 = Dense(300, activation='relu', name='layer_1')(input1) input2 = Input(shape=(27, 27, 1)) dense2 = Dense(300, activation='relu', name='layer_2')(input2) merged = concatenate([dense1, dense2]) out = Dense(1, activation='softmax', name='output_layer')(merged) model = Model(inputs = [input1, input2], outputs = [out])
