How to use model.reset_states() in Keras?

Question

I have sequential data and I declared a LSTM model which predicts y with x in Keras. So if I call model.predict(x1) and model.predic

Answer 1

If you use explicitly either of:

model.reset_states() 

to reset the states of all layers in the model, or

layer.reset_states() 

to reset the states of a specific stateful RNN layer (also LSTM layer), implemented here:

def reset_states(self, states=None):
  if not self.stateful:
     raise AttributeError('Layer must be stateful.')

this means your layer(s) must be stateful.

In LSTM you need to:

• explicitly specify the batch size you are using, by passing a batch_size argument to the first layer in your model or batch_input_shape argument

• set stateful=True.

• specify shuffle=False when calling fit().

The benefits of using stateful models are probable best explained here.
