W4 A1 | Ex-5| Mismatch error for the shape of matrices

Hi,

So I’ve been struggling along with the implementation of this function for a few hours now and am at the point of just repeating things I’ve already tried numerous times in the hope that it will somehow miraculously work hah.

I keep getting a mismatch error for the shape of the matrices, and while I fully understand matrix multiplication rules and what dimensions must match up in order to be able to carry out the matmul, I am clearly misunderstanding something.

I also understand that during the loop of the Linear->ReLU for L-1 iterations, the input to the new layer is the output from the activation of the previous layer.

I’m not looking for the answer as I appreciate that this is an assignment, I am however seeking some guidance on where I might be placing my misunderstandings.

I can provide my code for the L_model_forward(…) function.

Thanks.

Edit 1: Currently working through this lovely post.

Edit 2: All good now, after finding out where I could access the test cases input I was able to sketch up what the architecture should look like along will all the respective shapes at various points. I very quickly realised I was not passing the correct W and b values.

I was only passing W1 and b1 during the entire loop, not sure why I never noticed it sooner, it’s very late here in the UK!

Hopefully, this helps some future weary travellers.

Hey, DDG!

Glad to know that you found it on your own.

Keep learning.
