Week1 assignment 2 error - Inputs to a layer should be tensor

[Kyaw]

I am getting below error from convolutional_model…

outputs = tfl.Dense(units=6, activation = “softmax”)(F)
Try single-quotes around ‘softmax’.

And maybe your value for F is wrong.

Dear TMosh,
Thank for your reply.

It is my very first time using Tensorflow and thus I am not familiar with the usage function(paramters)(input). So i read the instructions in the notebook and take for granted. Now I realize that I need to add respective P2, A2, Z2, etc in each line. It run successfully.

Can some one explain me what is the usage function(parameters)(input) instead of function (input, parameters). The latter is what beginner level people like me are used to but not the former. Is it kind of decorator?

Best
