AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'compile'

Question

I've been facing this attribute error, any ideas how I can solve it?

def model(input_shape):
   model = keras.Sequential()
   model.add(keras.layers.LSTM(64, input_shape=(1,9), return_sequences=True))
   model.add(keras.layers.LSTM(64))
   model.add(keras.layers.Dense(64, activation='relu'))
   model.add(keras.layers.Dropout(0.3))
   model.add(keras.layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax'))
   return model

model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])

model.summary()

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

      2 model.summary()

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'compile'

Answer 1

The function and variable have the same name, causing the issue. You can either rename the variable or the function.

def model(input_shape):
   model = keras.Sequential()
   model.add(keras.layers.LSTM(64, input_shape=(1,9), return_sequences=True))
   model.add(keras.layers.LSTM(64))

   model.add(keras.layers.Dense(64, activation='relu'))
   model.add(keras.layers.Dropout(0.3))
   
   model.add(keras.layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax'))

   return model

my_model = model() # your initializer
my_model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])
my_model.summary()
