Keras. ValueError: I/O operation on closed file

Question

I use jupyter notebook with anaconda. I use kerast firstly, and i can't do tutorial. About this issues are two themes in stackoverflow, but solve not found.

My code:

model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(1, input_dim=1, activation='softmax'))

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

X_train_shape = X_train.reshape(len(X_train), 1)
Y_train_shape = Y_train.reshape(len(Y_train), 1)
model.fit(X_train, Y_train, nb_epoch=5, batch_size=32)

And I have error, it's some random and sometimes one or two epoch competed:

Epoch 1/5 4352/17500 [======>.......................]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) in () 2 # of 32 samples 3 #sleep(0.1) ----> 4 model.fit(X_train, Y_train, nb_epoch=5, batch_size=32) 5 #sleep(0.1)

Answer 1

Change your verbose level in model.fit() to verbose=0.
See github.com/fchollet/keras/issues/2110

It's not a straight-on "fix", but it should help alleviate a race condition associated with updating of the iPython console.
