ValueError for Sequential model.fit

I'm learning Tensorflow and i tried out this program This program is from this Youtube Video at 4:40:00

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.array([float(i) for i in range(-7, 15, 3)])
y = x + 10
plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.show()

x = tf.constant(x)
y = tf.constant(y)

model = tf.keras.Sequential([
  tf.keras.layers.Dense(1)
])

model.compile(loss = tf.keras.losses.mae, 
              optimizer = tf.keras.optimizers.SGD(), 
              metrics = ["mae"])
model.fit(x, y, epochs = 5)

But I get this error:

Epoch 1/5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

      6               optimizer = tf.keras.optimizers.SGD(),
      7               metrics = ["mae"])
----> 8 model.fit(x, y, epochs = 5)

    ValueError: Exception encountered when calling layer "sequential_44" (type Sequential).

    Call arguments received:

      • training=True

What mistake have i done and what should i do to correct it? If I have to make some changes then how did it work in the video?

Thanks for posting this answer.

After applying your solution - I also learned that order is critical:

this order ERRORS out

model = tf.keras.Sequential()
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(1))
model.add(tf.keras.Input(shape=(1,)))

Input shape has to come before Dense

model = tf.keras.Sequential()
model.add(tf.keras.Input(shape=(1,)))
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(1))

-- The answer model.fit(x[..., None], y, epochs = 100) fixes the problem too

You need to add an input layer into your sequential model as follows: model = tf.keras.Sequential([tf.keras.Input(shape=(1,)), tf.keras.layers.Dense(1) ]).

The input layer specifies that indeed you are expecting scalar inputs.

You may need to add a new axis to x to be compatible with the dense layer. Try the following code.

model.compile(loss = tf.keras.losses.mae, 
              optimizer = tf.keras.optimizers.SGD(), 
              metrics = ["mae"])
model.fit(x[..., None], y, epochs = 100) 
# OK

Note, in the tutorials, the instructor also mentioned it in his Github repo.
