pridictor = Sequential()

pridictor.add(Dense(16, activation='relu', input_dim=4))

pridictor.add(Dense(16, activation='relu' ))
pridictor.add(Dense(16, activation='relu' ))
pridictor.add(Dense(2, activation='relu'))

pridictor.compile(Dense(optimizer='adam', loss='categorical_crossentropy',metrics= 
['accuracy']))

so the error i am getting is init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'units' this error is coming from the last line of my code which is "pridictor.compile(Dense(optimizer='adam', loss='categorical_crossentropy',metrics= ['accuracy']))"

CodePudding user response：

The problem comes from the line pridictor.compile(Dense(optimizer='adam', loss='categorical_crossentropy', metrics= ['accuracy'])).

It seems you are trying to compile your model wrongly. To compile your model you can do: pridictor.compile(optimizer="Adam", loss="categorical_crossentropy", metrics=["accuracy"]).

Please notice the omission of Dense in the syntax, pridictor.compile() function requires the optimizer and loss arguments, but instead you are providing a Dense layer as an argument, which is wrong. You can see the documentation here if you want to know more.

CodePudding user response：

Compile is not a layer. It optimise your network with a optimiser function which in your case is Adam. You could remove "dense" from pridictor.compile and that should run.
