No module named ‘keras.layers.advanced_activations’

by

When you encounter the error message “no module named ‘keras.layers.advanced_activations'”, it means that the Keras library is missing the ‘advanced_activations’ module. This module is used for advanced activation functions such as LeakyReLU, PReLU, and ELU.

To fix this issue, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check if Keras is installed: Open your command prompt or terminal and run the following command: pip show keras. This command will display the version and installation details of Keras. If Keras is not installed, you can install it using pip install keras.
  2. Update Keras: Even if Keras is installed, it’s a good idea to update it to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command: pip install --upgrade keras.
  3. Check the Keras version: Run the command import keras; print(keras.__version__) in Python to check the version of Keras. Ensure that you have a version that supports the ‘advanced_activations’ module. This module was introduced in Keras version 2.0.0, so if you have an older version, you need to update it.
  4. If the above steps did not solve the issue, it’s possible that the Keras installation is corrupted. In this case, you can try uninstalling Keras and reinstalling it again. Use the commands pip uninstall keras and pip install keras to remove and install Keras respectively.

Here is an example of a code snippet that uses the LeakyReLU activation function from the ‘advanced_activations’ module:

from keras.layers import Dense
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers.advanced_activations import LeakyReLU

model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(64))
model.add(LeakyReLU(alpha=0.1))
model.add(Dense(10, activation='softmax'))

In this example, we import the ‘LeakyReLU’ class from the ‘advanced_activations’ module and use it as an activation function in a neural network model.
