Hi got into another roadblock in tensorflow crashcourse...at the representation programming excercises at this page.
https://developers.google.com/…/repres…/programming-exercise
I'm at Task 2: Make Better Use of Latitude
seems I narrowed the issue to when I convert the raw latitude data into "buckets" or ranges which will be represented as 1 or zero in my feature. The actual code and issue I have is in the paste bin. Any advice would be great! thanks!
this is to convert the raw latitude data in my pandas dictionary into "buckets" or ranges as google calls them.
LATITUDE_RANGES = zip(xrange(32, 44), xrange(33, 45))
the above code I changed and replaced xrange with just range since xrange is already deprecated python3. could this be the problem? using range instead of xrange? see below for my conundrum.
def select_and_transform_features(source_df):
selected_examples = pd.DataFrame()
selected_examples["median_income"] = source_df["median_income"]
for r in LATITUDE_RANGES:
selected_examples["latitude_%d_to_%d" % r] = source_df["latitude"].apply(
lambda l: 1.0 if l >= r[0] and l < r[1] else 0.0)
return selected_examples
The next two are to run the above function and convert may exiting training and validation data sets into ranges or buckets for latitude
selected_training_examples = select_and_transform_features(training_examples)
selected_validation_examples = select_and_transform_features(validation_examples)
this is the training model
_ = train_model(
learning_rate=0.01,
steps=500,
batch_size=5,
training_examples=selected_training_examples,
training_targets=training_targets,
validation_examples=selected_validation_examples,
validation_targets=validation_targets)
THE PROBLEM:
oki so here is how I understand the problem. When I run the training model it throws this error
ValueError: Feature latitude_32_to_33 is not in features dictionary.
So I called selected_training_examples and selected_validation_examples here's what I found. If I run
selected_training_examples = select_and_transform_features(training_examples)
then I get the proper data set when I call selected_training_examples which yields all the feature "buckets" including Feature #latitude_32_to_33 but when I run the next function
selected_validation_examples = select_and_transform_features(validation_examples)
it yields no buckets or ranges resulting in the
`ValueError: Feature latitude_32_to_33 is not in features dictionary.`
so I next tried disabling the first function
selected_training_examples = select_and_transform_features(training_examples)
and I just ran the second function
selected_validation_examples = select_and_transform_features(validation_examples)
If I do this, I then get the desired dataset for selected_validation_examples .
The problem now is running the first function no longer gives me the "buckets" and I'm back to where I began? I guess my question is how are the two functions affecting each other? and preventing the other from giving me the datasets I need? If I run them together? Thanks in advance!
