AttributeError: module ‘keras.utils’ has no attribute ‘sequence’ error occurs when you are “using an outdated version of Keras.” The main cause for this error is an inner refactoring of the Keras module in the latest version, which has changed the internal file structure in the higher version.
How to Fix It?
Solution 1: Upgrading the Keras version using pip
Use the below command to update Keras to the latest version.
pip install --upgrade keras
Solution 2: Upgrading the Keras version using Conda
Use the below command to upgrade keras in Conda.
conda upgrade -c conda-forge keras
If you get, a “module is not found” error, reinstall Keras with –strict-channel-priority to ensure Keras’s dependencies are installed from conda-forge as well.
conda install -c keras --strict-channel-priority
Solution 3: Upgrading Keras version using source code
To upgrade keras via source code, you need to download the respective release branch and then run:
python install setup.py
If you are trying to use the pad_sequences or to_categorical functions, or similar sequence preprocessing methods, you should use them from keras.preprocessing.sequence or keras.utils.np_utils, respectively.
For example:
from keras.preprocessing.sequence import pad_sequences
Or for to_categorical
from keras.utils.np_utils import to_categorical
If you’re trying to use a method or function that doesn’t exist or has been deprecated, you should consult the official Keras documentation or the source code to find the current way of using what you need.
That’s it.
