Python is a general-purpose, high-level, and versatile programming language used to create web applications, websites, data analysis, task automation as well as data visualization. Programmers also use it for game development. It is widely used as it has concise and clear syntax, which makes it an easy-to-read language as it is written in English. Python programming has become a lot simpler with the libraries it offers. NumPy is a Python library to make programmers work with arrays. With this library, working with multidimensional arrays has become simpler. On the other hand, Tensor is basically a data container or rather considered as a multi-dimension array NumPy creates. Tensor of various dimensions can be created with NumPy.
When working with tensor, you may get the error “AttributeError: ‘Tensor’ object has no attribute ‘numpy’”. Check out how the error pops up
How the error occurs
When you try to use the following code, you end up with the error warning
predicted_id = tf.multinomial(tf.exp(predictions), num_samples=1)[0][0].numpy()Execution of this cause the following error:
AttributeError: 'Tensor' object has no attribute 'numpy'This is how you code:
sess = tf.Session()
with sess.as_default():
predicted_id = tf.multinomial(tf.exp(predictions), num_samples=1)[0][0].eval()After running this code, you get another error warning, which is as follows
D:\Python>python TextGenOut.py
File "TextGenOut.py", line 72
predicted_id = tf.multinomial(tf.exp(predictions), num_samples=1)[0][0].eval()

[[Node: model/dense/MatMul/ReadVariableOp = ReadVariableOp[dtype=DT_FLOAT, _device="/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0"](model/dense/kernel)]]This is how you get the error. Check out the solutions to fix it
How To Fix the Error “AttributeError: ‘Tensor’ object has no attribute ‘numpy’”
We come up with two ideal solutions to help you get rid of the AttributeError. Have a look at them
Solution 1
The ‘eagerly’ is the function that is executed by the config option of Tensorflow 2 that enables Tensor value through the method numpy(). You use this command for enabling eager execution. Have a look at the command
tf.config.run_functions_eagerly(True)It resolves the error message.
Solution 2
If you tried every possible solution you find to solve the error, then this one will surely help you. If you have a tensor version less than or equal to 2.2.0 with enabled eager execution, this is the solution meant to help you.
The tensor.numpy() function execution is stopped by the decorator @ts.function during the model.fit() fitting. It happens for performance purposes. The best solution to handle the error is to pass the run_eagarly=True flag to the mode.compile(). You can do it this way:
model.compile(..., run_eagerly=True)It efficiently solves the error.
Conclusion
We shed light on the solutions to fix the error “AttributeError: ‘Tensor’ object has no attribute ‘numpy’”. You can easily implement the solution to make the error go away.
