As an exercise I need to use only dense layers to perform text classifications. I want to leverage words embeddings, the issue is that the dataset then is 3D (samples,words of sentence,embedding dimension). Can I input a 3D dataset into a dense layer?
Thanks
As stated in the keras documentation you can use 3D (or higher rank) data as input for a Dense layer but the input gets flattened first:
Note: if the input to the layer has a rank greater than 2, then it is flattened prior to the initial dot product with kernel.
This means that if your input has shape (batch_size, sequence_length, dim), then the dense layer will first flatten your data to shape (batch_size * sequence_length, dim) and then apply a dense layer as usual. The output will have shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_units). This is actually the same as applying a Conv1D layer with kernel size 1, and it might be more explicit to use a Conv1D layer instead of a Dense layer.

I am following the self attention in Keras in the following link: How to add attention layer to a Bi-LSTM
I am new to python , what does the shape=(input_shape[-1],1) in self.add_weight and shape=(input_shape[1],1) in bias means?
The shape argument sets the expected input dimensions which the model will be fed. In your case, it is just going to be whatever the last dimension of the input shape is for the weight layer and the second dimension of the input shape for the bias layer.
Neural networks take in inputs of fixed size so while building a model, it is important that you hard code the input dimensions for each layer.
The input shape of my Keras model is (batch_size, time_steps, spatial_dim, features), which was fed through a TimeDistributed 1D convolution with N filters. The output of the TimeDistributed convolution is (batch_size, time_steps, spatial_dim, N). I wanted to feed this output to an RNN, however, I did not want to lose the spatial_dim by flattening the last two dimensions. So I reshaped my convolution output as (batch_size, spatial_dim, time_steps, N) as an input to a TimeDistributed RNN layer. Is this valid to flip the time axis and apply TimeDistributed RNN for preserving the spatial dimension? Any other alternative to preserve the spatial_dim while applying RNN?
How is dense layer changing the output coming from LSTM layer? How come that from 50 shaped output from previous layer i get output of size 1 from dense layer that is used for prediction?
Lets say i have this basic model:
model = Sequential()
model.add(LSTM(50,input_shape=(60,1)))
model.add(Dense(1, activation="softmax"))
Is the Dense layer taking the values coming from previous layer and assigning the probablity(using softmax function) of each of the 50 inputs and then taking it out as an output?
No, Dense layers do not work like that, the input has 50-dimensions, and the output will have dimensions equal to the number of neurons, one in this case. The output is a weighted linear combination of the input plus a bias.
Note that with the softmax activation, it makes no sense to use it with a one neuron layer, as the softmax is normalized, the only possible output will be constant 1.0. That's probably now what you want.
Using RapidMiner I want to implement an LSTM to classify patternes in a time series. Input data is a flat table. My first layer in the Keras operator is a core reshape from exampleset_length x nr_of_attributes to batch x time-steps x features. In the reshape parameter I specifically enter three figures because I want a specific amount of features and time-steps. The only way to achieve this is to specify also batch size, so in total three figures. But when I add a RNN LSTM layer an error is returned: Input is incompatible with layer lstm expected ndim=n found ndim=n+1. What’s wrong?
When specifying 'input_shape' for the LSTM layer, you do not include the batch size.
So your 'input_shape' value should be (timesteps, input_dim).

How can I set up a keras model such that the final LSTM layer outputs a prediction for each time step while having variable sequence lengths as input?
I'd then like to provide labels for each of the timesteps after a dense layer with linear activation.
When I try to add a reshape or a dense layer to the LSTM model that is returning the full sequence and has a masking layer to take care of variable sequence lengths, it says:
The reshape and the dense layers do not support masking.
Would this be possible to do?
You can use the TimeDistributed layer wrapper for this. This applies the layer you want to each timestep. In your case, you could also just use TimeDistributedDense.
