Error when using keras: module 'keras.layers' has no attribute 'TextVectorization'

Question

import os

os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "tensorflow"

import pandas as pd
import pathlib
import random
import string
import re
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
import keras
from keras import layers

MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH = 40
INP_VOCAB_SIZE = 15000

input_vectorization = keras.layers.TextVectorization(
    max_tokens=INP_VOCAB_SIZE,
    output_mode="int",
    output_sequence_length=MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH
)

AttributeError: module 'keras.layers' has no attribute 'TextVectorization'

I import the keras module and get layers from keras, but when I try to use keras.layers.TextVectorization, my code throws that error.

I've tried writing the call differently but then I get a new AttributeError.

input_vectorization = tf.keras.TextVectorization(
    #same inside as before
)

AttributeError: module 'keras' has no attribute '__version__'

I've also tried reinstalling both tensorflow and keras using pip, but that didn't change anything. What should I do?

Keras version: 3.1.1

Tensorflow version: 2.16.1

@Innat thank you for your reply! When I change it to input_vectorization = keras.layers.TextVectorization(), I get the error module 'keras.layers' has no attribute 'TextVectorization' — Leila Saxby

You are using keras 3. So, first check if this layer is removed or updated it namespace. — Innat

@Innat I looked in the Keras 3 documentation, and it's still there. It says I access it by typing keras.layers.TextVectorization(), but that hasn't worked. Is there anywhere else I can check? — Leila Saxby

After tensorflow 2.0 you should access keras using tf.keras whenever you work with tensorflow and Textvectorization as per the docs exists there - https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/layers/TextVectorization

so all you should need to do is change your call to tf.keras.layers.TextVectorization

Thank you for your response! I changed it to what you said, but I'm getting the error AttributeError: module 'keras' has no attribute '__version__'

@LeilaSaxby can you edit your question with the versions of keras and tf that you are running ?

Sorry, I added them!

I figured out the issue. There was something wrong with the virtual environment I was using in vs code. Creating a new enviroment with conda and reinstalling tensorflow and keras locally had everything working smoothly again.

Thanks for everyone's help!
