The input element has 3 rows each having 199 columns and the output has 46 rows and 1 column
Input.shape, output.shape
((204563, 3, 199), (204563, 46, 1))
When the input is given the following error is thrown:
from keras.layers import Dense

from keras.layers.recurrent import SimpleRNN
model = Sequential()
model.add(SimpleRNN(100, input_shape = (Input.shape[1], Input.shape[2])))

model.compile(loss = 'categorical_crossentropy', optimizer = 'adam', metrics = ['accuracy'])
model.fit(Input, output, epochs = 20, batch_size = 200)
error thrown:

ValueError: Error when checking model target: expected dense_6 to have 2 dimensions, but got array with shape (204563, 46, 1)
Please explain the reason for the problem and possible soution
The problem is that SimpleRNN(100) returns a tensor of shape (204563, 100), hence, the Dense(46) (since output.shape[1]=46) will return a tensor of shape (204563, 46), but your y_target have shape (204563, 46, 1). You need to remove the last dimension with, for example, y_target = np.squeeze(y_target), so that the dimension are consistent
