Is it possible to get output of embedding keras layer?

Question

I want to use time as an input feature to my deep learning model. So I need to use Embedding layer to convert it to embedded vectors. SO I used:

from keras.layers import Embedding
hours_input=Input(shape=(1,),name='hours_input')
hours_embedding=Embedding(24,64)hours_input

I need the output of Embedding layer (weights I mean). I used hours_embedding.get_weights(). But I got an error: get_weights() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self' So, How can I get embedding weight matrix?

Answer 1

Create your model First.

hours_input=Input(shape=(1,),name='hours_input')
hours_embedding=Embedding(24,64)(hours_input)
model = keras.models.Model(inputs = hours_input, outputs = hours_embedding)

And then you can access:

model.layers[1].get_weights()

Output:

[array([[ 0.00782292, -0.03037642, -0.03229956, ..., -0.02188529,
