cannot load weights of bert model when i use multiple targets (target sequence)

[witkophdw]

i have project where i have to predict multiple keywords based on description of a movie.

I am able to train the bert model with 1 (binary target) , but I have train the model with multiple (431) binary targets.
I got an error when I try to load the weight to cas.
parameter:

• Final classification layer number of class predictions n_classes = 2. (but i tried as well with 1 (regression)

• Number of target variables (num_tgt_var = 435)

bert.load_weights('/opt/sas/viya/config/data/cas/default/public/bert-base-uncased.kerasmodel.h5' ,
num_target_var=num_tgt_var,
# Do not freeze base model weights.
# Allow layer updates with model tuning.
freeze_base_model=False
)

error:
ERROR: Target sequence for text input is not supported.
ERROR: The action stopped due to errors.

Hello,
Our developers confirmed that target sequence for text input is supported for Viya4.0. If you're using Viya3.5, you'll see this error message.

yes, i am working in sas viya 3.5, so i cannot use the general solution of dlpy. we have sas viya 4, but it is in a pilot phase right now. so I have to wait.
