Description

Hi, I have been working through the Recommending movies: retrieval tutorial and in the Metrics portion of the jupyter notebook I have been receiving a ValueError: Cannot convert '('c', 'o', 'u', 'n', 't', 'e', 'r')' to a shape. Found invalid entry 'c' of type '<class 'str'>'. Here is the cell that is giving me problems: metrics = tfrs.metrics.FactorizedTopK(
candidates=movies.batch(128).map(movie_model),
)

Research direction

Start with the Metrics portion of the “Recommending movies: retrieval” Jupyter notebook and run the shown FactorizedTopK cell in the tutorial environment. Inspect the interaction between movies.batch(128).map(movie_model) and FactorizedTopK; done means the cell runs without the reported shape-conversion ValueError.
