Root Cause

SparseTensor used where only dense tensors accepted.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 88% success Use tf.sparse.to_dense() only where needed
  2. 85% success Use sparse-aware layers: tf.keras.layers.Dense supports sparse input

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Convert all sparse to dense globally 82% fail

    Memory explosion on large sparse data

  2. Remove sparse features 78% fail

    Loses feature information
