How to Fix TypeError: (‘Keyword argument not understood:‘, ‘W_constraint‘)

Error : TypeError: ('Keyword argument not understood:', 'W_constraint')

Solution Using kernel_constraint instead of W_constraint

• kernel_constraint: Constraint function applied to the kernel matrix (see keras.constraints).

• bias_constraint: Constraint function applied to the bias vector (see keras.constraints).
