I looked Tensorflow’s advancedArguments function up on the Tensorflow documentation, but the below screenshot was all of the information that was available on this function:-

I did not want to give up, so after taking a break from my quest to use this function, I decided that I would try to formulate the code myself.

Specifically, I needed to set fail_on_non_keras_compatible_feature_name = False, as the default for this parameter is set to True. I decided to define the variable, argument, and place the function and…
