Keras loaded model output is different from the training model output When I train my model it has a two-dimension output - it is (none, 1) - corresponding to the time series I'm trying to predict. But whenever I load the saved model in order to make predictions, it has a three-dimensional output - (none, 40, 1) - where 40 corresponds to the n_steps required to fit the conv1D network. What is wrong? 

Here is the code:

df = np.load('Principal.npy')


    # Conv1D
#model = load_model('ModeloConv1D.h5')
model = autoencoder_conv1D((2, 20, 17), n_steps=40)

model.load_weights('weights_35067.hdf5')

# summarize model.
model.summary()

    # load dataset
df = df


    # split into input (X) and output (Y) variables
X = f.separar_interface(df, n_steps=40)
# THE X INPUT SHAPE (59891, 17) length and attributes, respectively ##    

# conv1D input format
X = X.reshape(X.shape[0], 2, 20, X.shape[2])

# Make predictions    

test_predictions = model.predict(X)
## test_predictions.shape =  (59891, 40, 1)

test_predictions = model.predict(X).flatten()
##test_predictions.shape = (2395640, 1)


plt.figure(3) 
plt.plot(test_predictions)
plt.legend('Prediction')
plt.show()


In the plot below you can see that it is plotting the input format. 


Here is the network architecture:

The problem was due to the output format. Instead of outputting one value per input sequence, in order to produce a complete and unique sequence as output, it was outputting sequences. Though instead of having a unique sequence as result it got a sequence of sequences. The solution was to fix the network output shape and data shape as well.
