model.compile(optimizer=Adam(), loss="categorical_crossentropy", metrics=["accuracy",]) # settings for the training, loss means the way to calculate loss - categorical crossentropy

model.fit(X, y, epochs=10, batch_size=8) # training the model, epochs means how many times does it have to read the data, batch_size is an optimization to train on multiple messages at the same time. Loss and accuracy are the opposite things, loss is how far the output is from a correct one, from 1 to 0, and accuracy how often does the model get the answer right, from 0 to 1.
