Args: x_train: list of training data. y_train: list of training target (label) data. x_valid: list of validation data. y_valid: list of validation target (label) data. batch_size: Integer. Number of samples per gradient update. If unspecified, `batch_size` will default to 32. epochs: Integer. Number of epochs to train the model. verbose: Integer. 0, 1, or 2. Verbosity mode. 0 = silent, 1 = progress bar, 2 = one line per epoch. callbacks: List of `keras.callbacks.Callback` instances. List of callbacks to apply during training. shuffle: Boolean (whether to shuffle the training data before each epoch). `shuffle` will default to True. """
