I am trying to create a CRNN that will feed the output of the CNN to an LSTM layer. However, I am running into an error that there is an inplace error somewhere and I don’t know where. Here is my error message and model “one of the variables needed for gradient computation has been modified by an inplace operation: [torch.cuda.FloatTensor [256, 64]] is at version 2; expected version 1 instead. Hint: the backtrace further above shows the operation that failed to compute its gradient.”
