Hi there, I know this is a common error and there are many responses but I’ve read through them and I can’t find a fix. I’m trying to create what really should be a simple siamese network. I’ve successfully made them before. But I just can’t get around this error. I’ve gotten this error before and it usually means I tried to turn something into a numpy array in the middle of the network, but I can’t find where that’s happening here.
class ShearNet(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(ShearNet, self).__init__()
        self.fc =  nn.Linear(100,10)
        nn.Sequential(
                            nn.Linear(100, 10),
                            nn.Linear(10, 10),
                            nn.Linear(10, 2),
                            nn.Linear(2,1)
                                     
                            )
    def forward(self, x):
        output = self.fc(x)
        return output

Before, I had this return the 2 outputs and it worked just fine. It’s only since asking the forward to find the cosine similarity that it won’t work. I think using functional inside a forward function shouldn’t cause any problems.

    super(ShearShell, self).__init__()
    self.shear_net = shear_net
  def forward(self, x1, x2):
    output1 = self.shear_net(x1)
    output2 = self.shear_net(x2)
    cosbt = F.cosine_similarity(x1,x2, dim=2)
    output = torch.acos(cosbt)
    return output

        #loss = lossfunc(output1, output2, trainout)

What am I missing??? Thank you!
