When running cross_entropy with indices to ignore and no reduction, I get inconsistent results in the ignored positions. For example:
In [547]: scores
Out[547]: 
tensor([[0.6453, 0.0335, 0.8880, 0.7096, 0.6212],

In the last example, one of the ignored positions had a loss of 8e16!
So, is it working as expected, since these positions are to be ignored and the reduction apparently works fine? Even if it is, I find it very strange not to get always zeros in the ignored positions.
