You have to transform the images into Tensors.
You could use this code taken from the ImageNet example:
normalize = transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
                                     std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])

    train_dataset = datasets.ImageFolder(
        traindir,
        transforms.Compose([
            transforms.RandomResizedCrop(224),
            transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
            transforms.ToTensor(),
            normalize,
        ]))

In your case you need the transforms.ToTensor() transformation. The others are optional.
