RuntimeError: expected scalar type Long but found Float (Pytorch)

Question

I've tried many times to fix, also I've used the example codes from functional.py then I got my same "loss" value. How can I fix this?

My libraries:

RuntimeError: expected scalar type Long but found Float

Answer 1

it seems that the dtype of the tensor "labels" is FloatTensor. However, nn.CrossEntropyLoss expects a target of type LongTensor. This means that you should check the type of "labels". if its the case then you should use the following code to convert the dtype of "labels" from FloatTensor to LongTensor:

loss=error(outputs,labels.long())
