I am trying to train a Pytorch LSTM network, but I’m getting ValueError: Expected target size (2, 13), got torch.Size([2]) when I try to calculate CrossEntropyLoss. I think I need to change the shape somewhere, but I can’t figure out where. I’ve seen this error message in some posts but couldn’t find any that use cross entropy loss.
For this problem, I am trying to predict a from word using the last three words. So, if “this is example text” appeared in the corpus, the corresponding feature would be [“this”, “is”,
“example”] and the label would be [“text”] (with every word mapped to their ids of course).
Here is my network definition:
class LSTM(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, vocab_size, embedding_dim, hidden_dim, n_layers, drop_prob=0.2):
super(LSTM, self).__init__()
# network size parameters
self.n_layers = n_layers
self.hidden_dim = hidden_dim
self.vocab_size = vocab_size
self.embedding_dim = embedding_dim
# the layers of the network
self.embedding = nn.Embedding(self.vocab_size, self.embedding_dim)
self.lstm = nn.LSTM(self.embedding_dim, self.hidden_dim, self.n_layers, dropout=drop_prob, batch_first=True)
self.dropout = nn.Dropout(drop_prob)
self.fc = nn.Linear(self.hidden_dim, self.vocab_size)
def forward(self, input, hidden):
# Perform a forward pass of the model on some input and hidden state.
batch_size = input.size(0)
print(f'batch_size: {batch_size}')
print(Input shape: {input.shape}')
# pass through embeddings layer
embeddings_out = self.embedding(input)
print(f'Shape after Embedding: {embeddings_out.shape}')
# pass through LSTM layers
lstm_out, hidden = self.lstm(embeddings_out, hidden)
print(f'Shape after LSTM: {lstm_out.shape}')
# pass through dropout layer
dropout_out = self.dropout(lstm_out)
print(f'Shape after Dropout: {dropout_out.shape}')
#pass through fully connected layer
fc_out = self.fc(dropout_out)
print(f'Shape after FC: {fc_out.shape}')
# return output and hidden state
return fc_out, hidden
def init_hidden(self, batch_size):
#Initializes hidden state
# Create two new tensors `with sizes n_layers x batch_size x hidden_dim,
# initialized to zero, for hidden state and cell state of LSTM
hidden = (torch.zeros(self.n_layers, batch_size, self.hidden_dim), torch.zeros(self.n_layers, batch_size, self.hidden_dim))
return hidden
I added comments stating the shape of the network at each spot. My data is in a TensorDataset called training_dataset with two attributes, features and labels. Features has shape torch.Size([97, 3]), and
labels has shape: torch.Size([97]).
This is the code for the network training:
# Size parameters
vocab_size = 13
embedding_dim = 256
hidden_dim = 256
n_layers = 2
# Training parameters
epochs = 3
learning_rate = 0.001
clip = 1
batch_size = 2
training_loader = DataLoader(training_dataset, batch_size=batch_size, drop_last=True, shuffle=True)
net = LSTM(vocab_size, embedding_dim, hidden_dim, n_layers)
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(net.parameters(), lr=learning_rate)
loss_func = torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
net.train()
for e in range(epochs):
print(f'Epoch {e}')
print(batch_size)
hidden = net.init_hidden(batch_size)
# loops through each batch
for features, labels in training_loader:
# resets training history
hidden = tuple([each.data for each in hidden])
net.zero_grad()
# computes gradient of loss from backprop
output, hidden = net.forward(features, hidden)
loss = loss_func(output, labels)
loss.backward()
# using clipping to avoid exploding gradient
nn.utils.clip_grad_norm_(net.parameters(), clip)
optimizer.step()
When I try to run the training I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "train.py", line 75, in <module>
loss = loss_func(output, labels)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/torch/nn/modules/module.py", line 722, in _call_impl
result = self.forward(*input, **kwargs)

raise ValueError('Expected target size {}, got {}'.format(
ValueError: Expected target size (2, 13), got torch.Size([2])
Also here is the result of the print statements:
batch_size: 2
Input shape: torch.Size([2, 3])
Shape after Embedding: torch.Size([2, 3, 256])
Shape after LSTM: torch.Size([2, 3, 256])
Shape after Dropout: torch.Size([2, 3, 256])
Shape after FC: torch.Size([2, 3, 13])
There is some kind of shape error happening, but I can’t figure out where. Any help would be appreciated. If relevant I’m using Python 3.8.5 and Pytorch 1.6.0.
