Unable to get repr for <class 'torch.Tensor'>

With this code;

  for _, (imgs, captions) in tqdm(enumerate(coco_dataloader), total=len(coco_dataloader), leave=False):
        imgs = imgs.to(Constants.device)
        captions = captions.to(Constants.device)

        outputs = model(imgs, captions[:-1])
        outputs1 = outputs.reshape(-1, outputs.shape[2])
        captions1 = captions.reshape(-1)
        loss = criterion(outputs1, captions1)

        print(f"\nTraining loss {loss.item()}, step {step}\n")

I find that when I set the cuda device to captions and images and I inspect their values, I see this exception message ā€œUnable to get repr for <class ā€˜torch.Tensorā€™>ā€
One solution is not to set the device to the outputs, captions and model. but then I get this exception:

ā€œInput, output and indices must be on the current deviceā€.

So I canā€™t do that either. I appear to be in a bind when trying to fix this, what should I do?
UPDATE
Example of the data where the code fails;
captions = tensor([[ 1],[ 4], [1420], [ 406], [ 139], [ 35], [ 727], [1125], [ 765], [ 5], [ 2]])

imgs = tensor([[[[0.5490, 0.5373, 0.5333, ā€¦, 0.5647, 0.5451, 0.5490],
[0.5412, 0.5490, 0.5490, ā€¦, 0.5569, 0.5725, 0.5412],

      [0.8588, 0.8431, 0.8392,  ..., 0.9804, 0.9882, 0.9804]]]])

Sometimes data like this goes through and there is no obvious reason why it should be any different.

I also get lots of these error messages;

How are you trying to ā€œinspectā€ these values? Are you using a debugger, which raises the error and is the code working find in the Python interpreter?

I have updated my question with more details which hopefully will make it easier to work out what is happening.
I am using Pycharm debugging tools to get the information.
The exception message ā€œUnable to get repr for <class ā€˜torch.Tensorā€™>ā€ happens on this line

imgs = imgs.to(Constants.device)

Thanks for the update. I donā€™t know how the PyCharm debugger is working, but regarding the error you are seeing:

Indexing.cu:605: block: [1,0,0], thread: [127,0,0] Assertion `srcIndex < srcSelectDimSize` failed.

an indexing operation is failing.
You could either execute the code on the CPU to get a better error message or run the code via CUDA_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 python script.py args, which should point to the line of code, which is raising this error.

I checked again by removing the CUDA and y using the CPU as you suggested. I got a different error compared to last time. My new error message is "index out of range in self ". I found the problem with the embedding definition and fixed it now. Thank you for your help.
