[FIXED] How can I solve "TypeError: max() received an invalid combination of arguments - got (Linear, int), but expected"?

Issue

How I solve this error, I am trying to train a ticket classification model

I'm trying to make a ticket sorter with the Pytorch library, but I have this error. I can't understand what I've done wrong Can you help me?

data_transforms = {
    'train' : transforms.Compose([
        transforms.RandomResizedCrop(224),
        transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
        transforms.ToTensor(),
        transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
    ]),
    'val' : transforms.Compose([
        transforms.Resize(256),
        transforms.CenterCrop(224),
        transforms.ToTensor(),
        transforms.Normalize([0.485, 0.456, 0.406], [0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
    ])

Solution

As the error message says the problem is in this line:

_, preds = torch.max(outputs, 1)

There are two problems here:

1. As @Idodo said, you're giving 2 arguments and neither of them is a tensor. According to the message they are a Linear and a int, respectively.

2. If you remove the int you still have an error, because you're trying to compute a max value of a nn.Linear, which is not possible. Assessing your code I got the second error. In your model's forward method you have:

x = self.fc3

That's the problem. You must do:

x = self.fc3(x)
