I'm trying to write my first neural network with pytorch. Unfortunately, I encounter a problem when I want to get the loss. The following error message:

RuntimeError: Function 'LogSoftmaxBackward0' returned nan values in its 0th output.

So I tried debugging and found something strange. The input has no nans and infs as I verify with the following:

print(torch.any(torch.isnan(inputs)))

But if I always let the individual steps in the model x be output, I see that there will be inf at some point.

training

inputs, labels = data
print(torch.any(torch.isnan(inputs)))
optimizer.zero_grad()
outputs = model(inputs)
print(outputs)
loss = criterion(outputs, labels)
print(f"epoch: {epoch + 1} loss: {loss.item()}")
loss.backward()optimizer.step()

model

class Net(Module):def __init__(self):super(Net, self).__init__()self.layer1 = Conv1d(in_channels=1, out_channels=5, kernel_size=5, stride=2, dtype=torch.float64)self.act1 = ReLU()self.pool1 = MaxPool1d(2)self.layer2 = Conv1d(in_channels=5, out_channels=1, kernel_size=2, dtype=torch.float64)self.fcl1 = Linear(1350, 16, dtype=torch.float64)def forward(self, x):print("raw", x)x = self.layer1(x)print("conv1d 1", x)x = self.act1(x)print("relu", x)x = self.layer2(x)print("conv1d 2", x)x = self.pool1(x)x = self.pool1(x)x = self.pool1(x)x = self.pool1(x)x = self.pool1(x)x = self.pool1(x)x = self.pool1(x)print("pools", x)x = self.fcl1(x)print("linear", x)return x

Thanks for helping

Sorry, my reputation is not enough for me to comment directly. This may be caused by the exploding gradient due to the excessive learning rate. It is recommended that you reduce the learning rate or use weight_decay.
