Context: I am using a contrib.while_loop
in my network to multiply a squared matrix by itself repeatedly and dynamically.
Issue: The issue I meet is that this operation comes from the deferred initialization (some convolution / dense layers before the operation):
ValueError: Deferred initialization failed because shape cannot be inferred. Cannot decide shape for the following arguments (0s in shape means unknown dimensions). Consider providing them as input:
This makes sense because the output shape of the while loop is in general unknown. However in my case, the output shape is known (shape of the input matrix).
What I tried?
- Based on this answer, I use a Block and not HybridBlock for the operation but the constraint is that I have to write a sequential network which is not very friendly in my case (auto encoder structure).
- I began looking at the
infer_shape
HybridBlock method to try overiding it but I am getting stucked.
Do you have any ideas to make this work?
I am on the 1.6.0 version.
