Cross entropy IndexError Dimension out of range
I'm trying to train a GAN in some images, I followed the tutorial on pytorch's page and got to the following code, but when the crossentropy function is applyed during the training it returns the error below the code:

Your model's output is not consistent with your criterion.
If you want to keep the model and change the criterion:
Use BCELoss instead of CrossEntropyLoss. Note: You will need to cast your labels to float before passing them in. Also consider removing the Sigmoid() from the model and using BCEWithLogitsLoss.
If you want to keep the criterion and change the model:
CrossEntropyLoss expects the shape (..., num_classes). So for your 2 class case (real &amp; fake), you will have to predict 2 values for each image in the batch which means you will need to alter the output channels of the last layer in your model. It also expects the raw logits, so you should remove the Sigmoid().
