'MaskedLMOutput' object has no attribute 'view'
I wrote this:
def forward(self, x):
    x = self.bert(x)
    
    x = x.view(x.shape[0], -1)
    x = self.fc(self.dropout(self.bn(x)))
    return x

but it doesn't work well, and the error is 'MaskedLMOutput' object has no attribute 'view'.
I'm considering the input might not be 'tensor' type, so I change it as below:
def forward(self, x):
        x = torch.tensor(x)     # this part
        x = self.bert(x)
        
        x = x.view(x.shape[0], -1)
        x = self.fc(self.dropout(self.bn(x)))
        return x

but it still gets wrong, same error 'MaskedLMOutput' object has no attribute 'view'.
Could someone tell me how to fix this?  Much thanks.

I think so this should help you solve the error. https://stackoverflow.com/a/72601533/13748930
The output after self.bert(x) is an object of the class MaskedLMOutput.
