Pytorch RuntimeError: Expected tensor for argument #1 'indices' to have scalar type Long; but got CUDAType instead
I am trying to re-execute a GitHub project on my computer for recommendation using embedding, the goal is to first embed the user and item present in the movieLens dataset, and then use the inner product to predict a rating, when I finished the integration of all components, I got an error in the training.

Code:

movielens = fetch_movielens()
ratings_train, ratings_test = movielens['train'], movielens['test']

    dataset = dataset.copy()

    dataset.data = (dataset.data &gt;= 0.0).astype(np.float32)
    dataset = dataset.tocsr()
    dataset.eliminate_zeros()

    return dataset.tocoo()
train, test = _binarize(movielens['train']), _binarize(movielens['test'])

can anyone help me please ?

I would suggest you to check the input type
I had the same issue which solved by converting the input type from  int32 to int64.(running on win10)
ex:

x = torch.tensor(train).to(torch.int64)
