What transformation do I need to do in order to run dataset through neural network?
I'm new to deep learning and Pytorch, but I hope someone can help me out with this. My dataset contains images from different sizes. I'm trying to create a simple neural network that can classify images. However, I'm getting mismatch errors.

Neural network

class Net(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Net, self).__init__()
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 32, 3)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(32, 32, 3)
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(32 * 3 * 3, 200)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(200, 120)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = F.relu(self.conv1(x))
        x = F.relu(self.conv2(x))
        x = F.relu(self.fc1(x))
        x = self.fc2(x)
        return x
net = Net()


My first convolution layer has 1 input channel, because I transform the images to grayscale images. 32 output channels was an arbitrary decision. The final fully-connected layer has 120 output channels, because there are 120 different classes.

Determine transformations and assign training set and validation set

transform = transforms.Compose(
    [transforms.Grayscale(1),
     transforms.RandomCrop((32,32)),
     transforms.ToTensor(),
     transforms.Normalize((0.5, 0.5, 0.5), (0.5, 0.5, 0.5))])

data_dir = 'dataset'
full_dataset = datasets.ImageFolder(os.path.join(data_dir, 'train'), transform = transform)

train_size = int(0.8 * len(full_dataset))
val_size = len(full_dataset) - train_size
trainset, valset = torch.utils.data.random_split(full_dataset, [train_size, val_size])

trainloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(trainset, batch_size=4,
                                           shuffle=True, num_workers=2)
valloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(valset, batch_size=4,
                                           shuffle=False, num_workers=2)
classes = full_dataset.classes


I transform the images to grayscale, because they are gray anyway. I crop the images to 32, because the images have different sizes and I figured that they must all be the same size when putting it through the neural network. Everything is working fine so far.

Train neural network

for epoch in range(2):  # loop over the dataset multiple times

    running_loss = 0.0
    for i, data in enumerate(trainloader, 0):
        # get the inputs
        inputs, labels = data

        # zero the parameter gradients
        optimizer.zero_grad()

        # forward + backward + optimize
        outputs = net(inputs)
        loss = criterion(outputs, labels)
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()

        # print statistics
        running_loss += loss.item()
        if i % 2000 == 1999:    # print every 2000 mini-batches
            print('[%d, %5d] loss: %.3f' %
                  (epoch + 1, i + 1, running_loss / 2000))
            running_loss = 0.0

print('Finished Training')


When running this last piece of code, I get the following error: size mismatch, m1: [3584 x 28], m2: [288 x 200] at /Users/soumith/miniconda2/conda-bld/pytorch_1532623076075/work/aten/src/TH/generic/THTensorMath.cpp:2070 when the following line is being executed: outputs = net(inputs)

My code is a variation of the code provided in this Pytorch tutorial. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

UPDATE

I updated the neural network class to this:

class Net(nn.Module):

    def __init__(self):
        super(Net, self).__init__()
        # 1 input image channel, 6 output channels, 5x5 square convolution
        # kernel
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 6, 5)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(6, 16, 5)
        # an affine operation: y = Wx + b
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(16 * 5 * 5, 120)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(120, 84)
        self.fc3 = nn.Linear(84, 10)

    def forward(self, x):
        # Max pooling over a (2, 2) window
        x = F.max_pool2d(F.relu(self.conv1(x)), (2, 2))
        # If the size is a square you can only specify a single number
        x = F.max_pool2d(F.relu(self.conv2(x)), 2)
        x = x.view(-1, self.num_flat_features(x))
        x = F.relu(self.fc1(x))
        x = F.relu(self.fc2(x))
        x = self.fc3(x)
        return x

    def num_flat_features(self, x):
        size = x.size()[1:]  # all dimensions except the batch dimension
        num_features = 1
        for s in size:
            num_features *= s
        return num_features

net = Net()


But now I get an error at loss = criterion(outputs, labels): 
Assertion cur_target &gt;= 0 &amp;&amp; cur_target &lt; n_classes' failed.  at /Users/soumith/miniconda2/conda-bld/pytorch_1532623076075/work/aten/src/THNN/generic/ClassNLLCriterion.c:93

In your first configuration, you have configured self.fc1 incorrectly. You need the input to be of dimensions 32 * 28 * 28 instead of 32 * 3 * 3 as your images are 32 * 32 and kernel and stride are 3 and 1 respectively. See this video for a simpler explanation. Try adjusting your second configuration yourself now, if you can't, comment below.
