RuntimeError: Error(s) in loading state_dict for ResNet:
I am loading my model using the following code.

def load_model(checkpoint_path):
  '''
  Function that loads a checkpoint and rebuilds the model
  '''

  checkpoint = torch.load(checkpoint_path, map_location = 'cpu')

  if checkpoint['architecture'] == 'resnet18':
    model = models.resnet18(pretrained=True)

  # Freezing the parameters
    for param in model.parameters():
        param.requires_grad = False


  else:
    print('Wrong Architecture!')
    return None

  model.class_to_idx = checkpoint['class_to_idx']

  classifier = nn.Sequential(OrderedDict([
                            ('fc1', nn.Linear(512, 1024)),
                            ('relu1', nn.ReLU()),
                            ('dropout', nn.Dropout(0.2)),
                            ('fc2', nn.Linear(1024, 102))
                            ]))


  model.fc = classifier

  model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['state_dict'])

  return model


And while running

# Load your model to this variable
model = load_model('checkpoint.pt')


I get the following error,


  RuntimeError                              Traceback (most recent call

I was using Pytorch 0.4.1 but Jupyter Notebook which I loaded uses 0.4.0. So I added strict=False attribute to load_state_dict().
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['state_dict'], strict=False)
