I'm using to initialize the weights : 

def weights_init(m):
    m.weight.data.normal_(0.0, 1)


But following error is thrown : 

~/anaconda3/envs/pytorch/lib/python3.7/site-packages/torch/nn/modules/module.py in __getattr__(self, name)
    533                 return modules[name]
    534         raise AttributeError("'{}' object has no attribute '{}'".format(
--&gt; 535             type(self).__name__, name))
    536 
    537     def __setattr__(self, name, value):

AttributeError: 'ReLU' object has no attribute 'weight'


Is this the correct method to initialize the weights ?

Also, should object be of type nn.Module , not Relu ? 

You are trying to set the weights of a weight-free layer (ReLU).

Inside weights_init, you should check the type of layers before initializing weights. For instance:

def weights_init(m):
    if type(m) == nn.Linear:
        m.weight.data.normal_(0.0, 1)


See How to initialize weights in PyTorch?.
