<p>Do you know how to solve this problem?</p>

username: albanD
cooked: <p>The error code points to the custom function in <code>shakedrop.py</code>.<br>
It seems that you try to index the saved_tensors but you did you save any Tensor during the forward?</p>

username: Yun_Lee
cooked: <p>oh why I didn’t see that sentence…!<br>
I should see that function first.<br>
thank you for the answer</p>

username: jiasongd
cooked: <p>I have the same problem can you tell me How to modify it???   thank you.</p>
