<p>Replace with <code>self.relu = nn.ReLU(inplace=False)</code></p>

ZSheikhb: <p><a class="mention" href="/u/alphabetagamma96">@AlphaBetaGamma96</a> I tried your suggestion before and I got the same error.</p>

</aside>
<p>if you have removed all <code>inplace=True</code> then check if <code>F.interpolate</code> has a backward function. It seems it calls <code>relu_</code> (which is inplace by default) internally which may be the probelm</p>
