Hi!
I tried the example and felt very cool!
But when I trained my model, an error occurred in batch = [1501/20695].
The content is as follows:

---

Using 165560 datapoints (41390 batches) (MS COCO images) for transformer network training.
Learning the style of guanyu.png style image.

I did not find a solution on Google.
Is there any way to make it work?
I am looking forward to the effect after training!
Thank you!

you ever figure this out? having the exact same issue. it's an issue with git pretty sure, not the nst script

[slyman928]

git clone https://github.com/gordicaleksa/pytorch-neural-style-transfer-johnson

and then follow the setup, should work

I can confirm that cloning the repo first eliminates this error.

Originally I had just put the files from the repo into the working directory manually and I too got the above error when I tried to train the network.
