Resolving the RuntimeError: all elements of input should be between 0 and 1 in PyTorch RNN Models

If you are building deep learning models using PyTorch, encountering runtime errors can be frustrating. One common issue is the RuntimeError: all elements of input should be between 0 and 1, particularly when using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) with BiLSTM layers. In this guide, we'll break down the cause of this error and provide a clear solution to help you streamline your work with protein embeddings.

Understanding the Problem

When working with Binary Cross-Entropy (BCE) loss in PyTorch, the model's predictions must be constrained between 0 and 1. This requirement arises because BCE loss computes the difference between the predicted probabilities and the ground truth labels in a binary classification task. If the model's output does not comply with this constraint, PyTorch throws a runtime error.

With RNNs, especially those that employ a combination of LSTMs and feed-forward layers, such misconfigurations can easily occur if intermediary outputs are not properly processed.

Here’s a breakdown of what you're dealing with:

Input: The values entered into your model.

Output: The predicted results from your model (should be between 0 and 1 for BCE loss).

Runtime Error: Occurs if your output layer doesn't use appropriate activation functions.

Key Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Change to CrossEntropyLoss

Instead of using Binary Cross-Entropy Loss if your model outputs logits directly, consider using BinaryCrossEntropyWithLogits. This can help with numerical stability and allows you to skip applying the sigmoid activation function yourself.

2. Modify the Forward Method

Ensure your model's forward method is structured correctly. Currently, your forward function outputs the result using the input x, neglecting the outputs from the LSTM. Here's an updated version of the method:

3. Ensure Proper Activation Functions

Incorporate the sigmoid activation function only when needed. If you are using BCEWithLogitsLoss, the final output should not include the sigmoid function since it’s already embedded within the loss calculation.

4. Debugging

It's a good practice to add print statements or debugging breakpoints in critical areas of your model to ensure the shapes and values of your tensors are as expected. This can give you insights into the intermediary steps of your model and avoid future runtime issues.

Example of Debugging Output

Consider adding the following in your forward method:

By tracking these outputs, you can confirm that the LSTM layer produced valid data, which is important for your predictions and loss computation.

Conclusion

By ensuring that your model outputs are correctly configured between 0 and 1 in compliance with the Binary Cross-Entropy loss requirements, you can resolve the runtime errors that often hinder development. Implementing the suggested adjustments to both the loss function and the model structure can make a significant difference. As always, debugging your model and understanding where the data flows can lead to a more robust and error-free implementation.
