getting the error "mat1 and mat2 shapes cannot be multiplied (1x800 and 2x5)" in chapter 2 neural network classification.

while making predictions with test samples of x as done in the chapter 02 neural networks classification. I'm getting the error,"mat1 and mat2 shapes cannot be multiplied (1x800 and 2x5)".

Can you share the previous code which will help us to find the error

Hi @RohanDebnath24 ,

This kind of error is known as a "shape error" and is one of the more common errors in deep learning.

It means there's a shape mismatch between some of your tensors in the previous code.

I'd step back through your values and print out their shapes to see where the potential shape error occurs.

Some helpful resources for shape errors:

• Shape Errors in PyTorch
• Matrix multiplication in PyTorch (this is often the source of different shape errors and is what's happening with your error, two matrices can't be multiplied)
