i run my code but i keep getting the following error message:

Any help?

The stack trace and error message says that the "self.enc_layers() function in your Encoder() “call” method is missing the “mask” argument.

To verify this, look at the call method in the EncoderLayer() class. That tells you the parameters that you need to pass from self.enc_layers().

In the definition of the self.enc_layers below is the square brackets […] supposed to be there?

self.enc_layers = [EncoderLayer(embedding_dim=self.embedding_dim,
num_heads=num_heads,
fully_connected_dim=fully_connected_dim,
dropout_rate=dropout_rate,
layernorm_eps=layernorm_eps)
for _ in range(self.num_layers)]

whenever i call self.enc_layers it says it is uncallable due to the square brackets […]

typeerror: ‘listwrapper’ object is not callable

Hello @gillynatter, the problem you are having is that you are trying to call the complete list for each loop, as the error indicates.
You may have noticed that self.enc_layers is actually a list of Encoder layers, and you are calling it for each value of i. What you want is to call the layers one by one. As a hint you can use the i index from the for loop.
Hope that helps!

That helped. I solved this problem. Thanks!

Hey, I am facing the same error. How did you resolve it?
