Hello,

I am learning to use semi supervised VAE on a tabular data. I tried the python code provided in “Generative models” section in below link

[https://www.stratascratch.com/blog/semi-supervised-learning-techniques-and-examples/#generative\_models](https://www.stratascratch.com/blog/semi-supervised-learning-techniques-and-examples/#generative_models)

I get error message for calculating KL loss? Can someone help understand the error message.

Thank you,  
Poorva

I suggest you post a screen capture image of the error message. Maybe someone will recognize it and have a suggestion.
