Description

Assertion `pred_hnd’ failed in MXPredCreate step

Environment info (Required)

mxnet==1.3.1, mxnet-cu90=1.3.1, gluonCV=0.4.0

I have found out that the segment fault happens in code:
g = mxnet::exec::InferShape(std::move(g), std::move(in_shapes), "__shape__");
in MXPredCreatePartialOut function in c_predict_api.cc file, but why?

Hi @eugene,

Unfortunately I’m not too familiar with the C++ API but @leleamol suggested that it’s most likely to do with your input shapes. Are you specifying the input shapes for all the inputs to the model? i.e. for both the input images and the true label (if this is an image classification problem). And are they the correct shapes?

I have meet a similar error. It is fail to initialize the pred_hnd by MXPredCreate funcion.
