PNN adapter arguement missing in the _init_() method

[sudaksh14]

There is some issue with the class LinearAdapter for PNN models in PNN.py The variable self.num_prev_modules is not initialized anywhere, see below code snippet.

[sudaksh14]

The below is the src code for class LinearAdapter in PNN.py module:

class LinearAdapter(nn.Module):
    """
    Linear adapter for Progressive Neural Networks.
    """

    def __init__(self, in_features, out_features_per_column, num_prev_modules):
        """
        :param in_features: size of each input sample
        :param out_features_per_column: size of each output sample
        :param num_prev_modules: number of previous modules
        """
        super().__init__()
        # Eq. 1 - lateral connections
        # one layer for each previous column. Empty for the first task.
        self.lat_layers = nn.ModuleList([])
        for _ in range(num_prev_modules):
            m = nn.Linear(in_features, out_features_per_column)
            self.lat_layers.append(m)

    def forward(self, x):
        assert len(x) == self.num_prev_modules
        hs = []
        for ii, lat in enumerate(self.lat_layers):
            hs.append(lat(x[ii]))
        return sum(hs)

I get an error when I select my adapter="linear" as follow:

This is because the init method does not initialize the variable self.num_prev_modules, could you please check this.

Thanks!
