warning: Embedding dir exists, did you set global_step for add_embedding()?

[massisenergy]

I was doing the pytorch tensor board tutorial. While running the pytorch_tensorboard_.py notebook file, I get this:

warning: Embedding dir exists, did you set global_step for add_embedding()?

Somebody else also faced this (might be in a different case). I don't understand the cause & effect of this, any help?

Thanks in advance!

This warning indicates that the embedding directory already exists.

To avoid it you can set the global_step parameter in the add_embedding method to ensure that each embedding is logged with a unique step.

For example:

writer.add_embedding(features,
                    metadata=class_labels,
                    label_img=labels,
                    global_step=0)
