Hi author, I'm getting the following when training branchformer using summary_mixing

Why is this

Hello there, we would need much more information about what the model/trainer/data/task is to give you an answer. SummaryMixing does not, in itself, induce more instability during training than MHSA. With more information on the code, we could try to help.

I tried to print the output of summary_mixing and the tensor shows that there is Nan, what is the reason for this

Hi, we need much more information to help you here I am afraid. This could be due to many reasons that are all most likely not connected to SummaryMixing. Please describe your setup.

Hi, when I print the encoder input when trying to use summing_mixing I find nan in it, but when I make RelPositionMultiHeadedAttention the input has no nan. This is my configuration environment, the exact model configuration and the encoder structure is in the zip.

Hello,

I've had a quick look at your code, but I am way too unfamiliar with this codebase to make any meaningful comment. My only comment would be that we never encountered any NaN issue with summarymixing so it might not be plugged-in properly (be careful with the masking for instance).
