@we11as22 @hhaAndroid I am facing the same issue, when training Mask2Former with --amp. And I have found a solution here huggingface/transformers#21644. As it proposed, this is caused by how scipy.optimize.linear_sum_assignment handles infinite values. Replacing these with very large numbers seems to fix the issue. And I added the following code before line 125.

cost = torch.minimum(cost, torch.tensor(1e10))
cost = torch.maximum(cost, torch.tensor(-1e10))

But when trying to train with amp again, I encountered the NaN mask loss problem as follows:

Further debugging revealed issues in the calculation of loss_mask in this line. In amp mode, multiplying the FP16 variable num_total_masks by a large integer variable self.num_points (it is 12544 in my configs)results in an overflowed FP16 variable, further leading to the occurrence of NaN mask loss. By casting num_total_masks to the fp32 type with avg_factor=num_total_masks.float() * self.num_points, I managed to eliminate this issue. The model can now be successfully trained in amp mode, but the accuracy is still under validation 😂 . Hope this is helpful to you！
