Error when running using command TypeError: Unknown parameter type: <class 'theano.tensor.var.TensorVariable'>

I am getting this error when running the following code on colab

!nlg-eval --hypothesis=outputs/x_NLMCXR_ClsGenInt_DenseNet121_MaxView2_NumLabel114_History_Hyp.txt --references=outputs/x_NLMCXR_ClsGenInt_DenseNet121_MaxView2_NumLabel114_History_Ref.txt

Can you share some details about your environment? Output of pip freeze would help.

Managed to solve it
Thank you

[juharris]

Oh good. Someone else is having a similar issue, can you share how you resolved it?

Sorry, but I don't really remember :(
It was like a week ago
