Colab notebook fails to run: PytorchVersionError

[matthiasgeihs]

Cell 4 of the Colab notebook hello_torch_dreams fails to run on the current default Colab environment.
The error is:

PytorchVersionError: Expected pytorch to have version 1.8.x or higher but got: 2.0.1+cu118

Hi @matthiasgeihs, thanks for pointing out this issue. I will fix it ASAP and roll out a new version.
It might also contain some other interface changes, about which I will inform you after the update has been released.

Hi @matthiasgeihs. I have fixed the error you were facing.
You can install the latest dev version of torch-dreams with this command:

pip install git+https://github.com/Mayukhdeb/torch-dreams

Please note that I've also been working on a new upgrade to torch-dreams which involves batched image parameters. Hence there is a small interface change that you have to make on your custom objectives:

I have also updated the colab notebook to use the dev version for now. So it should run through without any problems.

Great, thanks for taking a look. Will try that out when I find some time. 🙏

[matthiasgeihs]

OK, this works now. 👍

@Mayukhdeb
What would be very helpful for someone like me who is not already familiar with the method:
Have some explanations between the commands in the notebook, what exactly is happening there.

I got aware of the project as I was interested in explainable AI, but what I currently see is just some nice looking pictures being produced. I have a very rough idea of what might be happening under the hood, but tbh I don't understand much at the moment. What is the minimal example exactly demonstrating? I think a few high-level comments would really help! 🙂

That being said, the issue seems solved.

Thank you for the feedback @matthiasgeihs! I will try to improve the readme to include explanations for what each snippet is doing. This is a good idea 🙂
