Error when run char_lstm example

[ningyuwhut]

I run the char_lstm example on my mbp. As the computer has no NVIDIA card，so I change the notebook to use cpu(0), the change is at below:

model = mx.model.FeedForward(
ctx=mx.cpu(0),//chang ctx from mx.gpu(0)to mx.cpu(0)
symbol=symbol,
num_epoch=num_epoch,
learning_rate=learning_rate,
momentum=0,
wd=0.0001,
initializer=mx.init.Xavier(factor_type="in", magnitude=2.34))

and when I run the cell, the compiler report errors:

TypeError: only length-1 arrays can be converted to Python scalars

the error arise from the code ： loss += -np.log(max(1e-10, pred[i][int(label[i])]))

so is it caused by the ctx change? please help

[AntonEryomin]

Nope, this error is not about ctx changing. This error is about the size of array, please looking carefully about the size of array.
