Why is loss a negative number?

This is my dataset.py: ` import os import os.path as osp from config import cfg from runx.logx import logx from datasets.base_loader import BaseLoader from datasets.utils import make_dataset_folder from datasets import uniform

I also encountered the same problem. It seems that when gt has only one value, the RMI loss function calculates a negative value.
