Topaz Train class 'NoneType'

Particle Picking
1

I am trying to train topaz and my inputs are a small subset of manually picked particles and my pre-processed micrographs. The job is failing with the below error and I am having some trouble figuring it out. I was also wondering if anyone had a good tutorial using Topaz with cryoSPARC? Thanks

Thanks for your first post on this forum @PappyG.
Please can you provide additional details:

  1. What information preceded the Traceback?
  2. What command did you use to install conda? Did you try (details)
    conda create -n topaz python=3.6
conda activate topaz
conda install topaz -c tbepler -c pytorch
    I am not sure whether it matters or not that the commands are run on a computer with the nvidia driver and gpu installed.
  3. Did you use a wrapper script and point the Path to Topaz executable to it?
  4. Does the command
    /path/to/topaz_wrapper.sh --version
    print
    TOPAZ 0.2.5a
    to the screen?
