Hello.
I am writing here to ask a question about the program.
I have read your article on Pointer Networks with Transformers.
It is very interesting as it combines pointer network and Transformer.
I actually ran the Google colab you linked to, but I got a ValueError: Inconsistent coordinate dimensionality when training.
How can I run it?

Hi there, thank you for your interest in my article. Do you think it could be related to this question? The error message sounds familiar.

In either case, I believe it should be fixed now. Please give it a try and let me know if you still encounter issues.

As you said, it was fixed.
Thank you very much!

Happy to help!
