BucketIterator throws 'Field' object has no attribute 'vocab'

Question

It's not a new question, references I found without any solution working for me first and second. I'm a newbie to PyTorch, facing AttributeError: 'Field' object has no attribute 'vocab' while creating batches of the text data in PyTorch using torchtext.

Following up the book Deep Learning with PyTorch I wrote the same example as explained in the book.

Here's the snippet:

from torchtext import data
from torchtext import datasets
from torchtext.vocab import GloVe

TEXT = data.Field(lower=True, batch_first=True, fix_length=20)
LABEL = data.Field(sequential=False)
train, test = datasets.IMDB.splits(TEXT, LABEL)

print("train.fields:", train.fields)
print()
print(vars(train[0]))  # prints the object



TEXT.build_vocab(train, vectors=GloVe(name="6B", dim=300),
                 max_size=10000, min_freq=10)

# VOCABULARY
# print(TEXT.vocab.freqs)  # freq
# print(TEXT.vocab.vectors)  # vectors
# print(TEXT.vocab.stoi)  # Index

train_iter, test_iter = data.BucketIterator.splits(
    (train, test), batch_size=128, device=-1, shuffle=True, repeat=False)  # -1 for cpu, None for gpu

# Not working (FROM BOOK)
# batch = next(iter(train_iter))

# print(batch.text)
# print()
# print(batch.label)

# This also not working (FROM Second solution)
for i in train_iter:
    print (i.text)
    print (i.label)

Here's the stacktrace:

AttributeError: 'Field' object has no attribute 'vocab'

If not using BucketIterator, what else I can use to get a similar output?

Answer 1

You haven't built the vocab for the LABEL field.

After TEXT.build_vocab(train, ...), run LABEL.build_vocab(train), and the rest will run.
