TensorFlow: TypeError: Using a `tf.Tensor` as a Python `bool` is not allowed

I'm trying to define a triplet loss using descriptor from a CNN's output, but this error showed up when I try to train the network.

My definition of loss function:

def compute_loss(descriptor, margin):
    diff_pos = descriptor[0:1800:3] - descriptor[1:1800:3]
    diff_neg = descriptor[0:1800:3] - descriptor[2:1800:3]
    Ltriplet = np.maximum(0, 1 - tf.square(diff_neg)/(tf.square(diff_pos) + margin))
    Lpair = tf.square(diff_pos)

    Loss = Ltriplet + Lpair

    return Loss

here descriptor is the outcome of CNN, the income of CNN is a set of triplets containing anchor, puller and pusher exactly in this order. As input I packed 600 triplet together and feed them into the CNN.

Then I got this error when training the network:

TypeError: Using a `tf.Tensor` as a Python `bool` is not allowed. Use `if t is not None:` instead of `if t:` to test if a tensor is defined, and use TensorFlow ops such as tf.cond to execute subgraphs conditioned on the value of a tensor.

Process finished with exit code 1

Where goes wrong?

You are mixing numpy and tensorflow operations. Tensorflow accepts numpy arrays normally (their value is known statically, hence can be converted to a constant), but not vice versa (tensor value is known only when the session is run, except eager evaluation).

The solution: change np.maximum to tf.maximum.
