Hi,

On running this exact same code, I am getting the feed placeholder error:
InvalidArgumentError (see above for traceback): You must feed a value for placeholder tensor 'phase_train' with dtype booll
Since the value is assigned to the 'phase_train ' placeholder before executing an op, I am not sure what is wrong. Could you please guide.

Hi @ruqayya,

In my side, the code runs without errors. How about check this simpler code?

import tensorflow as tf

bool_ph = tf.placeholder(tf.bool)

def fn1():
    return tf.add(x, 1)
def fn2():
    return tf.add(x, 10)
    
x = tf.Variable(10, tf.int32)
out = tf.cond(bool_ph, fn1, fn2)

init = tf.global_variables_initializer()
sess = tf.InteractiveSession()
sess.run(init)

x_1 = sess.run(out, feed_dict={bool_ph: True})
x_2 = sess.run(out, feed_dict={bool_ph: False})

print('x_1 = ', x_1)    # 11
print('x_2 = ', x_2)    # 20

Hi @duducheng,
If L44 is modified to:

return batch_mean, batch_var

the update for moving mean and moving variance will not triggered, 'cause there is no operator inside with tf.control_dependencies([ema_apply_op]): . tf.identity may be a good choice except for that it will cost extra memory space.
