Lab 1 Defining a network layer - Assertion error about introtodeeplearning HOT 3 OPEN

Isnt Setseed give you always a constant random number? Everytime I run the block it gives a different value for y which is not same as what it contains in
mdl.lab1.test_custom_dense_layer_output(y).

Can someone explain me what is happening please

Just setting a seed does not guarantee that the weights and biases will be initialized to any specific set of values. It only guarantees that they will be initialized to the same set of values every time you run your code with the same seed.

In your case, it seems that the expected output of mdl.lab1.test_custom_dense_layer_output(y) is based on a specific set of weights and biases that is not being produced by your current weight and bias initialization.

Without knowing how the expected output was calculated, it's difficult to say what you would need to change in your weight and bias initialization to achieve that output. It could be that a different seed was used, or that the weights and biases were initialized using a different method, or even manually set to specific values.

Please see #116 (similar thread) and #118 (solution). Reading these, it seems that this won't be addressed just by updating the collab notebook, mitdeeplearning package also needs to be updated.
