MATCONVVNET nnloss error 'Index Exceed Matrix Dimension' - neural-network

Question

I have made my own IMDB using a set of 51000 images categorized into 43 different categories of road traffic signs. However, when I want to use my own IMDB to train the alexnet network, I get an error which says: Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
Error in vl_nnloss (line 230)
t = - log(x(ci)) ;
Do you have an idea what I am doing wrong? I have checked through my IMDB, and the images, labels and sets have been appropriately created as specified in my code. Also, the image array is declared as type single and not uint8.
Here is my training code below
function [net, info] = alexnet_train(imdb, expDir)
run(fullfile(fileparts(mfilename('fullpath')), '../../', 'matlab', 'vl_setupnn.m')) ;
% some common options
opts.train.batchSize = 100;
opts.train.numEpochs = 20 ;
opts.train.continue = true ;
opts.train.gpus = [1] ;
opts.train.learningRate = [1e-1*ones(1, 10), 1e-2*ones(1, 5)];
opts.train.weightDecay = 3e-4;
opts.train.momentum = 0.;
opts.train.expDir = expDir;
opts.train.numSubBatches = 1;
% getBatch options
bopts.useGpu = numel(opts.train.gpus) > 0 ;

Answer 1

Your network is not true. Conv1 layer must be [11 11 3 48]. If it doesn't work check again your network. This error occurs due to your network errors.
