TensorFlow placeholder variable for integer or boolean isn't working
<p>I am using the following code snippet in TensorFlow to conditionally pull data from one source or another:</p>

<pre><code>if __name__ == '__main__':



with tf.device("/gpu:0"):

    with tf.Graph().as_default():

        with tf.variable_scope("cifar_conv_model"):

            is_train = tf.placeholder(tf.int32) # placeholder for whether to pull from train or val data
            keep_prob = tf.placeholder(tf.float32) # dropout probability

            x, y = tf.cond(tf.equal(is_train, tf.constant(1, dtype=tf.int32)), distorted_inputs, inputs)

            output = inference(x, keep_prob)

            cost = loss(output, y)

            global_step = tf.Variable(0, name='global_step', trainable=False)

            train_op = training(cost, global_step)

            eval_op = evaluate(output, y)

            summary_op = tf.merge_all_summaries()

            saver = tf.train.Saver()
            summary_writer = tf.train.SummaryWriter("conv_cifar_logs/", graph_def=sess.graph_def)
            init_op = tf.initialize_all_variables()

            sess = tf.Session()

            sess.run(init_op)

            tf.train.start_queue_runners(sess=sess)

            # Training cycle
            for epoch in range(training_epochs):

                avg_cost = 0.
                total_batch = int(cifar10_input.NUM_EXAMPLES_PER_EPOCH_FOR_TRAIN/batch_size)
                # Loop over all batches
                for i in range(total_batch):
                    # Fit training using batch data
                    _, new_cost = sess.run([train_op, cost], feed_dict={is_train: 1, keep_prob: 0.5})
                    # Compute average loss
                    avg_cost += new_cost/total_batch
                    print "Epoch %d, minibatch %d of %d. Average cost = %0.4f." %(epoch, i, total_batch, avg_cost)

<p>I keep obtaining error vomit as threads spazz out, but the recurring theme is the following error:</p>

<pre><code>InvalidArgumentError: You must feed a value for placeholder tensor 'cifar_conv_model/Placeholder' with dtype int32

<p>Any help would very much be appreciated!</p>
