torch.Tensor.backward — PyTorch 1.10.1 documentation
pytorch.org › generated › torchtorch.Tensor.backward. Tensor.backward(gradient=None, retain_graph=None, create_graph=False, inputs=None)[source] Computes the gradient of current tensor w.r.t. graph leaves. The graph is differentiated using the chain rule. If the tensor is non-scalar (i.e. its data has more than one element) and requires gradient, the function additionally ...
How Pytorch Backward() function works | by Mustafa Alghali ...
mustafaghali11.medium.com › how-pytorch-backwardMar 24, 2019 · the loss term is usually a scalar value obtained by defining loss function (criterion) between the model prediction and and the true label — in a supervised learning problem setting — and usually we call loss.item () to get single python number out of the loss tensor. when we start propagating the gradients backward, we start by computing the derivative of this scalar loss ( L) w.r.t to the direct previous hidden layer ( h) which’s a vector (group of weights) what would be the gradient ...
Tensor's backward questions - autograd - PyTorch Forums
https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/tensors-backward-questions/4154403.04.2019 · during training, I want to create a tensor to save some intermediate variables, like [16, 512], 16 means the length and 512 means hidden size. When I want to get variable from this tensor, like the 1st hidden state, I will create an one-hot mask like [1, 0, 0, …] to do a matrix multiply with this tensor to get the first hidden state saved in the tensor. While at this moment, will the ...
torch.autograd.backward — PyTorch 1.10.1 documentation
pytorch.org › torchtorch.autograd.backward. Computes the sum of gradients of given tensors with respect to graph leaves. The graph is differentiated using the chain rule. If any of tensors are non-scalar (i.e. their data has more than one element) and require gradient, then the Jacobian-vector product would be computed, in this case the function additionally ...
