Gradient calculation of the pre-trained model
I have pre-trained tensorflow model in a graph format. I have not used tf.gradient on the graph structure.
In such cases, is there any way to calculate the gradient of some tensors operation?

Gradients vanishing despite using Kaiming initialization
I was implementing a conv block in pytorch with activation function(prelu). I used Kaiming initilization to initialize all my weights and set all the bias to zero. However as I tested these blocks (by ...

Why does my manual derivative of Layer Normalization imply no gradient flow?
I recently tried computing the derivative of the layer norm function (https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.06450), an essential component of transformers, but the result suggests that no gradient flows through ...

How can my loss be stable while the gradient keeps growing?
I have been working on an Offline/Batch Reinforcement Learning problem where I am using a BCQ-DDQN model as a Q-table. The model input is a state of 8 dimensions, and the output is a vector of Q-...

Why a sign of gradient (plus or minus) is not enough for finding a steepest ascend?
Consider a simple 1-D function $y = x^2$ to find a maximum with the gradient ascent method.
If we start in point 3 on x-axis:
$$ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} \...

Gradient passthough in PyTorch
I need to quantize the inputs, but the method (bucketize) I need to do so is indifferentiable. I can of course detach the tensor, but then I lose the flow of gradients to earlier weights. I guess ...

Why do we do small number of iterations per epoch and large number of epochs rather than one epoch iterate on entire batch until small gradient?
Why do we do many epochs and one iteration per epoch rather than one epoch and iterate while gradient is not within tolerance in Keras deep learning or by default?
