Differences
The gradient in PyTorch is a property of the Tensor and can be made to have a gradient by setting requires_grad=True
. Due to the difference of framework mechanism, the gradient and weight are Tensor independent of each other in MindSpore. Therefore, when gradient cropping, MindSpore needs to obtain the gradient Tensor before cropping.
PyTorch: Gradient cropping can be implemented by directly passing in a Tensor with a gradient.
MindSpore: Due to the different framework mechanism, to implement gradient cropping, it is necessary to obtain the gradient first and then cropping the gradient. You can use methods such as mindspore.grad
to obtain the gradient. For details, please refer to gradient derivation.

Differences |
---|---|---|---|---|
Parameters |
Parameter 1 |
parameters |
x |
The gradient mechanism is different. PyTorch can crop the gradient by passing in the Tensor, while MindSpore needs to pass in the gradient Tensor. Please refer to gradient derivation for how to obtain the gradient. |
Parameter 2 |
clip_value |
clip_value_min |
PyTorch cropping range is [-clip_value, clip_value], while MindSpore cropping range is [clip_value_min, clip_value_max] |
|
Parameter 3 |
- |
clip_value_max |
PyTorch cropping range is [-clip_value, clip_value], while MindSpore cropping range is [clip_value_min, clip_value_max] |
Code Example
Due to the different mechanism, MindSpore needs to implement gradient cropping first using mindspore.grad and other method to obtain the gradient, (For more methods to obtain the gradient, please refer to gradient derivation), and then crop the gradient. The example code is as follows.
