比较与tf.gradients的功能差异

tf.gradients

tf.gradients(
    ys,
    xs,
    grad_ys=None,
    name='gradients',
    colocate_gradients_with_ops=False,
    gate_gradients=False,
    aggregation_method=None,
    stop_gradients=None,
    unconnected_gradients=tf.UnconnectedGradients.NONE
)

mindspore.grad

mindspore.grad(
  fn,
  grad_position=0,
  weights=None,
  hax_aux=False
)

更多内容详见mindspore.grad

使用方式

TensorFlow:计算ys关于xs的梯度,返回一个与xs长度相同的列表。

MindSpore:计算梯度,当grad_position设置为int或者tuple int类型,将会计算对应输入位置的梯度。如果设置了weights, 将会计算网络的变量的参数。当has_aux设置为True时, 只有fn的第一个输出参与梯度计算, 此时fn至少具备两个输出。

代码示例

# In MindSpore:
import numpy as np
import mindspore.nn as nn
import mindspore as ms
from mindspore import ops

class Net(nn.Cell):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Net, self).__init__()
        self.matmul = ops.MatMul()
        self.z = ms.Parameter(ms.Tensor(np.array([1.0], np.float32)), name='z')
    def construct(self, x, y):
        x = x * self.z
        out = self.matmul(x, y)
        return out

class GradNetWrtX(nn.Cell):
    def __init__(self, net):
        super(GradNetWrtX, self).__init__()
        self.net = net
    def construct(self, x, y):
        gradient_function = ms.grad(self.net)
        return gradient_function(x, y)

x = ms.Tensor([[0.5, 0.6, 0.4], [1.2, 1.3, 1.1]], dtype=ms.float32)
y = ms.Tensor([[0.01, 0.3, 1.1], [0.1, 0.2, 1.3], [2.1, 1.2, 3.3]], dtype=ms.float32)
output = GradNetWrtX(Net())(x, y)
print(output)
# Out:
# [[1.4100001 1.5999999 6.6      ]
#  [1.4100001 1.5999999 6.6      ]]

z1 = w1 + w2+ w3
z2 = w3 + w4
grads = tf.gradients([z1, z2], [w1, w2, w3, w4], grad_ys=[tf.convert_to_tensor([2.,2.,3.]),
                                                          tf.convert_to_tensor([3.,2.,4.])])

    tf.global_variables_initializer().run()
    print(sess.run(grads))
