r"""Check gradients computed via small finite differences against analytical
gradients wrt tensors in :attr:`inputs` that are of floating point or complex type
and with ``requires_grad=True``.
The check between numerical and analytical gradients uses :func:`~torch.allclose`.
For most of the complex functions we consider for optimization purposes, no notion of
Jacobian exists. Instead, gradcheck verifies if the numerical and analytical values of
the Wirtinger and Conjugate Wirtinger derivatives are consistent. Because the gradient
computation is done under the assumption that the overall function has a real-valued
output, we treat functions with complex output in a special way. For these functions,
gradcheck is applied to two real-valued functions corresponding to taking the real
components of the complex outputs for the first, and taking the imaginary components
of the complex outputs for the second. For more details, check out
:ref:`complex_autograd-doc`.
.. note::
The default values are designed for :attr:`input` of double precision.
This check will likely fail if :attr:`input` is of less precision, e.g.,
``FloatTensor``.
.. note::
Gradcheck may fail when evaluated on non-differentiable points
because the numerically computed gradients via finite differencing may differ
those computed analytically (not necessarily because either is incorrect).
For more context, see :ref:`non-differentiable-func-grad`.
.. warning::
If any checked tensor in :attr:`input` has overlapping memory, i.e.,
different indices pointing to the same memory address (e.g., from
:func:`torch.expand`), this check will likely fail because the numerical
gradients computed by point perturbation at such indices will change
values at all other indices that share the same memory address.
Args:
func (function): a Python function that takes Tensor inputs and returns
a Tensor or a tuple of Tensors
inputs (tuple of Tensor or Tensor): inputs to the function
eps (float, optional): perturbation for finite differences
atol (float, optional): absolute tolerance
rtol (float, optional): relative tolerance
raise_exception (bool, optional): indicating whether to raise an exception if
the check fails. The exception gives more information about the
exact nature of the failure. This is helpful when debugging gradchecks.
nondet_tol (float, optional): tolerance for non-determinism. When running
identical inputs through the differentiation, the results must either match
exactly (default, 0.0) or be within this tolerance.
check_undefined_grad (bool, optional): if ``True``, check if undefined output grads
are supported and treated as zeros, for ``Tensor`` outputs.
check_batched_grad (bool, optional): if ``True``, check if we can compute
batched gradients using prototype vmap support. Defaults to False.
check_batched_forward_grad (bool, optional): if ``True``, checks if we can compute
batched forward gradients using forward ad and prototype vmap support. Defaults to ``False``.
check_forward_ad (bool, optional): if ``True``, check that the gradients computed with forward
mode AD match the numerical ones. Defaults to ``False``.
check_backward_ad (bool, optional): if ``False``, do not perform any checks that rely on
backward mode AD to be implemented. Defaults to ``True``.
fast_mode (bool, optional): Fast mode for gradcheck and gradgradcheck is currently only
implemented for R to R functions. If none of the inputs and outputs are complex
a faster implementation of gradcheck that no longer computes the entire jacobian
is run; otherwise, we fall back to the slow implementation.
masked (bool, optional): if ``True``, the gradients of unspecified elements of
sparse tensors are ignored. Defaults to ``False``.
Returns:
``True`` if all differences satisfy allclose condition

.. warning::
If any checked tensor in :attr:`input` and :attr:`grad_outputs` has
overlapping memory, i.e., different indices pointing to the same memory
address (e.g., from :func:`torch.expand`), this check will likely fail
because the numerical gradients computed by point perturbation at such
indices will change values at all other indices that share the same
memory address.
Args:
func (function): a Python function that takes Tensor inputs and returns
a Tensor or a tuple of Tensors
inputs (tuple of Tensor or Tensor): inputs to the function
grad_outputs (tuple of Tensor or Tensor, optional): The gradients with
respect to the function's outputs.
eps (float, optional): perturbation for finite differences
atol (float, optional): absolute tolerance
rtol (float, optional): relative tolerance
gen_non_contig_grad_outputs (bool, optional): if :attr:`grad_outputs` is
``None`` and :attr:`gen_non_contig_grad_outputs` is ``True``, the
randomly generated gradient outputs are made to be noncontiguous
raise_exception (bool, optional): indicating whether to raise an exception if
the check fails. The exception gives more information about the
exact nature of the failure. This is helpful when debugging gradchecks.
nondet_tol (float, optional): tolerance for non-determinism. When running
identical inputs through the differentiation, the results must either match
exactly (default, 0.0) or be within this tolerance. Note that a small amount
of nondeterminism in the gradient will lead to larger inaccuracies in
the second derivative.
check_undefined_grad (bool, optional): if True, check if undefined output grads
are supported and treated as zeros
check_batched_grad (bool, optional): if True, check if we can compute
batched gradients using prototype vmap support. Defaults to False.
fast_mode (bool, optional): if True, run a faster implementation of gradgradcheck that
no longer computes the entire jacobian.
masked (bool, optional): if True, the gradients of unspecified elements of
sparse tensors are ignored (default, False).
Returns:
True if all differences satisfy allclose condition
