Following parts 1 and 2 of https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/wiki/Autograd-Onboarding-Lab NOTE: Do NOT merge this diff! Learnings: - When deriving the backwards function analytically, it's easiest to break the forward function out step-by-step and compute the gradient by applying the chain rule - grad_a shows that we must be careful in considering both the local gradient and upstream gradient contributions - gradcheck and gradgradcheck are clever ways of validating the analytical solution using numerical/computational methods - Generally, how to write a test and operator Testing: Run `python3 test/test_autograd_lab.py`
TSIA. Part 3 of onboarding lab https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/wiki/Autograd-Onboarding-Lab#iii-write-native-composite-function-and-opinfo Learnings: - Using -k option to run only a subset of tests! This can save a lot of time - Components of a native function include 1) registration within `native_functions.yaml`, 2) implementation via .cpp and .h, 3) OpInfo registration within `common_methods_invocations.py` - In cpp, make sure to import any functions that are needed within the `at` namespace. - Native operators added can be accessed via `torch.ops.aten.operator_name`. Tensors resulting from these operators will store a pointer to the backwards function Testing: Run `python3 test/test_ops.py -k attention`, `python3 test/test_autograd_lab.py`
…entation TSIA. Following part 4 of onboarding lab https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/wiki/Autograd-Onboarding-Lab Learnings: - Gradient expressions in `derivatives.yaml` are essentially templates for c++ code, with pre-defined variables for accessing forward results and their gradients - Consequently, you can create custom functions to call within `derivatives.yaml` by adding them to `FunctionsManual.cpp` - You should specify a gradient expression for each of your differentiable outputs! - If you have multiple differentiable outputs, make sure to specify that in `derivatives.yaml` using `output_differentiability`! - Make sure in `native_functions.yaml` to update the corresponding entry's `dispatch`, specifying `CompositeExplicitAutograd` pointing to the backwards function you defined in `derivatives.yaml` - Tensors can be undefined! If you're uncertain about whether a tensor will be defined or not, make sure to check `tensor.defined()`! Otherwise, avoid operating using the tensor (ex. an output may not be used in the loss function, there for there is no gradient computed for it) NOTE: `test_fake_autocast` kept failing on my code. I've elected to skip this since I don't have enough personal time to dedicate towards debugging how this test works & why it is failing. Testing: Run `python3 test/test_ops.py -k attention`, `python3 test/test_autograd_lab.py`

Attention! native_functions.yaml was changedIf you are adding a new function or defaulted argument to native_functions.yaml, you cannot use it from pre-existing Python frontend code until our FC window passes (two weeks). Split your PR into two PRs, one which adds the new C++ functionality, and one that makes use of it from Python, and land them two weeks apart. See https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/wiki/PyTorch's-Python-Frontend-Backward-and-Forward-Compatibility-Policy#forwards-compatibility-fc for more info. Caused by: |

Hi! I'm interested in learning more about the internals of Pytorch & becoming a contributor to the project. As part of this, I've been following along with Core Frontend Onboarding. This branch contains my implementation of the Autograd Onboarding Lab.
For the maintainers of Pytorch, PTAL! No urgency in reviewing this stack of diffs, but would appreciate feedback if you're able to!
