        Gradient Merge, also called as Gradient Accumulation,
        is a strategy for large batch training. With this strategy,
        model parameter will not be updated until user-defined steps.
        For each step, the forward network and the backward network
        will run to calculate the gradient of model parameters.
        For every k step, the optimization network will run,
        applying a specific optimization method (such as SGD, Adam)
        to model parameters.

        Examples:
        .. code-block:: python
