        retain_graph (bool, optional): whether to retain the forward graph which 
            is used to calculate the gradient. When it is True, the graph would 
            be retained, in which way users can calculate backward twice for the 
            same graph. When it is False, the graph would be freed. Default None,
            which means it is equal to `create_graph` . 
        create_graph (bool, optional): whether to create the gradient graphs of
            the computing process. When it is True, higher order derivatives are
            supported to compute; when it is False, the gradient graphs of the
            computing process would be discarded. Default False.
        only_inputs (bool, optional): whether to only compute the gradients of
            `inputs` . If it is False, the gradients of all remaining leaf 
430
            Tensors in the graph would be also computed and accumulated.

            Default True. only_inputs=False is under development, and it is
            not supported yet.    
        allow_unused (bool, optional): whether to raise error or return None if some 
435
            Tensors of `inputs` are unreachable in the graph. If some Tensors of

436 437 438
            `inputs` are unreachable in the graph (i.e., their gradients are None),  
            error would be raised if allow_unused=False, or None would be returned as
            their gradients if allow_unused=True. Default False.
439 440
        no_grad_vars (Tensor|list(Tensor)|tuple(Tensor)|set(Tensor), optional): 
            the Tensors whose gradients are not needed to compute. Default None.

    Returns:
