<p>Error clip is widely used in model training to prevent gradient exploding. It takes some specific rules to adjust variables&#8217; gradients and prevent them from being too large. With it, values of a gradient will be checked before they are taken by the next <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">grad_op</span></code> and be shrunk if necessary.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<span id="usage"></span><h2>Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Users are allowed to assign different error clip methods or attributes to different <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Variable</span></code>s. Users can specify it as a parameter of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Variable</span></code>&#8216;s constructor:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">var</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">framework</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">Variable</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="o">...</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">error_clip</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">myErrorClip</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="o">...</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The default value of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">error_clip</span></code> is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">None</span></code>, which means no error clip is employed. When it&#8217;s not <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">None</span></code>, it should take an object of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BaseErrorClipAttr</span></code>&#8216;s derived class. So far, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BaseErrorClipAttr</span></code> has only one derived class: <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ErrorClipByValue</span></code>, whose constructor is:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">ErrorClipByValue</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">max</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nb">min</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="bp">None</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">max</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">min</span></code> represent the maximal and minimal clip threshold respectively. In backward pass, all values of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">var</span></code>&#8216;s gradient greater than <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">max</span></code> or less than <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">min</span></code> will be clipped to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">max</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">min</span></code> respectively. When the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">min</span></code> is None, the minimal threshold will be assigned with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-max</span></code> automatically.</p>
<p>So we can enable the error clip with threshold <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[-5.0,</span> <span class="pre">5.0]</span></code> for variable <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">var</span></code> by:</p>

<p>This function is used to create a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">clip_op</span></code> and append it to the end of given <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">block</span></code>.

<p>Here we employ a callback function to complete this kind of jobs. In <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">_append_backward_ops_</span></code> function, each time after a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">grad_op</span></code> is added to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">target_block</span></code>, a callback function is invoked. The logic of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">clip_op</span></code> appending can be implemented inside the callback function.</p>
<p>The callback function for <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">clip_op</span></code> appending is defined in <em>clip.py</em>:</p>

<p>This function takes a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">block</span></code> and a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">context</span></code>(which is actually a grad_to_var map) as inputs. It checks each output of the last <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDesc</span></code> in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">block</span></code>. Notice that the last <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpDesc</span></code> of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">block</span></code> must be a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">grad_op</span></code> and its outputs must be some forward variables&#8217; gradients. If an output gradient&#8217;s corresponding forward variable has an attribute of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">error_clip</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">error_clip_callback</span></code> will call the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">error_clip</span></code>&#8216;s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">append_clip_op</span></code> function to append the required <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">clip_op</span></code> into the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">block</span></code>.</p>
