Exclude a variable from a change through a computation

[JanoschMenke]

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. It worked! yey.

However, I dont understand why.

In this post
the difference between clone and detach is explained as follows:

Clone and detach in v0.4.0

We’ll provide a migration guide when 0.4.0 is officially released. Here are the answers to your questions: tensor.detach() creates a tensor that shares storage with tensor that does not require grad. tensor.clone()creates a copy of tensor that imitates the original tensor's requires_grad field. You should use detach() when attempting to remove a tensor from a computation graph, and clone as a way to copy the tensor while still keeping the copy as a part of the computation graph it came from. …

Maybe I am confusing the computatoinal graph and the memory adress. In my case I would like to remoe the grads object form my graph or not?
