I’m trying to use the value of layer.register_forward_hook to train my network.
During training, if I use the value returned from network to train my network, the training goes well.
(I’ve checked the gradients, loss decreasing and accuracy increasing)
But if I use the value from layer.register_forward_hook to train my network, every gradients are zero and loss and accuracy is not changed.
I really don’t know what is the correct way to use the values from layer.register_forward_hook.
I want to know the method to train network with values from register_forward_hook function.
Please help me guys.
My entire code is below:
