Why cant I see .grad of an intermediate variable?

17

Hi @smth, thanks for your reply. I have another question, suppose there are two heads on top of yy, how can we get grad_output from one of them, instead of the addition?

For example, how to get yy’s grad_output from zz1 part?

xx = Variable(torch.randn(1,1), requires_grad = True)
yy = 3*xx
zz1 = yy**2
zz2 = yy**2

yy.register_hook(print)
(zz1+zz2).backward()
