[docs]def hvp(func, inputs, v=None, create_graph=False, strict=False):
r"""Function that computes the dot product between the Hessian of a given scalar
function and a vector ``v`` at the point given by the inputs.
Args:
func (function): a Python function that takes Tensor inputs and returns
a Tensor with a single element.
inputs (tuple of Tensors or Tensor): inputs to the function ``func``.
v (tuple of Tensors or Tensor): The vector for which the Hessian vector
product is computed. Must be the same size as the input of
``func``. This argument is optional when ``func``'s input contains
a single element and (if it is not provided) will be set as a
Tensor containing a single ``1``.
create_graph (bool, optional): If ``True``, both the output and result will be
computed in a differentiable way. Note that when ``strict`` is
``False``, the result can not require gradients or be disconnected
from the inputs. Defaults to ``False``.
strict (bool, optional): If ``True``, an error will be raised when we
detect that there exists an input such that all the outputs are
independent of it. If ``False``, we return a Tensor of zeros as the
hvp for said inputs, which is the expected mathematical value.
Defaults to ``False``.
Returns:
func_output (tuple of Tensors or Tensor): output of ``func(inputs)``
hvp (tuple of Tensors or Tensor): result of the dot product with
the same shape as the inputs.
Example:
>>> def pow_reducer(x):
... return x.pow(3).sum()
>>> inputs = torch.rand(2, 2)
>>> v = torch.ones(2, 2)
>>> hvp(pow_reducer, inputs, v)
(tensor(0.1448),
tensor([[2.0239, 1.6456],
[2.4988, 1.4310]]))
>>> hvp(pow_reducer, inputs, v, create_graph=True)
(tensor(0.1448, grad_fn=<SumBackward0>),
tensor([[2.0239, 1.6456],
[2.4988, 1.4310]], grad_fn=<MulBackward0>))
>>> def pow_adder_reducer(x, y):
... return (2 * x.pow(2) + 3 * y.pow(2)).sum()
>>> inputs = (torch.rand(2), torch.rand(2))
>>> v = (torch.zeros(2), torch.ones(2))
>>> hvp(pow_adder_reducer, inputs, v)
(tensor(2.3030),
(tensor([0., 0.]),
tensor([6., 6.])))
Note:
This function is significantly slower than `vhp` due to backward mode AD constraints.
If your functions is twice continuously differentiable, then hvp = vhp.t(). So if you
know that your function satisfies this condition, you should use vhp instead that is
much faster with the current implementation.
