Hi,
Currently i have this error when using chunk on forward after first iteration. but if chunk is replace with split, the error not happen. is there any fix related these problem?
is split same as chunk on term of backward?
this is minimal code i can reproduce
import torch
from torch import jit
from torch.nn import Parameter

class CustomRNNCell(jit.ScriptModule):
    def __init__(self, input_size, hidden_size):
        super(CustomRNNCell, self).__init__()
        self.input_size = input_size
        self.hidden_size = hidden_size
        self.weight_ih = Parameter(torch.randn(3 * hidden_size, input_size))
        self.weight_hh = Parameter(torch.randn(3 * hidden_size, hidden_size))
        self.bias_ih = Parameter(torch.randn(3 * hidden_size))
        self.bias_hh = Parameter(torch.randn(3 * hidden_size))

    @jit.script_method
    def forward(self, input, state):
        # type: (Tensor, Tuple[Tensor, Tensor]) -> Tuple[Tensor, Tuple[Tensor, Tensor]]
        hx, cx = state
        gates = (torch.mm(input, self.weight_ih.t()) + self.bias_ih +
                 torch.mm(hx, self.weight_hh.t()) + self.bias_hh)
        
        m, o, i = gates.chunk(3, 1)

        m = torch.sigmoid(m)
        o = torch.tanh(o)
        i = torch.tanh(i)        

        cy = (1 - m) * cx + (m * i)
        hy = (1 - o) * i + (o * cx)

        return hy, (hy, cy)

torch.autograd.set_detect_anomaly(mode=True)

cell = CustomRNNCell(
    input_size=1280,
    hidden_size=256
)

for i in range(20):
    x = torch.randn(8, 1280)
    state = (
        torch.zeros(8, 256),
        torch.zeros(8, 256)
    )

    out, _ = cell(x, state)
    
    print(i)
    out.mean().backward()

and the error message
