I have been trying to make the entire starting columns in the weight matrix to zero. But after the training, all weight matrices look same. Please help me with a better way in order to achieve this.
#My code::

    self.relu = nn.ReLU()

    out = self.fc1(x)

    optimizer.zero_grad()
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()
    
    if (i+1) % 100 == 0:
        print ('Epoch [{}/{}], Step [{}/{}], Loss: {:.4f}' 
               .format(epoch+1, num_epochs, i+1, total_step, loss.item()))

print('Accuracy of the network on the 10000 test images: {} %'.format(100 * correct / total))

torch.save(model.state_dict(), ‘model.ckpt’)
