InnovArul and ptrblck.
Thank you so much for your help.
I just wanted to ask why should I use this line self.register_buffer("filter", filter)? and not something like self.filter = nn.Parameter(filter, requires_grad=False)? Why is the latter not correct?
since I looked at a bunch of posts to learn about register_buffer usage but I am new to pytorch and still want to understand deeper:
