Hi,
I am trying to write a customized backward function for ConvTranspose2d. I am using nn.grad as a reference, where it computes the gradients w.r.t weight in conv2d_weight. I thought if I only change torch.conv2d with nn.functional.conv_trasnpose2d it would do the job, but it didn’t.
So my question is how I can change conv2d_weight function (copied below from nn.grad for convenience) to be able to compute the gradient of ConvTranspose2d w.r.t its weights?
Thanks,
Tahereh
