Hello, I am implementing a Copynet with coverage mechanism.
# (batch_size * input_len)
batch_indices = batch_indices.expand(input_len, batch_size).transpose(1,0).contiguous().view(-1)
batch_indices = self.to_cuda(batch_indices)
# (batch_size * input_len)
idx_repeat = torch.arange(start=0, end=input_len).repeat(batch_size).long()
idx_repeat = self.to_cuda(idx_repeat)
# (batch_size * input_len)
word_indices = input_extend_vocab.data.contiguous().view(-1)

p_copy = torch.zeros(batch_size, self.trg_vocab_size + max_oov_len)
p_copy = self.to_cuda(Variable(p_copy))
p_copy[batch_indices, word_indices] += attn[batch_indices, idx_repeat]
coverage[batch_indices, idx_repeat] += attn[batch_indices, idx_repeat]
p_copy = torch.mul(p_copy, (1-p_gen))

But when I use loss.backward. There is an error : “RuntimeError: one of the variables needed for gradient computation has been modified by an inplace operation”. How can I avoid this error?
