Meaning that you calculate the gradient of the +gradient. For this the operator's backward must be differentiable as well. Some operators support +differentiating multiple times, and others two, most just once. + +For calculating higher order gradients, we can use the `mx.autograd.grad` function while recording Review comment: They could just call backward() instead of `mx.autograd.grad`, right? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
