Specifies that ops of type op_type is not differentiable.

Aliases:

  • tf.compat.v1.NoGradient
  • tf.compat.v1.NotDifferentiable
  • tf.compat.v1.no_gradient
  • tf.compat.v2.no_gradient
 tf.no_gradient(op_type)

This function should not be used for operations that have a well-defined gradient that is not yet implemented. tf.size()This function is only used when defining a new op type. It may be used for ops such as that are not differentiable. For example:

 tf.no_gradient("Size")

The gradient computed for 'op_type' will then propagate zeros. For ops that have a well-defined gradient but are not yet implemented, no declaration should be made, and an error must be thrown if an attempt to request its gradient is made.

Args:

  • op_type: The string type of an operation. This corresponds to the OpDef.name field for the proto that defines the operation.

Raises:

  • TypeError: If op_type is not a string.
