Google Colab version not running [BUG]

[ShaneGilroy]

Describe the bug
When running the google colab version Part 4. Visualize Saliency Maps throws up the following error

---

RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)

RuntimeError: Output 0 of UnbindBackward is a view and is being modified inplace. This view is the output of a function that returns multiple views. Such functions do not allow the output views to be modified inplace. You should replace the inplace operation by an out-of-place one.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://colab.research.google.com/github/MisaOgura/flashtorch/blob/master/examples/visualize_saliency_with_backprop_colab.ipynb
2. Click on 'Run all'
3. Scroll down to 'Section 4'
4. See error

met the same problem, anyone has suggestion?

how to solve this question?I have changed the environment,but...

[willjobs]

I have the same issue. My model is fine-tuned from a ResNet-50 (using the latest fastai, v2), and I'm using Google Colab without a GPU. Interestingly, backprop.visualize(...) doesn't work, but backprop.calculate_gradients(...) does work. Based on some googling around, maybe there needs to be a torch.no_grad() in there somewhere?

I am using the following package versions:

• fastai==2.2.5
• fastcore==1.3.19
• fastai-amalgam==0.0.26
• torch==1.7.0+cu101
• torchvision==0.8.1+cu101
• flashtorch==0.1.3

The network structure (of the ResNet-50) is as follows:

[CODE-FOR]

you can change your code into something like this

_denormalized_zero = [denormalized[0][i] for i in range(3)]

for channel, mean, std in zip(_denormalized_zero, means, stds):
    channel.mul_(std).add_(mean)

seems like torch 1.7+ has this feature

[montanafowler]

I tried that solution, but I still get the same error ^

[chrisbaume]

Tried running visualize_saliency_with_backprop.ipynb locally with Python 3.8 and PyTorch 1.4.0, but same error 😞

[MisaOgura]

Hi all,

Apologies for the delayed response - I haven't been able to work on this project for a while due to personal circumstances.

The proper fix is on my todo list, but as an immediate patch I have pinned versions of torch & torchvision in colab notebooks to:

torch==1.5.0 torchvision==0.6.0

I can verify that these notebooks execute without errors and create correct visualisation as of April 27, 2021:

• Backprop demo: https://colab.research.google.com/github/MisaOgura/flashtorch/blob/master/examples/visualize_saliency_with_backprop_colab.ipynb
• Activation maximisation demo: https://colab.research.google.com/github/MisaOgura/flashtorch/blob/master/examples/activation_maximization_colab.ipynb

Best,
Misa
