Works by filtering the tape, computing how many downstream usages are of each tensor and entry, and repeatedly applying backward functions until we have gradients for all sources. Args: tape: the gradient tape which stores the trace. target: either a Tensor or list of Tensors to be differentiated. sources: list of Tensors for which we want gradients output_gradients: if not None, a list of gradient provided for each Target, or None if we are to use the target's computed downstream gradient. sources_raw: if not None, a list of the source python objects from which the sources were generated. Should have the same length as sources. Only needs to be populated if unconnected_gradients is 'zero'. unconnected_gradients: determines the value returned if the target and sources are unconnected. When 'none' the value returned is None wheras when 'zero' a zero tensor in the same shape as the sources is returned. Returns: the gradient wrt each of the sources. Raises: ValueError: if the arguments are invalid. RuntimeError: if something goes wrong.
