This class is meant to be used as a function decorator. Instances are callables that behave similarly to the underlying function to which the decorator was applied, except when a differentiation transformation (like :py:func:`jax.jvp` or :py:func:`jax.grad`) is applied, in which case a custom user-supplied JVP rule function is used instead of tracing into and performing automatic differentiation of the underlying function's implementation. There are two instance methods available for defining the custom JVP rule: :py:func:`~jax.custom_jvp.defjvp` for defining a *single* custom JVP rule for all the function's inputs, and for convenience :py:func:`~jax.custom_jvp.defjvps`, which wraps :py:func:`~jax.custom_jvp.defjvp`, and allows you to provide separate definitions for the partial derivatives of the function w.r.t. each of its arguments.

[docs] def custom_gradient(fun): """Convenience function for defining custom VJP rules (aka custom gradients). While the canonical way to define custom VJP rules is via ``jax.custom_vjp``, the ``custom_gradient`` convenience wrapper follows TensorFlow's ``tf.custom_gradient`` API. The difference here is that ``custom_gradient`` can be used as a decorator on one function that returns both the primal value (representing the output of the mathematical function to be differentiated) and the VJP (gradient) function. See https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/custom_gradient. If the mathematical function to be differentiated has Haskell-like signature ``a -> b``, then the Python callable ``fun`` should have the signature ``a -> (b, CT b --o CT a)`` where we use ``CT x`` to denote a cotangent type for ``x`` and the ``--o`` arrow to denote a linear function. See the example below. That is, ``fun`` should return a pair where the first element represents the value of the mathematical function to be differentiated and the second element is a function to be called on the backward pass of reverse-mode automatic differentiation (i.e. the "custom gradient" function). The function returned as the second element of the output of ``fun`` can close over intermediate values computed when evaluating the function to be differentiated. That is, use lexical closure to share work between the forward pass and the backward pass of reverse-mode automatic differentiation. However, it cannot perform Python control flow which depends on the values of the closed-over intermediate values or its cotangent arguments; if the function includes such control flow, an error is raised. Args: fun: a Python callable specifying both the mathematical function to be differentiated and its reverse-mode differentiation rule. It should return a pair consisting of an output value and a Python callable that represents the custom gradient function. Returns: A Python callable that accepts the same arguments as ``fun`` and returns the output value specified by the first element of ``fun``'s output pair. For example: >>> @jax.custom_gradient ... def f(x): ... return x ** 2, lambda g: (g * x,) ... >>> print(f(3.)) 9.0 >>> print(jax.grad(f)(3.)) 3.0 An example with a function on two arguments, so that the VJP function must return a tuple of length two: >>> @jax.custom_gradient ... def f(x, y): ... return x * y, lambda g: (g * y, g * x) ... >>> print(f(3., 4.)) 12.0 >>> print(jax.grad(f, argnums=(0, 1))(3., 4.))

To define custom derivatives such as with ``jax.custom_vjp(f)``, the target function ``f`` must take, as formal arguments, all values involved in differentiation. If ``f`` is a higher-order function, in that it accepts as an argument a Python function ``g``, then values stored away in ``g``'s closure will not be visible to the custom derivative rules, and attempts at AD involving these values will fail. One way around this is to convert the closure by extracting these values, and to pass them as explicit formal arguments across the custom derivative boundary. This utility carries out that conversion. More precisely, it closure-converts the function ``fun`` specialized to the types of the arguments given in ``example_args``. When we refer here to "values in the closure" of ``fun``, we do not mean the values that are captured by Python directly when ``fun`` is defined (e.g. the Python objects in ``fun.__closure__``, if the attribute exists). Rather, we mean values encountered during the execution of ``fun`` on ``example_args`` that determine its output. This may include, for instance, arrays captured transitively in Python closures, i.e. in the Python closure of functions called by ``fun``, the closures of the functions that they call, and so forth. The function ``fun`` must be a pure function.

The functions ``fun`` and ``fun_transpose`` are coupled as transposes of one another. Specifically, the transpose of a ``linear_call`` primitive is another ``linear_call`` to ``fun_transpose``, with ``fun`` as its custom transposition.
