[docs]def clip_grad_norm(parameters, max_norm, norm_type=2):
"""Clips gradient norm of an iterable of parameters.
The norm is computed over all gradients together, as if they were
concatenated into a single vector. Gradients are modified in-place.
Arguments:
parameters (Iterable[Variable]): an iterable of Variables that will have
gradients normalized
max_norm (float or int): max norm of the gradients
norm_type (float or int): type of the used p-norm. Can be ``'inf'`` for
infinity norm.
Returns:
Total norm of the parameters (viewed as a single vector).
