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: vspace: the vector space in which to differentiate. 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. Returns: the gradient wrt each of the sources. Raises: RuntimeError: if something goes wrong. ValueError: if there is no sequence of differentiable operations connecting a source and any target Tensor. This can happen either if the target is not computed based on the source, if the tracing was set up incorrectly, or if only non-differentiable functions of the source were used in the computation of target.
