Pull Request Summary
To better understand multitask training behavior, this PR adds features to log the gradient norms (for the model parameter and the loss components). And, as @andrrizzi speculated correctly, this feature requires two additional backward passes (to calculate the loss component gradient norm) and, therefore, adds additional computational costs. This features is not enabled by default.
This is added to the WandB report:
