By default, PyTorch will store activations etc. for computing gradients. This will cause the CNN method to consume a large amount of GPU memory, ultimately causing GPU out-of-memory error when the dataset is large.
This pull request adds
torch.no_grad
context manager to disable gradient calculation and reduce memory consumption when computing CNN features.
