+    Overview:
+        Decorate a function to signify its deprecation.
+    Arguments:
+        - since (:obj:`str`): the version when the function was first deprecated.
+        - removed_in (:obj:`str`): the version when the function will be removed.
+        - up_to (:obj:`Optional[str]`): the new API users should use.
+    Returns:
+        - decorator (:obj:`Callable`): decorated function.
+    Examples:
+        >>> from ding.utils.deprecation import deprecated
+        >>> @deprecated('0.4.1', '0.5.1')
+        >>> def hello():
