Basic Pytorch implementation of the PCGrad

This is a basic implementation of the PC_GRAD loss suggested in paper Gradient Surgery for Multi-Task Learning Please see here for the official implementation and citation info PC_Grad.

Note:

1. The loss function converges for me on a different project.
2. Please don't forget to call the optimizer.step() after calculating gradients from the loss function.

Usage:

output = net(input)
loss1 = criterion_one(output[0], labels[0])
loss2 = criterion_two(output[1], labels[1])

# Optimizer 
PCGrad_loss([loss1, loss2], [optimizer], [net], device):

optimizer.step()
