[docs]class Parameter(torch.Tensor): r"""A kind of Tensor that is to be considered a module parameter. Parameters are :class:`~torch.Tensor` subclasses, that have a very special property when used with :class:`Module` s - when they're assigned as Module attributes they are automatically added to the list of its parameters, and will appear e.g. in :meth:`~Module.parameters` iterator. Assigning a Tensor doesn't have such effect. This is because one might want to cache some temporary state, like last hidden state of the RNN, in the model. If there was no such class as :class:`Parameter`, these temporaries would get registered too. Args: data (Tensor): parameter tensor. requires_grad (bool, optional): if the parameter requires gradient. See :ref:`excluding-subgraphs` for more details.

[docs]class UninitializedParameter(Parameter): r"""A parameter that is not initialized. Unitialized Parameters are a a special case of :class:`torch.nn.Parameter` where the shape of the data is still unknown. Unlikely a :class:`torch.nn.Parameter`, uninitialized parameters hold no data and attempting to access some properties, like their shape, will throw a runtime error. The only operations that can be performed on a uninitialized parameter are changing its datatype, moving it to a different device and converting it to a regular :class:`torch.nn.Parameter`.
