RuntimeError: you can only change requires_grad flags of leaf variables.

Hi, thanks for the great work!

When i set results = saliency.get_image_saliency_results(model, img, input_tensor, prediction_tensor), methods=['gradcam', 'smooth_grad'] in cnn_pred_explain.ipynb , Error happend:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    inp.requires_grad = True
RuntimeError: you can only change requires_grad flags of leaf variables.

What's wrong with this?

I've seen this error with another model. We will investigate this issue. I'll keep it open for future updates.

Hello, figured out the same issue, by using the example notebook (cnn_pred_explain) in the git repository. Is there a work around? If I try adjusting the files to inp.clone().detach().requires_grad_(True) I get another Error --> seems not to work: RuntimeError: set_sizes_and_strides is not allowed on a Tensor created from .data or .detach(). If your intent is to change the metadata of a Tensor (such as sizes / strides / storage / storage_offset) without autograd tracking the change, remove the .data / .detach() call and wrap the change in a with torch.no_grad(): block. For example, change: x.data.set_(y) to: with torch.no_grad(): x.set_(y)
