Question about EWC Implementation #7

@yunboouyang

Description

@yunboouyang

Hello developers! I looked at the implementation of EWC and got confused about computing the diagonal of the empirical Fisher Information Matrix. In

pg = p.grad.data.clone().pow(2)
the square of the sum of gradients of all data points in the memory are computed, but this is not equal to the sum of squares of gradients. The latter should be used to compute Empirical Fisher, see https://wiseodd.github.io/techblog/2018/03/11/fisher-information/. Could you confirm this?
