GeneralizedDiceLoss is not differentiable #3618

@josafatburmeister

Description

@josafatburmeister

Describe the bug
The code used for weight clamping in the forward method of the GeneralizedDiceLoss module is not differentiable:

w = self.w_func(ground_o.float())
for b in w:
    infs = torch.isinf(b)
    b[infs] = 0.0
    b[infs] = torch.max(b)

When computing the loss gradients, Pytorch throws the following error:

RuntimeError: Output 0 of UnbindBackward0 is a view and is being modified inplace. This view is the output of a function that returns multiple views. Such functions do not allow the output views to be modified inplace. You should replace the inplace operation by an out-of-place one.

To Reproduce

The bug can be reproduced using the following python script:

import torch
from monai.losses.dice import GeneralizedDiceLoss

prediction = torch.zeros(2, 3, 3, 3)
target = torch.zeros(2, 3, 3, 3)
prediction.requires_grad = True
target.requires_grad = True

generalized_dice_loss = GeneralizedDiceLoss()
loss = generalized_dice_loss(prediction, target)

Note that the error does not occur if requires_grad is set to False for prediction and target.

Expected behavior
The forward method of the GeneralizedDiceLoss module should be differentiable.

Environment

Ensuring you use the relevant python executable, please paste the output of:
