PyTorch could make certain things more obvious. Even though it does make things like defining loss functions and calculating gradients in backward propagation clear, these concepts may confuse beginners. We find that it's kind of problematic. Despite having methods called on loss functions during backward passes, the oral documentation for beginners is quite complex.
