My question is much the same as : Can I get the gradient of a tensor with respect to the input without applying the input?
Is there a way to get the gradient wrt. to an input and then inserting a new input? Something that would allow us to find phi_z(x,z,t)|z=a.
I have tried forcing a layer to be equal to phi_z(x,z,t), and the evaluating z. But this did not yield great results.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
