How can I update parameters of my model with optimiser in pytorch?

Question

Thanks for your attention. I just can't update the parameters of my model. It stays the same although I backward my loss and step the optimiser. The codes are below.

for k in range(100):
  c_train = cluster.forward(context)
  # pdb.set_trace() # debug here
  loss_Cluster = cluster_L(train_num, args['lambda_c'], scalar_f, c_train)
  #loss_Cluster = F.cross_entropy(c_train, test) # just for testing, proving that loss_Cluster is right

  optimiser_c.zero_grad()
  loss_Cluster.backward()
  grad_norm = th.nn.utils.clip_grad_norm_(c_param, 10)
  # for para in cluster.parameters():
  #  print(para)
  optimiser_c.step()

some configs and the cluster model:

args = {'c_emb':16, 'use_cuda':False, 'ally_type':[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
        'enemy_type':[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], 'n_classes':5, 'lambda_c':2}
cluster = CLUSTER_L(args)
context = th.tensor(args['ally_type']+args['enemy_type'], dtype=th.float)
train_num = args['n_classes']*args['lambda_c']
scalar_f = (args['n_classes']*(train_num-1))/(args['lambda_c']*args['lambda_c']) 
c_param = list(cluster.parameters())
optimiser_c = RMSprop(c_param, lr = 0.1)

import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F

import numpy as np


class CLUSTER_L(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, args):
        super(CLUSTER_L, self).__init__()
        self.args = args
        self.embed_dim = self.args['c_emb']
        if self.args['use_cuda']:
            torch.cuda.set_device(torch.device('cuda:0'))
        self.input_size = len(self.args['ally_type'])+len(self.args['enemy_type'])
        self.n = self.args['n_classes']
        self.lbd = self.args['lambda_c']
        # the input of cl should be 1*2T , output should be 1*(2T*self.n*self.lbd)
        
        
        self.cl = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(self.input_size, self.embed_dim),
                               nn.ReLU(),
                               nn.Linear(self.embed_dim, self.embed_dim),
                               nn.ReLU(),
                               nn.Linear(self.embed_dim, self.n*self.lbd*self.input_size)
                               )

        self.af = nn.ReLU()
        
        
        
        
    # inputs should be 1*2T size    
    def forward(self, inputs):
        d_outputs = self.cl(inputs).view(self.n*self.lbd, self.input_size)

        outputs = ((self.af(d_outputs)+0.1)*10).round() # make sure the outputs are positive and >=1
        print(outputs)
        outputs2 = outputs*inputs # mask and output

        return outputs2
    

I've tried changing the loss function to some standard functions in nn.functional such as cross_entropy but the issue remains the same.

Could anyone tell me how can I update the parameters of the model(cluster)? I appreciate your help.

Just remove the round() and modify the view to keep the batch dim.
