This PR addresses the issue #285
While applying gradients with distributed shampoo, it fails with the error
"TypeError: Variable is unhashable. Instead, use variable.ref() as the key"
.This is caused because of using variable instead of
variable.ref()
as key which is fixed in this pull request. This has been a recurring issue whenever the lingvo library is reinstalled and it needs to be changed locally. This PR will also address this issue for any other users trying to use distributed shampoo.
