+# Finally, whilst :class:`pylops.TorchOperator` is designed such that

+# explicitly call the forward and adjoint of the operator in the forward pass of
+# an AD chain. This can be useful in some scenarios, for example in the
+# implementation of so-called unrolled networks. In this case, we can simply
+# use the ``forward`` and ``adjoint`` methods of the :class:`pylops.TorchOperator`
+# class; Torch's AD will instead call the two methods swapped, namely ``adjoint``
