def clip_by_global_norm_per_ctx(self, max_norm=1.0, param_names=None):
        """Clips gradient norm.

        The norm is computed over all gradients together, as if they were
         concatenated into a single vector. Gradients are modified in-place.

        The method is first used in
         `[ICML2013] On the difficulty of training recurrent neural networks`

        Note that the gradients are concatenated per context in this implementation.

        Examples
        --------
        An example of using clip_grad_norm to clip the gradient before updating the parameters::
            >>> #Get the gradient via back-propagation
            >>> net.forward_backward(data_batch=data_batch)
            >>> norm_val = net.clip_by_global_norm(max_norm=2.0, param_names='w0')
            >>> net.update()
