    r"""Diffentiable approximate rounding function.

    This method is a piecewise approximation of a rounding function where
    each piece is a hyperbolic tangent function.

    Args:
        X: The tensor to round to the nearest integer (element-wise).
        tau: A temperature hyperparameter.

    Returns:
        The approximately rounded input tensor.

    rounding_component = (torch.tanh(scaled_remainder) + 1) / 2
    return offset + rounding_component
