 cases where not all the state variables should be reset to their default value. Adding metric states with ``add_state``
 will make sure that states are correctly synchronized in distributed settings (DDP). To see how metric states are

 Below is a basic implementation of a custom accuracy metric. In the ``__init__`` method we add the metric states
