Methods

__init__

__init__(
    tensors,
    has_bias=False
)

Instantiate FullyConnectedKroneckerFactor.

Args:

• tensors: List of list of Tensors, each of shape [batch_size, n]. The Tensors are typically either a layer's inputs or its output's gradients. The first list index is source, the second is tower.
• has_bias: bool. If True, append '1' to each row.

get_cov

get_cov()

Get full covariance matrix.

Returns:

Tensor of shape [n, n]. Represents all parameter-parameter correlations captured by this FisherFactor.

get_cov_var

get_cov_var()

Get variable backing this FisherFactor.

May or may not be the same as self.get_cov()

Returns:

Variable of shape self._cov_shape.

get_eigendecomp

get_eigendecomp()

Creates or retrieves eigendecomposition of self._cov.

get_inverse

get_inverse(damping_func)

get_matpower

get_matpower(
    exp,
    damping_func
)

instantiate_cov_variables

instantiate_cov_variables()

Makes the internal cov variable(s).

instantiate_inv_variables

instantiate_inv_variables()

Makes the internal "inverse" variable(s).

left_multiply_matpower

left_multiply_matpower(
    x,
    exp,
    damping_func
)

Left multiplies 'x' by matrix power of this factor (w/ damping applied).

This calculation is essentially: (C + damping * I)exp * x where * is matrix-multiplication, is matrix power, I is the identity matrix, and C is the matrix represented by this factor.

x can represent either a matrix or a vector. For some factors, 'x' might represent a vector but actually be stored as a 2D matrix for convenience.

Args:

• x: Tensor. Represents a single vector. Shape depends on implementation.
• exp: float. The matrix exponent to use.
• damping_func: A function that computes a 0-D Tensor or a float which will be the damping value used. i.e. damping = damping_func().

Returns:

Tensor of same shape as 'x' representing the result of the multiplication.

make_covariance_update_op

make_covariance_update_op(ema_decay)

Constructs and returns the covariance update Op.

Args:

• ema_decay: The exponential moving average decay (float or Tensor).

Returns:

An Op for updating the covariance Variable referenced by _cov.

make_inverse_update_ops

make_inverse_update_ops()

Create and return update ops corresponding to registered computations.

register_inverse

register_inverse(damping_func)

register_matpower

register_matpower(
    exp,
    damping_func
)

Registers a matrix power to be maintained and served on demand.

This creates a variable and signals make_inverse_update_ops to make the corresponding update op. The variable can be read via the method get_matpower.

Args:

• exp: float. The exponent to use in the matrix power.
• damping_func: A function that computes a 0-D Tensor or a float which will be the damping value used. i.e. damping = damping_func().

right_multiply_matpower

right_multiply_matpower(
    x,
    exp,
    damping_func
)

Right multiplies 'x' by matrix power of this factor (w/ damping applied).

This calculation is essentially: x * (C + damping * I)exp where * is matrix-multiplication, is matrix power, I is the identity matrix, and C is the matrix represented by this factor.

Unlike left_multiply_matpower, x will always be a matrix.

Args:

• x: Tensor. Represents a single vector. Shape depends on implementation.
• exp: float. The matrix exponent to use.
• damping_func: A function that computes a 0-D Tensor or a float which will be the damping value used. i.e. damping = damping_func().

Returns:

Tensor of same shape as 'x' representing the result of the multiplication.
