    x2,

Defined in tensorflow/contrib/layers/python/layers/rev_block_lib.py.

A block of reversible residual layers.

A reversible residual layer is defined as:

y1 = x1 + f(x2, f_side_input)
y2 = x2 + g(y1, g_side_input)

A reversible residual block, defined here, is a series of reversible residual layers.

Limitations: f and g must not close over any Tensors; all side inputs to f and g should be passed in with f_side_input and g_side_input which will be forwarded to f and g. f and g must not change the dimensionality of their inputs in order for the addition in the equations above to work.

Args:

• x1: a float Tensor.
• x2: a float Tensor.
• f: a function, (Tensor) -> (Tensor) (or list of such of length num_layers). Should not change the shape of the Tensor. Can make calls to get_variable. See f_side_input if there are side inputs.
• g: a function, (Tensor) -> (Tensor) (or list of such of length num_layers). Should not change the shape of the Tensor. Can make calls to get_variable. See g_side_input if there are side inputs.
• num_layers: int, number of reversible residual layers. Each layer will apply f and g according to the equations above, with new variables in each layer.
• f_side_input: list of Tensors, side input to f. If not None, signature of f should be (Tensor, list) -> (Tensor).
• g_side_input: list of Tensors, side input to g. If not None, signature of g should be (Tensor, list) -> (Tensor).
• is_training: bool, whether to actually use the efficient backprop codepath.

Returns:

y1, y2: tuple of float Tensors.
