tf.contrib.rnn.BidirectionalGridLSTMCell

Class BidirectionalGridLSTMCell

Inherits From: GridLSTMCell

Defined in tensorflow/contrib/rnn/python/ops/rnn_cell.py.

Bidirectional GridLstm cell.

The bidirection connection is only used in the frequency direction, which hence doesn't affect the time direction's real-time processing that is required for online recognition systems. The current implementation uses different weights for the two directions.

Properties

activity_regularizer

Optional regularizer function for the output of this layer.

dtype

graph

input

Retrieves the input tensor(s) of a layer.

Only applicable if the layer has exactly one input, i.e. if it is connected to one incoming layer.

Returns:

Input tensor or list of input tensors.

Raises:

• AttributeError: if the layer is connected to more than one incoming layers.

Raises:

• RuntimeError: If called in Eager mode.
• AttributeError: If no inbound nodes are found.

input_shape

Retrieves the input shape(s) of a layer.

Only applicable if the layer has exactly one input, i.e. if it is connected to one incoming layer, or if all inputs have the same shape.

Returns:

Input shape, as an integer shape tuple (or list of shape tuples, one tuple per input tensor).

__call__

__call__(
    inputs,
    state,
    scope=None
)

Run this RNN cell on inputs, starting from the given state.

Args:

• inputs: 2-D tensor with shape [batch_size, input_size].
• state: if self.state_size is an integer, this should be a 2-D Tensor with shape [batch_size, self.state_size]. Otherwise, if self.state_size is a tuple of integers, this should be a tuple with shapes [batch_size, s] for s in self.state_size.
• scope: VariableScope for the created subgraph; defaults to class name.

Returns:

A pair containing:

• Output: A 2-D tensor with shape [batch_size, self.output_size].
• New state: Either a single 2-D tensor, or a tuple of tensors matching the arity and shapes of state.

__deepcopy__

__deepcopy__(memo)

add_loss

add_loss(
    losses,
    inputs=None
)

Add loss tensor(s), potentially dependent on layer inputs.

Some losses (for instance, activity regularization losses) may be dependent on the inputs passed when calling a layer. Hence, when reusing the same layer on different inputs a and b, some entries in layer.losses may be dependent on a and some on b. This method automatically keeps track of dependencies.

The get_losses_for method allows to retrieve the losses relevant to a specific set of inputs.

Note that add_loss is not supported when executing eagerly. Instead, variable regularizers may be added through add_variable. Activity regularization is not supported directly (but such losses may be returned from Layer.call()).

Arguments:

• losses: Loss tensor, or list/tuple of tensors.
• inputs: If anything other than None is passed, it signals the losses are conditional on some of the layer's inputs, and thus they should only be run where these inputs are available. This is the case for activity regularization losses, for instance. If None is passed, the losses are assumed to be unconditional, and will apply across all dataflows of the layer (e.g. weight regularization losses).

Raises:

• RuntimeError: If called in Eager mode.

add_update

add_update(
    updates,
    inputs=None
)

Add update op(s), potentially dependent on layer inputs.

Weight updates (for instance, the updates of the moving mean and variance in a BatchNormalization layer) may be dependent on the inputs passed when calling a layer. Hence, when reusing the same layer on different inputs a and b, some entries in layer.updates may be dependent on a and some on b. This method automatically keeps track of dependencies.

The get_updates_for method allows to retrieve the updates relevant to a specific set of inputs.

This call is ignored in Eager mode.

Arguments:

• updates: Update op, or list/tuple of update ops.
• inputs: If anything other than None is passed, it signals the updates are conditional on some of the layer's inputs, and thus they should only be run where these inputs are available. This is the case for BatchNormalization updates, for instance. If None, the updates will be taken into account unconditionally, and you are responsible for making sure that any dependency they might have is available at runtime. A step counter might fall into this category.

add_variable

add_variable(
    name,
    shape,
    dtype=None,
    initializer=None,
    regularizer=None,
    trainable=True,
    constraint=None,
    partitioner=None
)

Adds a new variable to the layer, or gets an existing one; returns it.

Arguments:

• name: variable name.
• shape: variable shape.
• dtype: The type of the variable. Defaults to self.dtype or float32.
• initializer: initializer instance (callable).
• regularizer: regularizer instance (callable).
• trainable: whether the variable should be part of the layer's "trainable_variables" (e.g. variables, biases) or "non_trainable_variables" (e.g. BatchNorm mean, stddev). Note, if the current variable scope is marked as non-trainable then this parameter is ignored and any added variables are also marked as non-trainable.
• constraint: constraint instance (callable).
• partitioner: (optional) partitioner instance (callable). If provided, when the requested variable is created it will be split into multiple partitions according to partitioner. In this case, an instance of PartitionedVariable is returned. Available partitioners include tf.fixed_size_partitioner and tf.variable_axis_size_partitioner. For more details, see the documentation of tf.get_variable and the "Variable Partitioners and Sharding" section of the API guide.

Returns:

The created variable. Usually either a Variable or ResourceVariable instance. If partitioner is not None, a PartitionedVariable instance is returned.

Raises:

• RuntimeError: If called with partioned variable regularization and eager execution is enabled.

apply

apply(
    inputs,
    *args,
    **kwargs
)

Apply the layer on a input.

This simply wraps self.__call__.

Arguments:

• inputs: Input tensor(s).

compute_output_shape

compute_output_shape(input_shape)
