ai.djl.nn.core.Linear

All Implemented Interfaces:

Block

public class Linear
extends AbstractBlock

A Linear block applies a linear transformation \(Y = XW^T + b\).

It has the following shapes:

• input X: [x1, x2, …, xn, input_dim]
• weight W: [units, input_dim]
• Bias b: [units]
• output Y: [x1, x2, …, xn, units]

The Linear block should be constructed using Linear.Builder.

Method Detail

forwardInternal

protected NDList forwardInternal(ParameterStore parameterStore,
                                 NDList inputs,
                                 boolean training,
                                 ai.djl.util.PairList<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> params)

Specified by:

forwardInternal in class AbstractBlock

getOutputShapes

public Shape[] getOutputShapes(NDManager manager,
                               Shape[] inputs)

Returns the expected output shapes of the block for the specified input shapes.

Parameters:

manager - an NDManager

inputs - the shapes of the inputs

Returns:

the expected output shapes of the block

describeInput

public ai.djl.util.PairList<java.lang.String,Shape> describeInput()

Returns a PairList of input names, and shapes.

Specified by:

describeInput in interface Block

Overrides:

describeInput in class AbstractBlock

Returns:

the PairList of input names, and shapes

beforeInitialize

public void beforeInitialize(Shape[] inputShapes)

Performs any action necessary before initialization.

Overrides:

beforeInitialize in class AbstractBlock

Parameters:

inputShapes - the expected shapes of the input

saveMetadata

protected void saveMetadata(java.io.DataOutputStream os)
                     throws java.io.IOException

Override this method to save additional data apart from parameter values.

This default implementation saves the currently set input shapes.

Overrides:

saveMetadata in class AbstractBlock

Parameters:

os - the non-null output stream the parameter values and metadata are written to

Throws:

java.io.IOException - saving failed

loadMetadata

public void loadMetadata(byte version,
                         java.io.DataInputStream is)
                  throws java.io.IOException,
                         MalformedModelException

Overwrite this to load additional metadata with the parameter values.

If you overwrite AbstractBlock.saveMetadata(DataOutputStream) or need to provide backward compatibility to older binary formats, you prabably need to overwrite this. This default implementation checks if the version number fits, if not it throws an MalformedModelException. After that it restores the input shapes.

Overrides:

loadMetadata in class AbstractBlock

Parameters:

version - the version used for loading this metadata.

is - the input stream we are loading from

Throws:

java.io.IOException - loading failed

MalformedModelException - data can be loaded but has wrong format

linear

public static NDList linear(NDArray input,
                            NDArray weight)

Applies a linear transformation to the incoming data.

Parameters:

input - input X: [x1, x2, …, xn, input_dim]

weight - weight W: [units, input_dim]

Returns:

output Y: [x1, x2, …, xn, units]

linear

public static NDList linear(NDArray input,
                            NDArray weight,
                            NDArray bias)

Applies a linear transformation to the incoming data.

Parameters:

input - input X: [x1, x2, …, xn, input_dim]

weight - weight W: [units, input_dim]

bias - bias b: [units]

Returns:

output Y: [x1, x2, …, xn, units]

builder

public static Linear.Builder builder()

Creates a builder to build a Linear.

Returns:

a new builder
