ai.djl.modality.nlp.Decoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

Block

public abstract class Decoder
extends AbstractBlock

Decoder is an abstract block that be can used as decoder in encoder-decoder architecture. This abstraction, along with Encoder, comes into play in the EncoderDecoder class, and facilitate implementing encoder-decoder models for different tasks and inputs.

Constructor Detail

Decoder

public Decoder(byte version,
               Block block)

Constructs a new instance of Decoder with the given block. Use this constructor if you are planning to use pre-trained embeddings that don't need further training.

Parameters:

block - the block to be used to decode

version - the version to use for parameter and metadata serialization

Method Detail

forwardInternal

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

A helper for Block.forward(ParameterStore, NDList, boolean, PairList) after initialization.

Specified by:

forwardInternal in class AbstractBlock

Parameters:

parameterStore - the parameter store

inputs - the input NDList

training - true for a training forward pass

params - optional parameters

Returns:

the output of the forward pass

initializeChildBlocks

public void initializeChildBlocks(NDManager manager,
                                  DataType dataType,
                                  Shape... inputShapes)

Initializes the Child blocks of this block. You need to override this method if your subclass has child blocks. Used to determine the correct input shapes for child blocks based on the requested input shape for this block.

Overrides:

initializeChildBlocks in class AbstractBlock

Parameters:

manager - the manager to use for initialization

dataType - the requested data type

inputShapes - the expected input shapes for this block

getOutputShapes

public Shape[] getOutputShapes(Shape[] inputShapes)

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

Parameters:

inputShapes - the shapes of the inputs

Returns:

the expected output shapes of the block

saveParameters

public void saveParameters(java.io.DataOutputStream os)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Writes the parameters of the block to the given outputStream.

Specified by:

saveParameters in interface Block

Overrides:

saveParameters in class AbstractBlock

Parameters:

os - the outputstream to save the parameters to

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

loadParameters

public void loadParameters(NDManager manager,
                           java.io.DataInputStream is)
                    throws java.io.IOException,
                           MalformedModelException

Loads the parameters from the given input stream.

Specified by:

loadParameters in interface Block

Overrides:

loadParameters in class AbstractBlock

Parameters:

manager - an NDManager to create the parameter arrays

is - the inputstream that stream the parameter values

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

MalformedModelException - if the model file is corrupted or unsupported
