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 AbstractBaseBlock

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

loadMetadata

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

Overwrite this to load additional metadata with the parameter values.

If you overwrite AbstractBaseBlock.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 AbstractBaseBlock

Parameters:

loadVersion - 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
