Method Detail

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

Returns:

the PairList of input names, and shapes

setInitializer

public void setInitializer(Initializer initializer)

Sets an Initializer to the block.

Specified by:

setInitializer in interface Block

Parameters:

initializer - the initializer to set

setInitializer

public void setInitializer(Initializer initializer,
                           java.lang.String paramName)

Sets an Initializer to the specified direct parameter of the block, overriding the initializer of the parameter, if already set.

Specified by:

setInitializer in interface Block

Parameters:

initializer - the initializer to be set

paramName - the name of the parameter

getParameters

public ParameterList getParameters()

Returns a list of all the parameters of the block, including the parameters of its children fetched recursively.

Specified by:

getParameters in interface Block

Returns:

the list of all parameters of the block

beforeInitialize

protected void beforeInitialize(Shape[] inputShapes)

Performs any action necessary before initialization.

Parameters:

inputShapes - the expected shapes of the input

isInitialized

public boolean isInitialized()

Returns a boolean whether the block is initialized.

Specified by:

isInitialized in interface Block

Returns:

whether the block is initialized

clear

public void clear()

Closes all the parameters of the block. All the updates made during training will be lost.

Specified by:

clear in interface Block

cast

public void cast(DataType dataType)

Guaranteed to throw an exception. Not yet implemented

Specified by:

cast in interface Block

Parameters:

dataType - the data type to cast to
