layer_average: Averages a list of inputs element-wise..

In keras3: R Interface to 'Keras'

Averages a list of inputs element-wise..

Description

It takes as input a list of tensors, all of the same shape, and returns a single tensor (also of the same shape).

Usage

layer_average(inputs, ...)

Arguments

inputs	layers to combine
...	For forward/backward compatability.

Value

The return value depends on the value provided for the first argument. If object is:

• a keras_model_sequential(), then the layer is added to the sequential model (which is modified in place). To enable piping, the sequential model is also returned, invisibly.

• a keras_input(), then the output tensor from calling layer(input) is returned.

• NULL or missing, then a Layer instance is returned.

Examples

input_shape <- c(1, 2, 3)
x1 <- op_ones(input_shape)
x2 <- op_zeros(input_shape)
layer_average(x1, x2)

## tf.Tensor(
## [[[0.5 0.5 0.5]
##   [0.5 0.5 0.5]]], shape=(1, 2, 3), dtype=float32)

Usage in a Keras model:

input1 <- layer_input(shape = c(16))
x1 <- input1 |> layer_dense(8, activation = 'relu')

input2 <- layer_input(shape = c(32))
x2 <- input2 |> layer_dense(8, activation = 'relu')

added <- layer_average(x1, x2)
output <- added |> layer_dense(4)

model <- keras_model(inputs = c(input1, input2), outputs = output)
