dense_layer: Create a Dense Layer

In metANN: Metaheuristic and Gradient-Based Optimization for Neural Network Training and Continuous Problems

Create a Dense Layer

Description

Creates a fully connected dense layer object for use in metANN architectures.

Usage

dense_layer(
  units,
  activation = "relu",
  use_bias = TRUE,
  trainable = TRUE,
  name = NULL
)

Arguments

units	A positive integer specifying the number of neurons in the layer.
activation	A character string or a "met_activation" object.
use_bias	Logical. Whether to include a bias term in the layer.
trainable	Logical. Whether the layer parameters should be trainable.
name	An optional character string specifying the layer name.

Value

An object of class "met_dense_layer".

Examples

dense_layer(10, activation = "relu")
dense_layer(1, activation = activation_linear())
