op_alias: Alias

In Microsoft/CNTK-R: R Interface to the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK)

Description

Create a new Function instance which just aliases the specified ‘x’ Function/Variable such that the ‘Output’ of the new ‘Function’ is same as the ‘Output’ of the specified ‘x’ Function/Variable, and has the newly specified name. The purpose of this operator is to create a new distinct reference to a symbolic computation which is different from the original Function/Variable that it aliases and can be used for e.g. to substitute a specific instance of the aliased Function/Variable in the computation graph instead of substituting all usages of the aliased Function/Variable.

Usage

op_alias(x, name = "")

Arguments

x	matrix or CNTK Function that outputs a tensor
name	(str) the name of the Function instance in the network
