bidirectional: layer_bidirectional

In rstudio/keras: R Interface to 'Keras'

layer_bidirectional

Description

bidirectional() is an alias for layer_bidirectional(). See ⁠?⁠layer_bidirectional() for the full documentation.

Usage

bidirectional(
  object,
  layer,
  merge_mode = "concat",
  weights = NULL,
  backward_layer = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

object	Object to compose the layer with. A tensor, array, or sequential model.
layer	RNN instance, such as layer_lstm() or layer_gru(). It could also be a Layer() instance that meets the following criteria: Be a sequence-processing layer (accepts 3D+ inputs). Have a go_backwards, return_sequences and return_state attribute (with the same semantics as for the RNN class). Have an input_spec attribute. Implement serialization via get_config() and from_config(). Note that the recommended way to create new RNN layers is to write a custom RNN cell and use it with layer_rnn(), instead of subclassing with Layer() directly. When return_sequences is TRUE, the output of the masked timestep will be zero regardless of the layer's original zero_output_for_mask value.
merge_mode	Mode by which outputs of the forward and backward RNNs will be combined. One of ⁠{"sum", "mul", "concat", "ave", NULL}⁠. If NULL, the outputs will not be combined, they will be returned as a list. Defaults to "concat".
weights	see description
backward_layer	Optional RNN, or Layer() instance to be used to handle backwards input processing. If backward_layer is not provided, the layer instance passed as the layer argument will be used to generate the backward layer automatically. Note that the provided backward_layer layer should have properties matching those of the layer argument, in particular it should have the same values for stateful, return_states, return_sequences, etc. In addition, backward_layer and layer should have different go_backwards argument values. A ValueError will be raised if these requirements are not met.
...	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.
