layer_variable: Variable Layer

In rstudio/tfprobability: Interface to 'TensorFlow Probability'

Variable Layer

Description

Simply returns a (trainable) variable, regardless of input. This layer implements the mathematical function f(x) = c where c is a constant, i.e., unchanged for all x. Like other Keras layers, the constant is trainable. This layer can also be interpretted as the special case of layer_dense() when the kernel is forced to be the zero matrix (tf$zeros).

Usage

layer_variable(
  object,
  shape,
  dtype = NULL,
  activation = NULL,
  initializer = "zeros",
  regularizer = NULL,
  constraint = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

object	What to compose the new Layer instance with. Typically a Sequential model or a Tensor (e.g., as returned by layer_input()). The return value depends on object. If object is: missing or NULL, the Layer instance is returned. a Sequential model, the model with an additional layer is returned. a Tensor, the output tensor from layer_instance(object) is returned.
shape	integer or integer vector specifying the shape of the output of this layer.
dtype	TensorFlow dtype of the variable created by this layer.
activation	An activation function. See keras::layer_dense. Default: NULL.
initializer	Initializer for the constant vector.
regularizer	Regularizer function applied to the constant vector.
constraint	Constraint function applied to the constant vector.
...	Additional keyword arguments passed to the keras::layer_dense constructed by this layer.

Value
