LSTM

Description

Define the lstm layer according to its parameters. To be used for the TimeDistributed layer. Type : polymorphic.

 

Input parameters

 

 parameters : layer parameters.

 units : integer, dimensionality of the output space.
activation : enum, activation function to use.
Default value “tanh”.
 output_activation : enum, activation function to use.
Default value “tanh”.
 recurrent_activation : enum, activation function to use for the recurrent step.
Default value “sigmoid”.
 use_bias? : boolean, whether the layer uses a bias vector.
Default value “True”.
input_weight_initializer : enum, initializer for the kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the inputs.
Default value “glorot_uniform”.
 hidden_weight_initializer : enum, initializer for the recurrent_kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
Default value “orthogonal”.
 bias_initializer : enum, initializer for the bias vector.
Default value “zeros”.
 unit_forget_bias? : boolean, if True, add 1 to the bias of the forget gate at initialization.
Default value “True”.
 dropout : float, fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the inputs.
Default value “0.0”.
 recurrent_dropout : float, fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
Default value “0.0”.
 return_sequences? : boolean, whether to return the last output in the output sequence, or the full sequence.
Default value “False”.
 stateful? : boolean, if True, the last state for each sample at index i in a batch will be used as initial state for the sample of index i in the following batch.
Default value “False”.
 optimizer :

algorithm :enum, (name of optimizer) for optimizer instance.
Default value “adam”.
 learning_rate : float, define the learning rate to use.
Default value “0.001”.
 beta_1 : float, define the exponential decay rate for the 1st moment estimates.
Default value “0.9”.
 beta_2 : float, define the exponential decay rate for the 2nd moment estimates.
Default value “0.999”.

 training? : boolean, whether the layer is in training mode (can store data for backward).
Default value “True”.
 store? : boolean, whether the layer stores the last iteration gradient (accessible via the “get_gradients” function).
Default value “False”.
 update? : boolean, whether the layer’s variables should be updated during backward. Equivalent to freeze the layer.
Default value “True”.
 lda_coeff : float, defines the coefficient by which the loss derivative will be multiplied before being sent to the previous layer (since during the backward run we go backwards).
Default value “1”.

Example

All these exemples are snippets PNG, you can drop these Snippet onto the block diagram and get the depicted code added to your VI (Do not forget to install HAIBAL library to run it).

LSTM layer inside TimeDistributed layer

1 – Generate a set of data

We generate an array of data of type single and shape [batch_size = 10, time = 6, timesteps = 7, features = 5].

2 – Define graph

First, we define the first layer of the graph which is an Input layer (explicit input layer method). This layer is setup as an input array shaped [time = 6, timesteps = 7, features = 5].
Then, we add to the graph the TimeDistributed layer which we setup with a LSTM layer using the define method.

3 – Run graph

We call the forward method and retrieve the result with the “Prediction 3D” method.
This method returns two variables, the first one is the layer information (cluster composed of the layer name, the graph index and the shape of the output layer) and the second one is the prediction with a shape of [batch_size, time, units].
The output dimension depends on the parameters “return-sequences”, refer to the chapter “Dimension” of “add to graph” documentation.
