SimpleRNN

Description

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

 

Input parameters

 

Β parameters : layer parameters.

Β units : integer, dimensionality of the output space.
Β activation :Β enum, activation function to use.
Default value β€œtanh”.
Β use_bias? :Β boolean, whether the layer uses a bias vector.
Default value β€œTrue”.
input_weight_initializer :Β enum, initializer for the kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the inputs.
Default value β€œglorot_uniform”.
Β hidden_weight_initializer :Β enum, initializer for the recurrent_kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
Default value β€œorthogonal”.
Β bias_initializerΒ :Β enum, initializer for the bias vector.
Default value β€œzeros”.
Β dropoutΒ :Β float, fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the inputs.
Default value β€œ0.0”.
Β recurrent_dropout :Β float, fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
Default value β€œ0.0”.
Β return_sequences?Β :Β boolean, whether to return the last output in the output sequence, or the full sequence.
Default value β€œFalse”.
Β stateful?Β :Β 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 β€œFalse”.
Β optimizer :

Β algorithm :Β enum, (name of optimizer) for optimizer instance.
Default value β€œadam”.
Β learning_rate :Β float, define the learning rate to use.
Default value β€œ0.001”.
Β beta_1 :Β float, define the exponential decay rate for the 1st moment estimates.
Default value β€œ0.9”.
Β beta_2 :Β float, define the exponential decay rate for the 2nd moment estimates.
Default value β€œ0.999”.

Β training?Β :Β boolean, whether the layer is in training mode (can store data for backward).
Default value β€œTrue”.
Β store?Β :Β boolean, whether the layer stores the last iteration gradient (accessible via the β€œget_gradients” function).
Default value β€œFalse”.
Β update?Β :Β boolean, whether the layer’s variables should be updated during backward. Equivalent to freeze the layer.
Default value β€œTrue”.
Β lda_coeff :Β 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 β€œ1”.

SimpleRNN 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 SimpleRNN layer using the define method.

3 – Run graph

We call the forward method and retrieve the result with the β€œPrediction 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 β€œreturn-sequences”, refer to the chapter β€œDimension” of β€œadd to graph” documentation.
