initializer_variance_scaling {keras3}

Initializer that adapts its scale to the shape of its input tensors.

Description

With ⁠distribution = "truncated_normal" or "untruncated_normal"⁠, samples are drawn from a truncated/untruncated normal distribution with a mean of zero and a standard deviation (after truncation, if used) stddev = sqrt(scale / n), where n is:

• number of input units in the weight tensor, if mode = "fan_in"

• number of output units, if mode = "fan_out"

• average of the numbers of input and output units, if mode = "fan_avg"

With distribution = "uniform", samples are drawn from a uniform distribution within ⁠[-limit, limit]⁠, where limit = sqrt(3 * scale / n).

Usage

initializer_variance_scaling(
  scale = 1,
  mode = "fan_in",
  distribution = "truncated_normal",
  seed = NULL
)

Arguments

scale

Scaling factor (positive float).

mode

One of "fan_in", "fan_out", "fan_avg".

distribution

Random distribution to use. One of "truncated_normal", "untruncated_normal", or "uniform".

seed

An integer or instance of random_seed_generator(). Used to make the behavior of the initializer deterministic. Note that an initializer seeded with an integer or NULL (unseeded) will produce the same random values across multiple calls. To get different random values across multiple calls, use as seed an instance of random_seed_generator().

Value

An Initializer instance that can be passed to layer or variable constructors, or called directly with a shape to return a Tensor.

Examples

# Standalone usage:
initializer <- initializer_variance_scaling(scale = 0.1, mode = 'fan_in',
                                            distribution = 'uniform')
values <- initializer(shape = c(2, 2))

# Usage in a Keras layer:
initializer <- initializer_variance_scaling(scale = 0.1, mode = 'fan_in',
                                            distribution = 'uniform')
layer <- layer_dense(units = 3, kernel_initializer = initializer)
