tfc.layers.Parameter

Reparameterized Layer variable.

tfc.layers.Parameter(
    name=None
)

This object represents a parameter of a tf.keras.layer.Layer object which isn't directly stored in a tf.Variable, but can be represented as a function (of any number of tf.Variable attributes).

name Returns the name of this module as passed or determined in the ctor.
name_scope Returns a tf.name_scope instance for this class.
non_trainable_variables Sequence of non-trainable variables owned by this module and its submodules.
submodules Sequence of all sub-modules.

Submodules are modules which are properties of this module, or found as properties of modules which are properties of this module (and so on).

a = tf.Module()
b = tf.Module()
c = tf.Module()
a.b = b
b.c = c
list(a.submodules) == [b, c]
True
list(b.submodules) == [c]
True
list(c.submodules) == []
True

trainable_variables Sequence of trainable variables owned by this module and its submodules.
variables Sequence of variables owned by this module and its submodules.

Methods

get_config

@abc.abstractmethod
get_config()

Returns the configuration of the Parameter.

get_weights()

set_weights(
    weights
)

with_name_scope

@classmethod
with_name_scope(
    method
)

Decorator to automatically enter the module name scope.

class MyModule(tf.Module):
  @tf.Module.with_name_scope
  def __call__(self, x):
    if not hasattr(self, 'w'):
      self.w = tf.Variable(tf.random.normal([x.shape[1], 3]))
    return tf.matmul(x, self.w)

Using the above module would produce tf.Variables and tf.Tensors whose names included the module name:

mod = MyModule()
mod(tf.ones([1, 2]))
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1, 3), dtype=float32, numpy=..., dtype=float32)>
mod.w
<tf.Variable 'my_module/Variable:0' shape=(2, 3) dtype=float32,
numpy=..., dtype=float32)>

Args
method The method to wrap.

Returns
The original method wrapped such that it enters the module's name scope.

__call__

View source

@abc.abstractmethod
__call__(
    compute_dtype=None
)

Computes and returns the parameter value as a tf.Tensor.
