tf.keras.initializers.LecunNormal

Lecun normal initializer.

Inherits From: VarianceScaling, Initializer

tf.keras.initializers.LecunNormal(
    seed=None
)

Also available via the shortcut function tf.keras.initializers.lecun_normal.

Initializers allow you to pre-specify an initialization strategy, encoded in the Initializer object, without knowing the shape and dtype of the variable being initialized.

Draws samples from a truncated normal distribution centered on 0 with stddev = sqrt(1 / fan_in) where fan_in is the number of input units in the weight tensor.

Examples:

# Standalone usage:
initializer = tf.keras.initializers.LecunNormal()
values = initializer(shape=(2, 2))
 
# Usage in a Keras layer:
initializer = tf.keras.initializers.LecunNormal()
layer = tf.keras.layers.Dense(3, kernel_initializer=initializer)

seed A Python integer. Used to make the behavior of the initializer deterministic. Note that a seeded initializer will not produce the same random values across multiple calls, but multiple initializers will produce the same sequence when constructed with the same seed value.

Methods

from_config

View source

@classmethod
from_config(
    config
)

Instantiates an initializer from a configuration dictionary.

Example:

initializer = RandomUniform(-1, 1)
config = initializer.get_config()
initializer = RandomUniform.from_config(config)

Args
config A Python dictionary, the output of get_config.

Returns
A tf.keras.initializers.Initializer instance.

get_config

View source

get_config()

Returns the initializer's configuration as a JSON-serializable dict.

Returns
A JSON-serializable Python dict.

__call__

View source

__call__(
    shape, dtype=None, **kwargs
)

Returns a tensor object initialized as specified by the initializer.

Args
shape Shape of the tensor.
dtype Optional dtype of the tensor. Only floating point types are supported. If not specified, tf.keras.backend.floatx() is used, which default to float32 unless you configured it otherwise (via tf.keras.backend.set_floatx(float_dtype))
**kwargs Additional keyword arguments.
