tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN

Class SimpleRNN

Inherits From: RNN

Defined in tensorflow/python/keras/layers/recurrent.py.

Fully-connected RNN where the output is to be fed back to input.

Arguments:

  • units: Positive integer, dimensionality of the output space.
  • activation: Activation function to use. Default: hyperbolic tangent (tanh). If you pass None, no activation is applied (ie. "linear" activation: a(x) = x).
  • use_bias: Boolean, whether the layer uses a bias vector.
  • kernel_initializer: Initializer for the kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the inputs.
  • recurrent_initializer: Initializer for the recurrent_kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
  • bias_initializer: Initializer for the bias vector.
  • kernel_regularizer: Regularizer function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
  • recurrent_regularizer: Regularizer function applied to the recurrent_kernel weights matrix.
  • bias_regularizer: Regularizer function applied to the bias vector.
  • activity_regularizer: Regularizer function applied to the output of the layer (its "activation")..
  • kernel_constraint: Constraint function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
  • recurrent_constraint: Constraint function applied to the recurrent_kernel weights matrix.
  • bias_constraint: Constraint function applied to the bias vector.
  • dropout: Float between 0 and 1. Fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the inputs.
  • recurrent_dropout: Float between 0 and 1. Fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
  • return_sequences: Boolean. Whether to return the last output in the output sequence, or the full sequence.
  • return_state: Boolean. Whether to return the last state in addition to the output.
  • go_backwards: Boolean (default False). If True, process the input sequence backwards and return the reversed sequence.
  • stateful: Boolean (default False). 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.
  • unroll: Boolean (default False). If True, the network will be unrolled, else a symbolic loop will be used. Unrolling can speed-up a RNN, although it tends to be more memory-intensive. Unrolling is only suitable for short sequences.

Methods

__setattr__(
    name,
    value
)

Implement setattr(self, name, value).

tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN.apply

apply(
    inputs,
    *args,
    **kwargs
)

Apply the layer on a input.

This is an alias of self.__call__.

Arguments:

  • inputs: Input tensor(s).
  • *args: additional positional arguments to be passed to self.call.
  • **kwargs: additional keyword arguments to be passed to self.call.

Returns:

Output tensor(s).

tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN.build

build(input_shape)

Creates the variables of the layer (optional, for subclass implementers).

This is a method that implementers of subclasses of Layer or Model can override if they need a state-creation step in-between layer instantiation and layer call.

This is typically used to create the weights of Layer subclasses.

Arguments:

  • input_shape: Instance of TensorShape, or list of instances of TensorShape if the layer expects a list of inputs (one instance per input).

tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN.compute_mask

compute_mask(
    inputs,
    mask
)

Computes an output mask tensor.

Arguments:

  • inputs: Tensor or list of tensors.
  • mask: Tensor or list of tensors.

Returns:

None or a tensor (or list of tensors, one per output tensor of the layer).

tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN.compute_output_shape

compute_output_shape(input_shape)

Computes the output shape of the layer.

Assumes that the layer will be built to match that input shape provided.

Arguments:

  • input_shape: Shape tuple (tuple of integers) or list of shape tuples (one per output tensor of the layer). Shape tuples can include None for free dimensions, instead of an integer.

Returns:

An input shape tuple.

tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN.count_params

count_params()

Count the total number of scalars composing the weights.

Returns:

An integer count.

Raises:

  • ValueError: if the layer isn't yet built (in which case its weights aren't yet defined).

tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN.from_config

@classmethod
from_config(
    cls,
    config
)

Creates a layer from its config.

This method is the reverse of get_config, capable of instantiating the same layer from the config dictionary. It does not handle layer connectivity (handled by Network), nor weights (handled by set_weights).

Arguments:

  • config: A Python dictionary, typically the output of get_config.

Returns:

A layer instance.

tf.keras.layers.SimpleRNN.get_config

get_config()

Returns the config of the layer.

A layer config is a Python dictionary (serializable) containing the configuration of a layer. The same layer can be reinstantiated later (without its trained weights) from this configuration.

The config of a layer does not include connectivity information, nor the layer class name. These are handled by Network (one layer of abstraction above).

Returns:

Python dictionary.
