Performs fractional max pooling on the input. (deprecated)
This is a deprecated version of fractional_max_pool
.
Fractional max pooling is slightly different than regular max pooling. In regular max pooling, you downsize an input set by taking the maximum value of smaller N x N subsections of the set (often 2x2), and try to reduce the set by a factor of N, where N is an integer. Fractional max pooling, as you might expect from the word "fractional", means that the overall reduction ratio N does not have to be an integer.
The sizes of the pooling regions are generated randomly but are fairly uniform. For example, let's look at the height dimension, and the constraints on the list of rows that will be pool boundaries.
First we define the following:
- input_row_length : the number of rows from the input set
- output_row_length : which will be smaller than the input
- alpha = input_row_length / output_row_length : our reduction ratio
- K = floor(alpha)
- row_pooling_sequence : this is the result list of pool boundary rows
Then, row_pooling_sequence should satisfy:
- a[0] = 0 : the first value of the sequence is 0
- a[end] = input_row_length : the last value of the sequence is the size
- K <= (a[i+1] - a[i]) <= K+1 : all intervals are K or K+1 size
- length(row_pooling_sequence) = output_row_length+1

Args:
value
: ATensor
. 4-D with shape[batch, height, width, channels]
.pooling_ratio
: A list offloats
that has length >= 4. Pooling ratio for each dimension ofvalue
, currently only supports row and col dimension and should be >= 1.0. For example, a valid pooling ratio looks like [1.0, 1.44, 1.73, 1.0]. The first and last elements must be 1.0 because we don't allow pooling on batch and channels dimensions. 1.44 and 1.73 are pooling ratio on height and width dimensions respectively.pseudo_random
: An optionalbool
. Defaults toFalse
. When set toTrue
, generates the pooling sequence in a pseudorandom fashion, otherwise, in a random fashion. Check paper Benjamin Graham, Fractional Max-Pooling for difference between pseudorandom and random.overlapping
: An optionalbool
. Defaults toFalse
. When set toTrue
, it means when pooling, the values at the boundary of adjacent pooling cells are used by both cells. For example:index 0 1 2 3 4
value 20 5 16 3 7
If the pooling sequence is [0, 2, 4], then 16, at index 2 will be used twice. The result would be [20, 16] for fractional max pooling.deterministic
: An optionalbool
. Deprecated; usefractional_max_pool_v2
instead.seed
: An optionalint
. Defaults to0
. If set to be non-zero, the random number generator is seeded by the given seed. Otherwise it is seeded by a random seed.seed2
: An optionalint
. Deprecated; usefractional_max_pool_v2
instead.name
: A name for the operation (optional).
