chainer.initializers.generate_array

chainer.initializers.generate_array(initializer, shape, xp)

Return initialized array.

The algorithms used to make the new values depend on the concrete derived classes. The dtype of a generated array depends on initializer.dtype.

Parameters:

• initializer – A callable object that takes numpy.ndarray or cupy.ndarray and edits its value.
• shape (tuple) – Shape of a return array.
• xp (module) – cupy or numpy.

Returns:

An initialized array.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray or cupy.ndarray
