chainer.links.Bias¶
-
class
chainer.links.
Bias
(axis=1, shape=None)[source]¶ Broadcasted elementwise summation with learnable parameters.
Computes a elementwise summation as
bias()
function does except that its second input is a learnable bias parameter \(b\) the link has.Parameters: - axis (int) – The first axis of the first input of
bias()
function along which its second input is applied. - shape (tuple of ints) – Shape of the learnable bias parameter. If
None
, this link does not have learnable parameters so an explicit bias needs to be given to its__call__
method’s second input.
See also
See
bias()
for details.Variables: b (Variable) – Bias parameter if shape
is given. Otherwise, no attributes.Methods
-
__call__
(*xs)[source]¶ Applies broadcasted elementwise summation.
Parameters: xs (list of Variables) – Input variables whose length should be one if the link has a learnable bias parameter, otherwise should be two.
-
add_param
(name, shape=None, dtype=<type 'numpy.float32'>, initializer=None)[source]¶ Registers a parameter to the link.
Deprecated since version v2.0.0: Assign a
Parameter
object directly to an attribute withinan initialization scope
instead. For example, the following codelink.add_param('W', shape=(5, 3))
can be replaced by the following assignment.
with self.init_scope(): link.W = chainer.Parameter(None, (5, 3))
The latter one is easier for IDEs to keep track of the attribute’s type.
Parameters: - name (str) – Name of the parameter. This name is also used as the attribute name.
- shape (int or tuple of ints) – Shape of the parameter array. If it is omitted, the parameter variable is left uninitialized.
- dtype – Data type of the parameter array.
- initializer – If it is not
None
, the data is initialized with the given initializer. If it is an array, the data is directly initialized by it. If it is callable, it is used as a weight initializer. Note that in these cases,dtype
argument is ignored.
-
add_persistent
(name, value)[source]¶ Registers a persistent value to the link.
The registered value is saved and loaded on serialization and deserialization. The value is set to an attribute of the link.
Parameters: - name (str) – Name of the persistent value. This name is also used for the attribute name.
- value – Value to be registered.
-
addgrads
(link)[source]¶ Accumulates gradient values from given link.
This method adds each gradient array of the given link to corresponding gradient array of this link. The accumulation is even done across host and different devices.
Parameters: link (Link) – Source link object.
-
children
()[source]¶ Returns a generator of all child links.
Returns: A generator object that generates all child links.
-
cleargrads
()[source]¶ Clears all gradient arrays.
This method should be called before the backward computation at every iteration of the optimization.
-
copy
()[source]¶ Copies the link hierarchy to new one.
The whole hierarchy rooted by this link is copied. The copy is basically shallow, except that the parameter variables are also shallowly copied. It means that the parameter variables of copied one are different from ones of original link, while they share the data and gradient arrays.
The name of the link is reset on the copy, since the copied instance does not belong to the original parent chain (even if exists).
Returns: Copied link object. Return type: Link
-
copyparams
(link)[source]¶ Copies all parameters from given link.
This method copies data arrays of all parameters in the hierarchy. The copy is even done across the host and devices. Note that this method does not copy the gradient arrays.
Parameters: link (Link) – Source link object.
-
disable_update
()[source]¶ Disables update rules of all parameters under the link hierarchy.
This method sets the :attr:~chainer.UpdateRule.enabled` flag of the update rule of each parameter variable to
False
.
-
enable_update
()[source]¶ Enables update rules of all parameters under the link hierarchy.
This method sets the
enabled
flag of the update rule of each parameter variable toTrue
.
-
init_scope
(*args, **kwds)[source]¶ Creates an initialization scope.
This method returns a context manager object that enables registration of parameters (and links for
Chain
) by an assignment. AParameter
object can be automatically registered by assigning it to an attribute under this context manager.Example
In most cases, the parameter registration is done in the initializer method. Using the
init_scope
method, we can simply assign aParameter
object to register it to the link.class MyLink(chainer.Link): def __init__(self): super().__init__() with self.init_scope(): self.W = chainer.Parameter(0, (10, 5)) self.b = chainer.Parameter(0, (5,))
-
links
(skipself=False)[source]¶ Returns a generator of all links under the hierarchy.
Parameters: skipself (bool) – If True
, then the generator skips this link and starts with the first child link.Returns: A generator object that generates all links.
-
namedlinks
(skipself=False)[source]¶ Returns a generator of all (path, link) pairs under the hierarchy.
Parameters: skipself (bool) – If True
, then the generator skips this link and starts with the first child link.Returns: A generator object that generates all (path, link) pairs.
-
namedparams
(include_uninit=True)[source]¶ Returns a generator of all (path, param) pairs under the hierarchy.
Parameters: include_uninit (bool) – If True
, it also generates uninitialized parameters.Returns: A generator object that generates all (path, parameter) pairs. The paths are relative from this link.
-
params
(include_uninit=True)[source]¶ Returns a generator of all parameters under the link hierarchy.
Parameters: include_uninit (bool) – If True
, it also generates uninitialized parameters.Returns: A generator object that generates all parameters.
-
register_persistent
(name)[source]¶ Registers an attribute of a given name as a persistent value.
This is a convenient method to register an existing attribute as a persistent value. If
name
has been already registered as a parameter, this method removes it from the list of parameter names and re-registers it as a persistent value.Parameters: name (str) – Name of the attribute to be registered.
-
serialize
(serializer)[source]¶ Serializes the link object.
Parameters: serializer (AbstractSerializer) – Serializer object.
-
to_cpu
()[source]¶ Copies parameter variables and persistent values to CPU.
This method does not handle non-registered attributes. If some of such attributes must be copied to CPU, the link implementation must override this method to do so.
Returns: self
-
to_gpu
(device=None)[source]¶ Copies parameter variables and persistent values to GPU.
This method does not handle non-registered attributes. If some of such attributes must be copied to GPU, the link implementation must override this method to do so.
Parameters: device – Target device specifier. If omitted, the current device is used. Returns: self
-
zerograds
()[source]¶ Initializes all gradient arrays by zero.
This method can be used for the same purpose of cleargrads, but less efficient. This method is left for backward compatibility.
Deprecated since version v1.15: Use
cleargrads()
instead.
Attributes

update_enabled
¶ True
if at least one parameter has an update rule enabled.

¶ True if the current code is inside of an initialization scope.
See
