chainerx.conv_transpose

chainerx.conv_transpose(x, w, b=None, stride=1, pad=0, outsize=None)

N-dimensional transposed convolution.

This is an implementation of N-dimensional transposed convolution, which is previously known as deconvolution in Chainer.

It takes three arrays: the input x, the filter weight w, and the bias vector b.

Notation: here is a notation for dimensionalities.

  • \(N\) is the number of spatial dimensions.

  • \(n\) is the batch size.

  • \(c_I\) and \(c_O\) are the number of the input and output channels, respectively.

  • \(d_1, d_2, ..., d_N\) are the size of each axis of the input’s spatial dimensions, respectively.

  • \(k_1, k_2, ..., k_N\) are the size of each axis of the filters, respectively.

  • \(p_1, p_2, ..., p_N\) are the size of each axis of the spatial padding size, respectively.

  • \(s_1, s_2, ..., s_N\) are the stride of each axis of filter application, respectively.

If outsize option is None, the output size \((l_1, l_2, ..., l_N)\) is determined by the following equations with the items in the above list:

\[l_n = s_n (d_n - 1) + k_n - 2 p_n \ \ (n = 1, ..., N)\]

If outsize option is given, the output size is determined by outsize. In this case, the outsize \((l_1, l_2, ..., l_N)\) must satisfy the following equations:

\[d_n = \lfloor (l_n + 2p_n - k_n) / s_n \rfloor + 1 \ \ (n = 1, ..., N)\]
Parameters

  • x (ndarray) – Input array of shape \((n, c_I, d_1, d_2, ..., d_N)\).

  • w (ndarray) – Weight array of shape \((c_I, c_O, k_1, k_2, ..., k_N)\).

  • b (None or ndarray) – One-dimensional bias array with length \(c_O\) (optional).

  • stride (int or tuple of int s) – Stride of filter applications \((s_1, s_2, ..., s_N)\). stride=s is equivalent to (s, s, ..., s).

  • pad (int or tuple of int s) – Spatial padding width for input arrays \((p_1, p_2, ..., p_N)\). pad=p is equivalent to (p, p, ..., p).

  • outsize (None or tuple of int s) – Expected output size of deconvolutional operation. It should be a tuple of ints \((l_1, l_2, ..., l_N)\). Default value is None and the outsize is estimated by input size, stride and pad.

Returns

Output array of shape \((n, c_O, l_1, l_2, ..., l_N)\).

Return type

ndarray

Note

During backpropagation, this function propagates the gradient of the output array to input arrays x, w, and b.
