Interface Layer<O extends TensorBase>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractLayer, ConvolutionalLayer, FlattenLayer, FullyConnectedLayer, InputLayer, MaxPoolingLayer, OutputLayer, SoftmaxOutputLayer

public interface Layer<O extends TensorBase>

Common base interface for all types of neural network layers. Layer is a basic building block of a neural network

invalid reference

NeuralNetwork

. Neural network typically consists of a sequence of layers. Layer performs mathematical operations on it's inputs, and provides output to yhe next layer as an input.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	backward()	Performs weight parameters adjustment in backward pass during training of a neural network.
void	forward()	Performs layer calculation in forward pass of a neural network.
O	getDeltas()	Returns layer deltas/errors (as a tensor).
O	getOutputs()	Returns layer outputs (as a tensor).

Method Details

forward

void forward()

Performs layer calculation in forward pass of a neural network.

backward

void backward()

Performs weight parameters adjustment in backward pass during training of a neural network.

getOutputs

O getOutputs()

Returns layer outputs (as a tensor).

Returns:

layer output as a tensor

getDeltas

O getDeltas()

Returns layer deltas/errors (as a tensor). Deltas are accumulated errors propagated from the next layer.

Returns:

layer deltas tensor
