This section describes some common Tensor transformations for reshaping and type-casting.

tf.batchToSpaceND (x, blockShape, crops) function Source

This operation reshapes the "batch" dimension 0 into M + 1 dimensions of shape blockShape + [batch], interleaves these blocks back into the grid defined by the spatial dimensions [1, ..., M], to obtain a result with the same rank as the input. The spatial dimensions of this intermediate result are then optionally cropped according to crops to produce the output. This is the reverse of tf.spaceToBatchND(). See below for a precise description.

const x = tf.tensor4d([1, 2, 3, 4], [4, 1, 1, 1]);
const blockShape = [2, 2];
const crops = [[0, 0], [0, 0]];

x.batchToSpaceND(blockShape, crops).print();
Parameters:
  • x (tf.Tensor|TypedArray|Array) A tf.Tensor. N-D with x.shape = [batch] + spatialShape + remainingShape, where spatialShape has M dimensions.
  • blockShape (number[]) A 1-D array. Must have shape [M], all values must be >= 1.
  • crops (number[][]) A 2-D array. Must have shape [M, 2], all values must be >= 0. crops[i] = [cropStart, cropEnd] specifies the amount to crop from input dimension i + 1, which corresponds to spatial dimension i. It is required that cropStart[i] + cropEnd[i] <= blockShape[i] * inputShape[i + 1]

    This operation is equivalent to the following steps:

    1. Reshape x to reshaped of shape: [blockShape[0], ..., blockShape[M-1], batch / prod(blockShape), x.shape[1], ..., x.shape[N-1]]

    2. Permute dimensions of reshapedto produce permuted of shape [batch / prod(blockShape),x.shape[1], blockShape[0], ..., x.shape[M], blockShape[M-1],x.shape[M+1], ..., x.shape[N-1]]

    3. Reshape permuted to produce reshapedPermuted of shape [batch / prod(blockShape),x.shape[1] * blockShape[0], ..., x.shape[M] * blockShape[M-1],x.shape[M+1], ..., x.shape[N-1]]

    4. Crop the start and end of dimensions [1, ..., M] of reshapedPermuted according to crops to produce the output of shape: [batch / prod(blockShape),x.shape[1] * blockShape[0] - crops[0,0] - crops[0,1], ..., x.shape[M] * blockShape[M-1] - crops[M-1,0] - crops[M-1,1],x.shape[M+1], ..., x.shape[N-1]]

Returns: tf.Tensor
tf.broadcastTo (x, shape) function Source

If input.shape[i]==shape[i], the (i+1)-th axis is already broadcast-compatible. If input.shape[i]==1 and shape[i]==N, then the input tensor is tiled N times along that axis (using tf.tile).

Parameters:
Returns: tf.Tensor

Returns: tf.Tensor
tf.depthToSpace (x, blockSize, dataFormat?) function Source

Rearranges data from depth into blocks of spatial data. More specifically, this op outputs a copy of the input tensor where values from the depth dimension are moved in spatial blocks to the height and width dimensions. The attr blockSize indicates the input block size and how the data is moved.

  • Chunks of data of size blockSize * blockSize from depth are rearranged into non-overlapping blocks of size blockSize x blockSize

  • The width the output tensor is inputWidth * blockSize, whereas the height is inputHeight * blockSize

Parameters:
  • x (tf.Tensor|TypedArray|Array) The tensor to pad.
  • paddings (Array) An array of length R (the rank of the tensor), where each element is a length-2 tuple of ints [padBefore, padAfter], specifying how much to pad along each dimension of the tensor. In "reflect" mode, the padded regions do not include the borders, while in "symmetric" mode the padded regions do include the borders. For example, if the input is [1, 2, 3] and paddings is [0, 2], then the output is [1, 2, 3, 2, 1] in "reflect" mode, and [1, 2, 3, 3, 2] in "symmetric" mode. If mode is "reflect" then both paddings[D, 0] and paddings[D, 1] must be no greater than x.shape[D] - 1. If mode is "symmetric" then both paddings[D, 0] and paddings[D, 1] must be no greater than x.shape[D]

If one component of shape is the special value -1, the size of that dimension is computed so that the total size remains constant. In particular, a shape of [-1] flattens into 1-D. At most one component of shape can be -1.

If shape is 1-D or higher, then the operation returns a tensor with shape shape filled with the values of tensor. In this case, the number of elements implied by shape must be the same as the number of elements in tensor.

const x = tf.tensor1d([1, 2, 3, 4]);
x.reshape([2, 2]).print();
Parameters:
  • x (tf.Tensor|TypedArray|Array) The input tensor to be reshaped.
  • shape (number[]) An array of integers defining the output tensor shape.
Returns: tf.Tensor
tf.setdiff1dAsync (x, y) function Source

Computes the difference between two lists of numbers.

Given a Tensor x and a Tensor y, this operation returns a Tensor out that represents all values that are in x but not in y. The returned Tensor out is sorted in the same order that the numbers appear in x (duplicates are preserved). This operation also returns a Tensor indices that represents the position of each out element in x. In other words:

out[i] = x[idx[i]] for i in [0, 1, ..., out.length - 1]

const x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
const y = [1, 3, 5];

const [out, indices] = await tf.setdiff1dAsync(x, y);
out.print(); // [2, 4, 6]
indices.print(); // [1, 3, 5]
Parameters:
Returns: Promise<[tf.Tensor, tf.Tensor]>
tf.spaceToBatchND (x, blockShape, paddings) function Source

This operation divides "spatial" dimensions [1, ..., M] of the input into a grid of blocks of shape blockShape, and interleaves these blocks with the "batch" dimension (0) such that in the output, the spatial dimensions [1, ..., M] correspond to the position within the grid, and the batch dimension combines both the position within a spatial block and the original batch position. Prior to division into blocks, the spatial dimensions of the input are optionally zero padded according to paddings. See below for a precise description.

const x = tf.tensor4d([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 2, 1]);
const blockShape = [2, 2];
const paddings = [[0, 0], [0, 0]];

x.spaceToBatchND(blockShape, paddings).print();
Parameters:
  • x (tf.Tensor|TypedArray|Array) A tf.Tensor. N-D with x.shape = [batch] + spatialShape + remainingShape, where spatialShape has M dimensions.
  • blockShape (number[]) A 1-D array. Must have shape [M], all values must be >= 1.
  • paddings (number[][]) A 2-D array. Must have shape [M, 2], all values must be >= 0. paddings[i] = [padStart, padEnd] specifies the amount to zero-pad from input dimension i + 1, which corresponds to spatial dimension i. It is required that (inputShape[i + 1] + padStart + padEnd) % blockShape[i] === 0

    This operation is equivalent to the following steps:

    1. Zero-pad the start and end of dimensions [1, ..., M] of the input according to paddings to produce padded of shape paddedShape.

    2. Reshape padded to reshapedPadded of shape: [batch] + [paddedShape[1] / blockShape[0], blockShape[0], ..., paddedShape[M] / blockShape[M-1], blockShape[M-1]] + remainingShape

    3. Permute dimensions of reshapedPadded to produce permutedReshapedPadded of shape: blockShape + [batch] + [paddedShape[1] / blockShape[0], ..., paddedShape[M] / blockShape[M-1]] + remainingShape

    4. Reshape permutedReshapedPadded to flatten blockShape into the batch dimension, producing an output tensor of shape: [batch * prod(blockShape)] + [paddedShape[1] / blockShape[0], ..., paddedShape[M] / blockShape[M-1]] + remainingShape

Returns: tf.Tensor

Models are one of the primary abstractions used in TensorFlow.js Layers. Models can be trained, evaluated, and used for prediction. A model's state (topology, and optionally, trained weights) can be restored from various formats.

Models are a collection of Layers, see Model Creation for details about how Layers can be connected.

There are two primary ways of creating models.

  • Sequential — Easiest, works if the models is a simple stack of each layer's input resting on the top of the previous layer's output.
  • Model — Offers more control if the layers need to be wired together in graph-like ways — multiple 'towers', layers that skip a layer, etc.
tf.sequential (config?) function Source

Creates a tf.Sequential model. A sequential model is any model where the outputs of one layer are the inputs to the next layer, i.e. the model topology is a simple 'stack' of layers, with no branching or skipping.

This means that the first layer passed to a tf.Sequential model should have a defined input shape. What that means is that it should have received an inputShape or batchInputShape argument, or for some type of layers (recurrent, Dense...) an inputDim argument.

The key difference between tf.model() and tf.sequential() is that tf.sequential() is less generic, supporting only a linear stack of layers. tf.model() is more generic and supports an arbitrary graph (without cycles) of layers.

Examples:

const model = tf.sequential();

// First layer must have an input shape defined.
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 32, inputShape: [50]}));
// Afterwards, TF.js does automatic shape inference.
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 4}));

// Inspect the inferred shape of the model's output, which equals
// `[null, 4]`. The 1st dimension is the undetermined batch dimension; the
// 2nd is the output size of the model's last layer.
console.log(JSON.stringify(model.outputs[0].shape));

It is also possible to specify a batch size (with potentially undetermined batch dimension, denoted by "null") for the first layer using the batchInputShape key. The following example is equivalent to the above:

const model = tf.sequential();

// First layer must have a defined input shape
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 32, batchInputShape: [null, 50]}));
// Afterwards, TF.js does automatic shape inference.
model.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 4}));

// Inspect the inferred shape of the model's output.
console.log(JSON.stringify(model.outputs[0].shape));

You can also use an Array of already-constructed Layers to create a tf.Sequential model:

const model = tf.sequential({
   layers: [tf.layers.dense({units: 32, inputShape: [50]}),
            tf.layers.dense({units: 4})]
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(model.outputs[0].shape));
Parameters:
  • config (Object) Optional
  • layers (tf.layers.Layer[]) Stack of layers for the model.
  • name (string) The name of this model.
Returns: tf.Sequential
tf.model (args) function Source

A model is a data structure that consists of Layers and defines inputs and outputs.

The key difference between tf.model() and tf.sequential() is that tf.model() is more generic, supporting an arbitrary graph (without cycles) of layers. tf.sequential() is less generic and supports only a linear stack of layers.

When creating a tf.LayersModel, specify its input(s) and output(s). Layers are used to wire input(s) to output(s).

For example, the following code snippet defines a model consisting of two dense layers, with 10 and 4 units, respectively.

// Define input, which has a size of 5 (not including batch dimension).
const input = tf.input({shape: [5]});

// First dense layer uses relu activation.
const denseLayer1 = tf.layers.dense({units: 10, activation: 'relu'});
// Second dense layer uses softmax activation.
const denseLayer2 = tf.layers.dense({units: 4, activation: 'softmax'});

// Obtain the output symbolic tensor by applying the layers on the input.
const output = denseLayer2.apply(denseLayer1.apply(input));

// Create the model based on the inputs.
const model = tf.model({inputs: input, outputs: output});

// The model can be used for training, evaluation and prediction.
// For example, the following line runs prediction with the model on
// some fake data.
model.predict(tf.ones([2, 5])).print();

See also: tf.sequential(), tf.loadLayersModel().

Parameters:
Returns: tf.LayersModel
tf.input (config) function Source

Used to instantiate an input to a model as a tf.SymbolicTensor.

Users should call the input factory function for consistency with other generator functions.

Example:

// Defines a simple logistic regression model with 32 dimensional input
// and 3 dimensional output.
const x = tf.input({shape: [32]});
const y = tf.layers.dense({units: 3, activation: 'softmax'}).apply(x);
const model = tf.model({inputs: x, outputs: y});
model.predict(tf.ones([2, 32])).print();

Note: input is only necessary when using model. When using sequential, specify inputShape for the first layer or use inputLayer as the first layer.

Parameters:
  • config (Object)
  • shape ((null | number)[]) A shape, not including the batch size. For instance, shape=[32] indicates that the expected input will be batches of 32-dimensional vectors.
  • batchShape ((null | number)[]) A shape tuple (integer), including the batch size. For instance, batchShape=[10, 32] indicates that the expected input will be batches of 10 32-dimensional vectors. batchShape=[null, 32] indicates batches of an arbitrary number of 32-dimensional vectors.
  • name (string) An optional name string for the layer. Should be unique in a model (do not reuse the same name twice). It will be autogenerated if it isn't provided.
  • dtype ('float32'|'int32'|'bool'|'complex64'|'string')
  • sparse (boolean) A boolean specifying whether the placeholder to be created is sparse.

    Setting this to true allows passing a TF-Hub module URL, omitting the standard model file name and the query parameters.

    Default: false.

For example: model.json URL: https://www.google.com/models/1/model.json group1-shard1of1.bin url: https://www.google.com/models/1/group1-shard1of1.bin

    With this func you can convert the weight file name to any URL.

Returns: Promise<tf.LayersModel>
tf.io.browserDownloads (fileNamePrefix?) function Source

Creates an IOHandler that triggers file downloads from the browser.

The returned IOHandler instance can be used as model exporting methods such as tf.Model.save and supports only saving.

const model = tf.sequential();
model.add(tf.layers.dense(
     {units: 1, inputShape: [10], activation: 'sigmoid'}));
const saveResult = await model.save('downloads://mymodel');
// This will trigger downloading of two files:
//   'mymodel.json' and 'mymodel.weights.bin'.
console.log(saveResult);
Parameters:
  • fileNamePrefix (string) Prefix name of the files to be downloaded. For use with tf.Model, fileNamePrefix should follow either of the following two formats:

    1. null or undefined, in which case the default file names will be used:
    • 'model.json' for the JSON file containing the model topology and weights manifest.
    • 'model.weights.bin' for the binary file containing the binary weight values.
    1. A single string or an Array of a single string, as the file name prefix. For example, if 'foo' is provided, the downloaded JSON file and binary weights file will be named 'foo.json' and 'foo.weights.bin', respectively.
    Optional
Returns: IOHandler
tf.io.browserFiles (files) function Source

Creates an IOHandler that loads model artifacts from user-selected files.

This method can be used for loading from files such as user-selected files in the browser. When used in conjunction with tf.loadLayersModel(), an instance of tf.LayersModel (Keras-style) can be constructed from the loaded artifacts.

// Note: This code snippet won't run properly without the actual file input
//   elements in the HTML DOM.

// Suppose there are two HTML file input (`<input type="file" ...>`)
// elements.
const uploadJSONInput = document.getElementById('upload-json');
const uploadWeightsInput = document.getElementById('upload-weights');
const model = await tf.loadLayersModel(tf.io.browserFiles(
     [uploadJSONInput.files[0], uploadWeightsInput.files[0]]));
Parameters:
  • files (File[]) Files to load from. Currently, this function supports only loading from files that contain Keras-style models (i.e., tf.Models), for which an Array of Files is expected (in that order):

    • A JSON file containing the model topology and weight manifest.
    • Optionally, One or more binary files containing the binary weights. These files must have names that match the paths in the weightsManifest contained by the aforementioned JSON file, or errors will be thrown during loading. These weights files have the same format as the ones generated by tensorflowjs_converter that comes with the tensorflowjs Python PIP package. If no weights files are provided, only the model topology will be loaded from the JSON file above.
Returns: IOHandler
tf.io.http (path, loadOptions?) function Source

Creates an IOHandler subtype that sends model artifacts to HTTP server.

An HTTP request of the multipart/form-data mime type will be sent to the path URL. The form data includes artifacts that represent the topology and/or weights of the model. In the case of Keras-style tf.Model, two blobs (files) exist in form-data:

  • A JSON file consisting of modelTopology and weightsManifest.
  • A binary weights file consisting of the concatenated weight values. These files are in the same format as the one generated by tfjs_converter.

The following code snippet exemplifies the client-side code that uses this function:

const model = tf.sequential();
model.add(
     tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [100], activation: 'sigmoid'}));

const saveResult = await model.save(tf.io.http(
     'http://model-server:5000/upload', {requestInit: {method: 'PUT'}}));
console.log(saveResult);

If the default POST method is to be used, without any custom parameters such as headers, you can simply pass an HTTP or HTTPS URL to model.save:

const saveResult = await model.save('http://model-server:5000/upload');

The following GitHub Gist https://gist.github.com/dsmilkov/1b6046fd6132d7408d5257b0976f7864 implements a server based on flask that can receive the request. Upon receiving the model artifacts via the requst, this particular server reconsistutes instances of Keras Models in memory.

Parameters:
  • path (string) A URL path to the model. Can be an absolute HTTP path (e.g., 'http://localhost:8000/model-upload)') or a relative path (e.g., './model-upload').
  • loadOptions (LoadOptions) Optional configuration for the loading. It includes the following fields:

    • weightPathPrefix Optional, this specifies the path prefix for weight files, by default this is calculated from the path param.
    • fetchFunc Optional, custom fetch function. E.g., in Node.js, the fetch from node-fetch can be used here.
    • onProgress Optional, progress callback function, fired periodically before the load is completed.
    Optional
Returns: IOHandler

  • artifacts (io.ModelArtifacts)
Returns: boolean
save (handlerOrURL, config?) method Source

Save the configuration and/or weights of the GraphModel.

An IOHandler is an object that has a save method of the proper signature defined. The save method manages the storing or transmission of serialized data ("artifacts") that represent the model's topology and weights onto or via a specific medium, such as file downloads, local storage, IndexedDB in the web browser and HTTP requests to a server. TensorFlow.js provides IOHandler implementations for a number of frequently used saving mediums, such as tf.io.browserDownloads() and tf.io.browserLocalStorage. See tf.io for more details.

This method also allows you to refer to certain types of IOHandlers as URL-like string shortcuts, such as 'localstorage://' and 'indexeddb://'.

Example 1: Save model's topology and weights to browser local storage; then load it back.

const modelUrl =
    'https://storage.googleapis.com/tfjs-models/savedmodel/mobilenet_v2_1.0_224/model.json';
const model = await tf.loadGraphModel(modelUrl);
const zeros = tf.zeros([1, 224, 224, 3]);
model.predict(zeros).print();

const saveResults = await model.save('localstorage://my-model-1');

const loadedModel = await tf.loadGraphModel('localstorage://my-model-1');

  • callbacks (BaseCallback[]|CustomCallbackArgs|CustomCallbackArgs[]) List of callbacks to be called during training. Can have one or more of the following callbacks:

    • onTrainBegin(logs): called when training starts.
    • onTrainEnd(logs): called when training ends.

    • onEpochEnd(epoch, logs): called at the end of every epoch.
    • onBatchBegin(batch, logs): called at the start of every batch.
    • onBatchEnd(batch, logs): called at the end of every batch.
    • onYield(epoch, batch, logs): called every yieldEvery milliseconds with the current epoch, batch and logs. The logs are the same as in onBatchEnd(). Note that onYield can skip batches or epochs. See also docs for yieldEvery below.
  • validationSplit (number) Float between 0 and 1: fraction of the training data to be used as validation data. The model will set apart this fraction of the training data, will not train on it, and will evaluate the loss and any model metrics on this data at the end of each epoch. The validation data is selected from the last samples in the x and y data provided, before shuffling.
  • validationData ([ tf.Tensor|tf.Tensor[], tf.Tensor|tf.Tensor[] ]|[tf.Tensor | tf.Tensor[], tf.Tensor|tf.Tensor[], tf.Tensor|tf.Tensor[]]) Data on which to evaluate the loss and any model metrics at the end of each epoch. The model will not be trained on this data. This could be a tuple [xVal, yVal] or a tuple [xVal, yVal, valSampleWeights]. The model will not be trained on this data. validationData will override validationSplit.
  • shuffle (boolean) Whether to shuffle the training data before each epoch. Has no effect when stepsPerEpoch is not null.
  • classWeight (ClassWeight|ClassWeight[]|ClassWeightMap) Optional object mapping class indices (integers) to a weight (float) to apply to the model's loss for the samples from this class during training. This can be useful to tell the model to "pay more attention" to samples from an under-represented class.

    If the model has multiple outputs, a class weight can be specified for each of the outputs by setting this field an array of weight object or a object that maps model output names (e.g., model.outputNames[0]) to weight objects.

  • sampleWeight (tf.Tensor) Optional array of the same length as x, containing weights to apply to the model's loss for each sample. In the case of temporal data, you can pass a 2D array with shape (samples, sequenceLength), to apply a different weight to every timestep of every sample. In this case you should make sure to specify sampleWeightMode="temporal" in compile().
  • initialEpoch (number) Epoch at which to start training (useful for resuming a previous training run). When this is used, epochs is the index of the "final epoch". The model is not trained for a number of iterations given by epochs, but merely until the epoch of index epochs is reached.
  • stepsPerEpoch (number) Total number of steps (batches of samples) before declaring one epoch finished and starting the next epoch. When training with Input Tensors such as TensorFlow data tensors, the default null is equal to the number of unique samples in your dataset divided by the batch size, or 1 if that cannot be determined.
  • validationSteps (number) Only relevant if stepsPerEpoch is specified. Total number of steps (batches of samples) to validate before stopping.
  • yieldEvery (YieldEveryOptions) Configures the frequency of yielding the main thread to other tasks.

    In the browser environment, yielding the main thread can improve the responsiveness of the page during training. In the Node.js environment, it can ensure tasks queued in the event loop can be handled in a timely manner.

    The value can be one of the following:

    • 'auto': The yielding happens at a certain frame rate (currently set at 125ms). This is the default.
    • 'batch': yield every batch.
    • 'epoch': yield every epoch.
    • any number: yield every number milliseconds.
    • 'never': never yield. (yielding can still happen through await nextFrame() calls in custom callbacks.)
Returns: Promise<History>
fitDataset (dataset, args) method Source

Trains the model using a dataset object.

Parameters:
  • dataset (tf.data.Dataset) A dataset object. Its iterator() method is expected to generate a dataset iterator object, the next() method of which is expected to produce data batches for training. The return value of the next() call ought to contain a boolean done field and a value field. The value field is expected to be an array of two tf.Tensors or an array of two nested tf.Tensor structures. The former case is for models with exactly one input and one output (e.g.. a sequential model). The latter case is for models with multiple inputs and/or multiple outputs. Of the two items in the array, the first is the input feature(s) and the second is the output target(s).
  • args (Object) A ModelFitDatasetArgs, containing optional fields.
  • batchesPerEpoch (number) (Optional) Total number of steps (batches of samples) before declaring one epoch finished and starting the next epoch. It should typically be equal to the number of samples of your dataset divided by the batch size, so that fitDataset() call can utilize the entire dataset. If it is not provided, use done return value in iterator.next() as signal to finish an epoch.
  • epochs (number) Integer number of times to iterate over the training dataset.
  • verbose (ModelLoggingVerbosity) Verbosity level.

    Expected to be 0, 1, or 2. Default: 1.

    0 - No printed message during fit() call. 1 - In Node.js (tfjs-node), prints the progress bar, together with real-time updates of loss and metric values and training speed. In the browser: no action. This is the default. 2 - Not implemented yet.

  • callbacks (BaseCallback[]|CustomCallbackArgs|CustomCallbackArgs[]) List of callbacks to be called during training. Can have one or more of the following callbacks:

    • onTrainBegin(logs): called when training starts.
    • onTrainEnd(logs): called when training ends.
    • onEpochBegin(epoch, logs): called at the start of every epoch.
    • onEpochEnd(epoch, logs): called at the end of every epoch.
    • onBatchBegin(batch, logs): called at the start of every batch.
    • onBatchEnd(batch, logs): called at the end of every batch.
    • onYield(epoch, batch, logs): called every yieldEvery milliseconds with the current epoch, batch and logs. The logs are the same as in onBatchEnd(). Note that onYield can skip batches or epochs. See also docs for yieldEvery below.
  • validationData ([ TensorOrArrayOrMap, TensorOrArrayOrMap ]|[TensorOrArrayOrMap, TensorOrArrayOrMap, TensorOrArrayOrMap]|tf.data.Dataset) Data on which to evaluate the loss and any model metrics at the end of each epoch. The model will not be trained on this data. This could be any of the following:

    • An array [xVal, yVal], where the two values may be tf.Tensor, an array of Tensors, or a map of string to Tensor.
    • Similarly, an array [xVal, yVal, valSampleWeights] (not implemented yet).
    • a Dataset object with elements of the form {xs: xVal, ys: yVal}, where xs and ys are the feature and label tensors, respectively.

    If validationData is an Array of Tensor objects, each tf.Tensor will be sliced into batches during validation, using the parameter validationBatchSize (which defaults to 32). The entirety of the tf.Tensor objects will be used in the validation.

    If validationData is a dataset object, and the validationBatches parameter is specified, the validation will use validationBatches batches drawn from the dataset object. If validationBatches parameter is not specified, the validation will stop when the dataset is exhausted.

    The model will not be trained on this data.

  • validationBatchSize (number) Optional batch size for validation.

    Used only if validationData is an array of tf.Tensor objects, i.e., not a dataset object.

    If not specified, its value defaults to 32.

  • validationBatches (number) (Optional) Only relevant if validationData is specified and is a dataset object.

    Total number of batches of samples to draw from validationData for validation purpose before stopping at the end of every epoch. If not specified, evaluateDataset will use iterator.next().done as signal to stop validation.

  • yieldEvery (YieldEveryOptions) Configures the frequency of yielding the main thread to other tasks.

    In the browser environment, yielding the main thread can improve the responsiveness of the page during training. In the Node.js environment, it can ensure tasks queued in the event loop can be handled in a timely manner.

    The value can be one of the following:

    • 'auto': The yielding happens at a certain frame rate (currently set at 125ms). This is the default.
    • 'batch': yield every batch.
    • 'epoch': yield every epoch.
    • a number: Will yield every number milliseconds.
    • 'never': never yield. (But yielding can still happen through await nextFrame() calls in custom callbacks.)
  • initialEpoch (number) Epoch at which to start training (useful for resuming a previous training run). When this is used, epochs is the index of the "final epoch". The model is not trained for a number of iterations given by epochs, but merely until the epoch of index epochs is reached.
  • classWeight (ClassWeight|ClassWeight[]|ClassWeightMap) Optional object mapping class indices (integers) to a weight (float) to apply to the model's loss for the samples from this class during training. This can be useful to tell the model to "pay more attention" to samples from an under-represented class.

    If the model has multiple outputs, a class weight can be specified for each of the outputs by setting this field an array of weight object or a object that maps model output names (e.g., model.outputNames[0]) to weight objects.

Returns: Promise<History>
trainOnBatch (x, y) method Source

Runs a single gradient update on a single batch of data.

This method differs from fit() and fitDataset() in the following regards:

  • It operates on exactly one batch of data.
  • It returns only the loss and matric values, instead of returning the batch-by-batch loss and metric values.
  • It doesn't support fine-grained options such as verbosity and callbacks.
Parameters:
Returns: Promise<number|number[]>
save (handlerOrURL, config?) method Source

Save the configuration and/or weights of the LayersModel.

An IOHandler is an object that has a save method of the proper signature defined. The save method manages the storing or transmission of serialized data ("artifacts") that represent the model's topology and weights onto or via a specific medium, such as file downloads, local storage, IndexedDB in the web browser and HTTP requests to a server. TensorFlow.js provides IOHandler implementations for a number of frequently used saving mediums, such as tf.io.browserDownloads() and tf.io.browserLocalStorage. See tf.io for more details.

This method also allows you to refer to certain types of IOHandlers as URL-like string shortcuts, such as 'localstorage://' and 'indexeddb://'.

Example 1: Save model's topology and weights to browser local storage; then load it back.

const model = tf.sequential(
     {layers: [tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [3]})]});
console.log('Prediction from original model:');
model.predict(tf.ones([1, 3])).print();

const saveResults = await model.save('localstorage://my-model-1');

const loadedModel = await tf.loadLayersModel('localstorage://my-model-1');
console.log('Prediction from loaded model:');
loadedModel.predict(tf.ones([1, 3])).print();

Example 2. Saving model's topology and weights to browser IndexedDB; then load it back.

const model = tf.sequential(
     {layers: [tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [3]})]});
console.log('Prediction from original model:');
model.predict(tf.ones([1, 3])).print();

const saveResults = await model.save('indexeddb://my-model-1');

const loadedModel = await tf.loadLayersModel('indexeddb://my-model-1');
console.log('Prediction from loaded model:');
loadedModel.predict(tf.ones([1, 3])).print();

Example 3. Saving model's topology and weights as two files (my-model-1.json and my-model-1.weights.bin) downloaded from browser.

const model = tf.sequential(
     {layers: [tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [3]})]});
const saveResults = await model.save('downloads://my-model-1');

Example 4. Send model's topology and weights to an HTTP server. See the documentation of tf.io.http() for more details including specifying request parameters and implementation of the server.

const model = tf.sequential(
     {layers: [tf.layers.dense({units: 1, inputShape: [3]})]});
const saveResults = await model.save('http://my-server/model/upload');
Parameters:
  • handlerOrURL (io.IOHandler|string) An instance of IOHandler or a URL-like, scheme-based string shortcut for IOHandler.

];
const yArray = [1, 1, 1, 1];
// Create a dataset from the JavaScript array.
const xDataset = tf.data.array(xArray);
const yDataset = tf.data.array(yArray);
// Zip combines the `x` and `y` Datasets into a single Dataset, the
// iterator of which will return an object containing of two tensors,
// corresponding to `x` and `y`.  The call to `batch(4)` will bundle
// four such samples into a single object, with the same keys now pointing
// to tensors that hold 4 examples, organized along the batch dimension.
// The call to `shuffle(4)` causes each iteration through the dataset to
// happen in a different order.  The size of the shuffle window is 4.

Returns: tf.layers.Layer

Spatial 1D version of Dropout.

This Layer type performs the same function as the Dropout layer, but it drops entire 1D feature maps instead of individual elements. For example, if an input example consists of 3 timesteps and the feature map for each timestep has a size of 4, a spatialDropout1d layer may zero out the feature maps of the 1st timesteps and 2nd timesteps completely while sparing all feature elements of the 3rd timestep.

If adjacent frames (timesteps) are strongly correlated (as is normally the case in early convolution layers), regular dropout will not regularize the activation and will otherwise just result in merely an effective learning rate decrease. In this case, spatialDropout1d will help promote independence among feature maps and should be used instead.

Arguments:* rate: A floating-point number >=0 and <=1. Fraction of the input elements to drop.

Input shape:* 3D tensor with shape (samples, timesteps, channels).

Output shape:* Same as the input shape.

If activation is not null, it is applied to the outputs as well.

When using this layer as the first layer in a model, provide an inputShape argument Array or null.

For example, inputShape would be:

  • [10, 128] for sequences of 10 vectors of 128-dimensional vectors

Transposed convolutional layer (sometimes called Deconvolution).

The need for transposed convolutions generally arises from the desire to use a transformation going in the opposite direction of a normal convolution, i.e., from something that has the shape of the output of some convolution to something that has the shape of its input while maintaining a connectivity pattern that is compatible with said convolution.

When using this layer as the first layer in a model, provide the configuration inputShape (Array of integers, does not include the sample axis), e.g., inputShape: [128, 128, 3] for 128x128 RGB pictures in dataFormat: 'channelsLast'.

Input shape: 4D tensor with shape: [batch, channels, rows, cols] if dataFormat is 'channelsFirst'. or 4D tensor with shape [batch, rows, cols, channels] if dataFormat is 'channelsLast.

Output shape: 4D tensor with shape: [batch, filters, newRows, newCols] if dataFormat is 'channelsFirst'. or 4D tensor with shape: [batch, newRows, newCols, filters] if dataFormat is 'channelsLast'.

Depthwise separable 2D convolution.

Separable convolution consists of first performing a depthwise spatial convolution (which acts on each input channel separately) followed by a pointwise convolution which mixes together the resulting output channels. The depthMultiplier argument controls how many output channels are generated per input channel in the depthwise step.

Intuitively, separable convolutions can be understood as a way to factorize a convolution kernel into two smaller kernels, or as an extreme version of an Inception block.

Input shape: 4D tensor with shape: [batch, channels, rows, cols] if data_format='channelsFirst' or 4D tensor with shape: [batch, rows, cols, channels] if data_format='channelsLast'.

Output shape: 4D tensor with shape: [batch, filters, newRows, newCols] if data_format='channelsFirst' or 4D tensor with shape: [batch, newRows, newCols, filters] if data_format='channelsLast'. rows and cols values might have changed due to padding.

tf.layers.convLstm2d (args) function Source

Convolutional LSTM layer - Xingjian Shi 2015.

This is an ConvRNN2D layer consisting of one ConvLSTM2DCell. However, unlike the underlying ConvLSTM2DCell, the apply method of ConvLSTM2D operates on a sequence of inputs. The shape of the input (not including the first, batch dimension) needs to be 4-D, with the first dimension being time steps. For example:

const filters = 3;
const kernelSize = 3;

const batchSize = 4;
const sequenceLength = 2;
const size = 5;
const channels = 3;

const inputShape = [batchSize, sequenceLength, size, size, channels];
const input = tf.ones(inputShape);

const layer = tf.layers.convLstm2d({filters, kernelSize});

const output = layer.apply(input);
Parameters:
  • args (Object)
  • activation (tf.any()) Activation function to use.

    Defaults to hyperbolic tangent (tanh)

    If you pass null, no activation will be applied.

  • useBias (tf.any()) Whether the layer uses a bias vector.
  • kernelInitializer (tf.any()) Initializer for the kernel weights matrix, used for the linear transformation of the inputs.
  • recurrentInitializer (tf.any()) Initializer for the recurrentKernel weights matrix, used for linear transformation of the recurrent state.
  • biasInitializer (tf.any()) Initializer for the bias vector.
  • kernelRegularizer (tf.any()) Regularizer function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
  • recurrentRegularizer (tf.any()) Regularizer function applied to the recurrentKernel weights matrix.
  • biasRegularizer (tf.any()) Regularizer function applied to the bias vector.
  • kernelConstraint (tf.any()) Constraint function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
  • recurrentConstraint (tf.any()) Constraint function applied to the recurrentKernel weights matrix.
  • biasConstraint (tf.any()) Constraint function applied to the bias vector.
  • dropout (tf.any()) Number between 0 and 1. Fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the inputs.
  • recurrentDropout (tf.any()) Number between 0 and 1. Fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
  • inputShape (tf.any()) If defined, will be used to create an input layer to insert before this layer. If both inputShape and batchInputShape are defined, batchInputShape will be used. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • batchInputShape (tf.any()) If defined, will be used to create an input layer to insert before this layer. If both inputShape and batchInputShape are defined, batchInputShape will be used. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • batchSize (tf.any()) If inputShape is specified and batchInputShape is not specified, batchSize is used to construct the batchInputShape: [batchSize, ...inputShape]
  • dtype (tf.any()) The data-type for this layer. Defaults to 'float32'. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • name (tf.any()) Name for this layer.
  • trainable (tf.any()) Whether the weights of this layer are updatable by fit. Defaults to true.
  • weights (tf.any()) Initial weight values of the layer.
  • inputDType (tf.any()) Legacy support. Do not use for new code.
  • recurrentActivation (tf.any()) Activation function to use for the recurrent step.

    Defaults to hard sigmoid (hardSigmoid).

    If null, no activation is applied.

  • unitForgetBias (tf.any()) If true, add 1 to the bias of the forget gate at initialization. Setting it to true will also force biasInitializer = 'zeros'. This is recommended in Jozefowicz et al..
  • implementation (tf.any()) Implementation mode, either 1 or 2. Mode 1 will structure its operations as a larger number of smaller dot products and additions, whereas mode 2 will batch them into fewer, larger operations. These modes will have different performance profiles on different hardware and for different applications.

    Note: For superior performance, TensorFlow.js always uses implementation 2, regardless of the actual value of this config field.

  • returnSequences (tf.any()) Whether to return the last output in the output sequence, or the full sequence.
  • returnState (tf.any()) Whether to return the last state in addition to the output.
  • goBackwards (tf.any()) If true, process the input sequence backwards and return the reversed sequence (default: false).
  • stateful (tf.any()) If true, the last state for each sample at index i in a batch will be used as initial state of the sample of index i in the following batch (default: false).

    You can set RNN layers to be "stateful", which means that the states computed for the samples in one batch will be reused as initial states for the samples in the next batch. This assumes a one-to-one mapping between samples in different successive batches.

    To enable "statefulness":

    • specify stateful: true in the layer constructor.
    • specify a fixed batch size for your model, by passing
      • if sequential model: batchInputShape: [...] to the first layer in your model.
      • else for functional model with 1 or more Input layers: batchShape: [...] to all the first layers in your model. This is the expected shape of your inputs including the batch size. It should be a tuple of integers, e.g., [32, 10, 100].
    • specify shuffle: false when calling LayersModel.fit().

    To reset the state of your model, call resetStates() on either the specific layer or on the entire model.

  • unroll (tf.any()) If true, the network will be unrolled, else a symbolic loop will be used. Unrolling can speed-up a RNN, although it tends to be more memory- intensive. Unrolling is only suitable for short sequences (default: false). Porting Note: tfjs-layers has an imperative backend. RNNs are executed with normal TypeScript control flow. Hence this property is inapplicable and ignored in tfjs-layers.
  • inputDim (tf.any()) Dimensionality of the input (integer). This option (or alternatively, the option inputShape) is required when this layer is used as the first layer in a model.
  • inputLength (tf.any()) Length of the input sequences, to be specified when it is constant. This argument is required if you are going to connect Flatten then Dense layers upstream (without it, the shape of the dense outputs cannot be computed). Note that if the recurrent layer is not the first layer in your model, you would need to specify the input length at the level of the first layer (e.g., via the inputShape option).
  • cell (tf.RNNCell|tf.RNNCell[]) A RNN cell instance. A RNN cell is a class that has:

    • a call() method, which takes [Tensor, Tensor] as the first input argument. The first item is the input at time t, and second item is the cell state at time t. The call() method returns [outputAtT, statesAtTPlus1]. The call() method of the cell can also take the argument constants, see section "Note on passing external constants" below. Porting Node: PyKeras overrides the call() signature of RNN cells, which are Layer subtypes, to accept two arguments. tfjs-layers does not do such overriding. Instead we preseve the call() signature, which due to its Tensor|Tensor[] argument and return value, is flexible enough to handle the inputs and states.
    • a stateSize attribute. This can be a single integer (single state) in which case it is the size of the recurrent state (which should be the same as the size of the cell output). This can also be an Array of integers (one size per state). In this case, the first entry (stateSize[0]) should be the same as the size of the cell output. It is also possible for cell to be a list of RNN cell instances, in which case the cells get stacked on after the other in the RNN, implementing an efficient stacked RNN.
  • filters (number) The dimensionality of the output space (i.e. the number of filters in the convolution).
  • kernelSize (number|number[]) The dimensions of the convolution window. If kernelSize is a number, the convolutional window will be square.
  • strides (number|number[]) The strides of the convolution in each dimension. If strides is a number, strides in both dimensions are equal.

    Specifying any stride value != 1 is incompatible with specifying any dilationRate value != 1.

  • padding ('valid'|'same'|'causal') Padding mode.
  • dataFormat ('channelsFirst'|'channelsLast') Format of the data, which determines the ordering of the dimensions in the inputs.

    channels_last corresponds to inputs with shape (batch, ..., channels)

    channels_first corresponds to inputs with shape (batch, channels, ...).

    Defaults to channels_last.

  • dilationRate (number|[number]|[number, number]) The dilation rate to use for the dilated convolution in each dimension. Should be an integer or array of two or three integers.

    Currently, specifying any dilationRate value != 1 is incompatible with specifying any strides value != 1.

Returns: ConvLSTM2D

Cell class for ConvLSTM2D.

ConvLSTM2DCell is distinct from the ConvRNN2D subclass ConvLSTM2D in that its call method takes the input data of only a single time step and returns the cell's output at the time step, while ConvLSTM2D takes the input data over a number of time steps. For example:

const filters = 3;
const kernelSize = 3;

const sequenceLength = 1;
const size = 5;
const channels = 3;

const inputShape = [sequenceLength, size, size, channels];
const input = tf.ones(inputShape);

const cell = tf.layers.convLstm2dCell({filters, kernelSize});

cell.build(input.shape);

const outputSize = size - kernelSize + 1;
const outShape = [sequenceLength, outputSize, outputSize, filters];

tf.layers.gru (args) function Source

Gated Recurrent Unit - Cho et al. 2014.

This is an RNN layer consisting of one GRUCell. However, unlike the underlying GRUCell, the apply method of SimpleRNN operates on a sequence of inputs. The shape of the input (not including the first, batch dimension) needs to be at least 2-D, with the first dimension being time steps. For example:

const rnn = tf.layers.gru({units: 8, returnSequences: true});

// Create an input with 10 time steps.
const input = tf.input({shape: [10, 20]});
const output = rnn.apply(input);

console.log(JSON.stringify(output.shape));
// [null, 10, 8]: 1st dimension is unknown batch size; 2nd dimension is the
// same as the sequence length of `input`, due to `returnSequences`: `true`;

    Defaults to hard sigmoid (hardSigmoid).

    If null, no activation is applied.

  • implementation (number) Implementation mode, either 1 or 2.

    Mode 1 will structure its operations as a larger number of smaller dot products and additions.

    Mode 2 will batch them into fewer, larger operations. These modes will have different performance profiles on different hardware and for different applications.

    Note: For superior performance, TensorFlow.js always uses implementation 2, regardless of the actual value of this configuration field.

  • activation ('elu'|'hardSigmoid'|'linear'|'relu'|'relu6'| 'selu'|'sigmoid'|'softmax'|'softplus'|'softsign'|'tanh') Activation function to use.

  • recurrentDropout (number) Number between 0 and 1. Fraction of the units to drop for the linear transformation of the recurrent state.
  • cell (tf.RNNCell|tf.RNNCell[]) A RNN cell instance. A RNN cell is a class that has:

    • a call() method, which takes [Tensor, Tensor] as the first input argument. The first item is the input at time t, and second item is the cell state at time t. The call() method returns [outputAtT, statesAtTPlus1]. The call() method of the cell can also take the argument constants, see section "Note on passing external constants" below. Porting Node: PyKeras overrides the call() signature of RNN cells, which are Layer subtypes, to accept two arguments. tfjs-layers does not do such overriding. Instead we preseve the call() signature, which due to its Tensor|Tensor[] argument and return value, is flexible enough to handle the inputs and states.
    • a stateSize attribute. This can be a single integer (single state) in which case it is the size of the recurrent state (which should be the same as the size of the cell output). This can also be an Array of integers (one size per state). In this case, the first entry (stateSize[0]) should be the same as the size of the cell output. It is also possible for cell to be a list of RNN cell instances, in which case the cells get stacked on after the other in the RNN, implementing an efficient stacked RNN.
  • returnSequences (boolean) Whether to return the last output in the output sequence, or the full sequence.
  • returnState (boolean) Whether to return the last state in addition to the output.
  • goBackwards (boolean) If true, process the input sequence backwards and return the reversed sequence (default: false).
  • stateful (boolean) If true, the last state for each sample at index i in a batch will be used as initial state of the sample of index i in the following batch (default: false).

    You can set RNN layers to be "stateful", which means that the states computed for the samples in one batch will be reused as initial states for the samples in the next batch. This assumes a one-to-one mapping between samples in different successive batches.

    To enable "statefulness":

    • specify stateful: true in the layer constructor.
    • specify a fixed batch size for your model, by passing
      • if sequential model: batchInputShape: [...] to the first layer in your model.
      • else for functional model with 1 or more Input layers: batchShape: [...] to all the first layers in your model. This is the expected shape of your inputs including the batch size. It should be a tuple of integers, e.g., [32, 10, 100].
    • specify shuffle: false when calling LayersModel.fit().

    To reset the state of your model, call resetStates() on either the specific layer or on the entire model.

  • unroll (boolean) If true, the network will be unrolled, else a symbolic loop will be used. Unrolling can speed-up a RNN, although it tends to be more memory- intensive. Unrolling is only suitable for short sequences (default: false). Porting Note: tfjs-layers has an imperative backend. RNNs are executed with normal TypeScript control flow. Hence this property is inapplicable and ignored in tfjs-layers.
  • inputDim (number) Dimensionality of the input (integer). This option (or alternatively, the option inputShape) is required when this layer is used as the first layer in a model.
  • inputLength (number) Length of the input sequences, to be specified when it is constant. This argument is required if you are going to connect Flatten then Dense layers upstream (without it, the shape of the dense outputs cannot be computed). Note that if the recurrent layer is not the first layer in your model, you would need to specify the input length at the level of the first layer (e.g., via the inputShape option).
  • inputShape ((null | number)[]) If defined, will be used to create an input layer to insert before this layer. If both inputShape and batchInputShape are defined, batchInputShape will be used. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • batchInputShape ((null | number)[]) If defined, will be used to create an input layer to insert before this layer. If both inputShape and batchInputShape are defined, batchInputShape will be used. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • batchSize (number) If inputShape is specified and batchInputShape is not specified, batchSize is used to construct the batchInputShape: [batchSize, ...inputShape]
  • dtype ('float32'|'int32'|'bool'|'complex64'|'string') The data-type for this layer. Defaults to 'float32'. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • name (string) Name for this layer.
  • trainable (boolean) Whether the weights of this layer are updatable by fit. Defaults to true.
  • weights (tf.Tensor[]) Initial weight values of the layer.
  • inputDType ('float32'|'int32'|'bool'|'complex64'|'string') Legacy support. Do not use for new code.
Returns: tf.layers.Layer
tf.layers.gruCell (args) function Source

Cell class for GRU.

GRUCell is distinct from the RNN subclass GRU in that its apply method takes the input data of only a single time step and returns the cell's output at the time step, while GRU takes the input data over a number of time steps. For example:

const cell = tf.layers.gruCell({units: 2});
const input = tf.input({shape: [10]});
const output = cell.apply(input);

console.log(JSON.stringify(output.shape));
// [null, 10]: This is the cell's output at a single time step. The 1st
// dimension is the unknown batch size.

Instance(s) of GRUCell can be used to construct RNN layers. The most typical use of this workflow is to combine a number of cells into a stacked RNN cell (i.e., StackedRNNCell internally) and use it to create an RNN. For example:

const cells = [
   tf.layers.gruCell({units: 4}),
   tf.layers.gruCell({units: 8}),
];
const rnn = tf.layers.rnn({cell: cells, returnSequences: true});

// Create an input with 10 time steps and a length-20 vector at each step.
const input = tf.input({shape: [10, 20]});
const output = rnn.apply(input);

console.log(JSON.stringify(output.shape));
// [null, 10, 8]: 1st dimension is unknown batch size; 2nd dimension is the
// same as the sequence length of `input`, due to `returnSequences`: `true`;
// 3rd dimension is the last `gruCell`'s number of units.

To create an RNN consisting of only one GRUCell, use the tf.layers.gru().

tf.layers.lstm (args) function Source

Long-Short Term Memory layer - Hochreiter 1997.

This is an RNN layer consisting of one LSTMCell. However, unlike the underlying LSTMCell, the apply method of LSTM operates on a sequence of inputs. The shape of the input (not including the first, batch dimension) needs to be at least 2-D, with the first dimension being time steps. For example:

const lstm = tf.layers.lstm({units: 8, returnSequences: true});

// Create an input with 10 time steps.
const input = tf.input({shape: [10, 20]});
const output = lstm.apply(input);

console.log(JSON.stringify(output.shape));
// [null, 10, 8]: 1st dimension is unknown batch size; 2nd dimension is the
// same as the sequence length of `input`, due to `returnSequences`: `true`;
// 3rd dimension is the `LSTMCell`'s number of units.

Returns: tf.RNNCell
tf.layers.rnn (args) function Source

Base class for recurrent layers.

Input shape: 3D tensor with shape [batchSize, timeSteps, inputDim].

Output shape:

  • if returnState, an Array of tensors (i.e., tf.Tensors). The first tensor is the output. The remaining tensors are the states at the last time step, each with shape [batchSize, units].
  • if returnSequences, the output will have shape [batchSize, timeSteps, units].
  • else, the output will have shape [batchSize, units].

Masking: This layer supports masking for input data with a variable number of timesteps. To introduce masks to your data, use an embedding layer with the mask_zero parameter set to True.

Notes on using statefulness in RNNs: You can set RNN layers to be 'stateful', which means that the states computed for the samples in one batch will be reused as initial states for the samples in the next batch. This assumes a one-to-one mapping between samples in different successive batches.

To enable statefulness: - specify stateful: true in the layer constructor. - specify a fixed batch size for your model, by passing if sequential model: batchInputShape=[...] to the first layer in your model. else for functional model with 1 or more Input layers: batchShape=[...] to all the first layers in your model. This is the expected shape of your inputs including the batch size. It should be a tuple of integers, e.g. (32, 10, 100). - specify shuffle=False when calling fit().

To reset the states of your model, call .resetStates() on either a specific layer, or on your entire model.

Note on specifying the initial state of RNNs You can specify the initial state of RNN layers symbolically by calling them with the option initialState. The value of initialState should be a tensor or list of tensors representing the initial state of the RNN layer.

You can specify the initial state of RNN layers numerically by calling resetStates with the keyword argument states. The value of states should be a numpy array or list of numpy arrays representing the initial state of the RNN layer.

Note on passing external constants to RNNs You can pass "external" constants to the cell using the constants keyword argument of RNN.call method. This requires that the cell.call method accepts the same keyword argument constants. Such constants can be used to conditon the cell transformation on additional static inputs (not changing over time), a.k.a an attention mechanism.

Parameters:
  • args (Object)
  • cell (tf.RNNCell|tf.RNNCell[]) A RNN cell instance. A RNN cell is a class that has:

    • a call() method, which takes [Tensor, Tensor] as the first input argument. The first item is the input at time t, and second item is the cell state at time t. The call() method returns [outputAtT, statesAtTPlus1]. The call() method of the cell can also take the argument constants, see section "Note on passing external constants" below. Porting Node: PyKeras overrides the call() signature of RNN cells, which are Layer subtypes, to accept two arguments. tfjs-layers does not do such overriding. Instead we preseve the call() signature, which due to its Tensor|Tensor[] argument and return value, is flexible enough to handle the inputs and states.
    • a stateSize attribute. This can be a single integer (single state) in which case it is the size of the recurrent state (which should be the same as the size of the cell output). This can also be an Array of integers (one size per state). In this case, the first entry (stateSize[0]) should be the same as the size of the cell output. It is also possible for cell to be a list of RNN cell instances, in which case the cells get stacked on after the other in the RNN, implementing an efficient stacked RNN.
  • returnSequences (boolean) Whether to return the last output in the output sequence, or the full sequence.
  • returnState (boolean) Whether to return the last state in addition to the output.
  • goBackwards (boolean) If true, process the input sequence backwards and return the reversed sequence (default: false).
  • stateful (boolean) If true, the last state for each sample at index i in a batch will be used as initial state of the sample of index i in the following batch (default: false).

    You can set RNN layers to be "stateful", which means that the states computed for the samples in one batch will be reused as initial states for the samples in the next batch. This assumes a one-to-one mapping between samples in different successive batches.

    To enable "statefulness":

    • specify stateful: true in the layer constructor.
    • specify a fixed batch size for your model, by passing
      • if sequential model: batchInputShape: [...] to the first layer in your model.
      • else for functional model with 1 or more Input layers: batchShape: [...] to all the first layers in your model. This is the expected shape of your inputs including the batch size. It should be a tuple of integers, e.g., [32, 10, 100].
    • specify shuffle: false when calling LayersModel.fit().

    To reset the state of your model, call resetStates() on either the specific layer or on the entire model.

  • unroll (boolean) If true, the network will be unrolled, else a symbolic loop will be used. Unrolling can speed-up a RNN, although it tends to be more memory- intensive. Unrolling is only suitable for short sequences (default: false). Porting Note: tfjs-layers has an imperative backend. RNNs are executed with normal TypeScript control flow. Hence this property is inapplicable and ignored in tfjs-layers.
  • inputDim (number) Dimensionality of the input (integer). This option (or alternatively, the option inputShape) is required when this layer is used as the first layer in a model.
  • inputLength (number) Length of the input sequences, to be specified when it is constant. This argument is required if you are going to connect Flatten then Dense layers upstream (without it, the shape of the dense outputs cannot be computed). Note that if the recurrent layer is not the first layer in your model, you would need to specify the input length at the level of the first layer (e.g., via the inputShape option).
  • inputShape ((null | number)[]) If defined, will be used to create an input layer to insert before this layer. If both inputShape and batchInputShape are defined, batchInputShape will be used. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • batchInputShape ((null | number)[]) If defined, will be used to create an input layer to insert before this layer. If both inputShape and batchInputShape are defined, batchInputShape will be used. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • batchSize (number) If inputShape is specified and batchInputShape is not specified, batchSize is used to construct the batchInputShape: [batchSize, ...inputShape]
  • dtype ('float32'|'int32'|'bool'|'complex64'|'string') The data-type for this layer. Defaults to 'float32'. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).
  • name (string) Name for this layer.
  • trainable (boolean) Whether the weights of this layer are updatable by fit. Defaults to true.
  • weights (tf.Tensor[]) Initial weight values of the layer.
  • inputDType ('float32'|'int32'|'bool'|'complex64'|'string') Legacy support. Do not use for new code.

tf.layers.simpleRNN (args) function Source

Fully-connected RNN where the output is to be fed back to input.

This is an RNN layer consisting of one SimpleRNNCell. However, unlike the underlying SimpleRNNCell, the apply method of SimpleRNN operates on a sequence of inputs. The shape of the input (not including the first, batch dimension) needs to be at least 2-D, with the first dimension being time steps. For example:

const rnn = tf.layers.simpleRNN({units: 8, returnSequences: true});

// Create an input with 10 time steps.
const input = tf.input({shape: [10, 20]});
const output = rnn.apply(input);

console.log(JSON.stringify(output.shape));
// [null, 10, 8]: 1st dimension is unknown batch size; 2nd dimension is the

Returns: tf.layers.Layer

Cell class for SimpleRNN.

SimpleRNNCell is distinct from the RNN subclass SimpleRNN in that its apply method takes the input data of only a single time step and returns the cell's output at the time step, while SimpleRNN takes the input data over a number of time steps. For example:

const cell = tf.layers.simpleRNNCell({units: 2});
const input = tf.input({shape: [10]});
const output = cell.apply(input);

console.log(JSON.stringify(output.shape));
// [null, 10]: This is the cell's output at a single time step. The 1st
// dimension is the unknown batch size.

Instance(s) of SimpleRNNCell can be used to construct RNN layers. The most typical use of this workflow is to combine a number of cells into a stacked RNN cell (i.e., StackedRNNCell internally) and use it to create an RNN. For example:

const cells = [
   tf.layers.simpleRNNCell({units: 4}),
   tf.layers.simpleRNNCell({units: 8}),
];
const rnn = tf.layers.rnn({cell: cells, returnSequences: true});

// Create an input with 10 time steps and a length-20 vector at each step.
const input = tf.input({shape: [10, 20]});
const output = rnn.apply(input);

console.log(JSON.stringify(output.shape));
// [null, 10, 8]: 1st dimension is unknown batch size; 2nd dimension is the
// same as the sequence length of `input`, due to `returnSequences`: `true`;
// 3rd dimension is the last `SimpleRNNCell`'s number of units.

To create an RNN consisting of only one SimpleRNNCell, use the tf.layers.simpleRNN().

Returns: Bidirectional

This wrapper applies a layer to every temporal slice of an input.

The input should be at least 3D, and the dimension of the index 1 will be considered to be the temporal dimension.

Consider a batch of 32 samples, where each sample is a sequence of 10 vectors of 16 dimensions. The batch input shape of the layer is then [32, 10, 16], and the inputShape, not including the sample dimension, is [10, 16].

You can then use TimeDistributed to apply a Dense layer to each of the 10 timesteps, independently:

const model = tf.sequential();
model.add(tf.layers.timeDistributed({
   layer: tf.layers.dense({units: 8}),
   inputShape: [10, 16],
}));

// Now model.outputShape = [null, 10, 8].
// The output will then have shape `[32, 10, 8]`.

// In subsequent layers, there is no need for `inputShape`:
model.add(tf.layers.timeDistributed({layer: tf.layers.dense({units: 32})}));
console.log(JSON.stringify(model.outputs[0].shape));
// Now model.outputShape = [null, 10, 32].

The output will then have shape [32, 10, 32].

TimeDistributed can be used with arbitrary layers, not just Dense, for instance a Conv2D layer.

const model = tf.sequential();
model.add(tf.layers.timeDistributed({
   layer: tf.layers.conv2d({filters: 64, kernelSize: [3, 3]}),
   inputShape: [10, 299, 299, 3],
}));
console.log(JSON.stringify(model.outputs[0].shape));
Parameters:
  • args (Object)
  • layer (tf.layers.Layer) The layer to be wrapped.
  • inputShape ((null | number)[]) If defined, will be used to create an input layer to insert before this layer. If both inputShape and batchInputShape are defined, batchInputShape will be used. This argument is only applicable to input layers (the first layer of a model).

  • weights (tf.Tensor[]) Initial weight values of the layer.

Returns: tf.layers.Layer
tf.layers.Layer extends serialization.Serializable class Source

A layer is a grouping of operations and weights that can be composed to create a tf.LayersModel.

Layers are constructed by using the functions under the tf.layers namespace.

apply (inputs, kwargs?) method Source

Builds or executes a `Layer's logic.

When called with tf.Tensor(s), execute the Layers computation and return Tensor(s). For example:

const denseLayer = tf.layers.dense({
   units: 1,
   kernelInitializer: 'zeros',
   useBias: false
});

// Invoke the layer's apply() method with a [tf.Tensor](#class:Tensor) (with concrete
// numeric values).
const input = tf.ones([2, 2]);
const output = denseLayer.apply(input);

// The output's value is expected to be [[0], [0]], due to the fact that
// the dense layer has a kernel initialized to all-zeros and does not have
// a bias.
output.print();

When called with tf.SymbolicTensor(s), this will prepare the layer for future execution. This entails internal book-keeping on shapes of expected Tensors, wiring layers together, and initializing weights.

Calling apply with tf.SymbolicTensors are typically used during the building of non-tf.Sequential models. For example:

const flattenLayer = tf.layers.flatten();
const denseLayer = tf.layers.dense({units: 1});

// Use tf.layers.input() to obtain a SymbolicTensor as input to apply().
const input = tf.input({shape: [2, 2]});
const output1 = flattenLayer.apply(input);

// output1.shape is [null, 4]. The first dimension is the undetermined
// batch size. The second dimension comes from flattening the [2, 2]
// shape.
console.log(JSON.stringify(output1.shape));

// The output SymbolicTensor of the flatten layer can be used to call
// the apply() of the dense layer:
const output2 = denseLayer.apply(output1);

// output2.shape is [null, 1]. The first dimension is the undetermined
// batch size. The second dimension matches the number of units of the
// dense layer.
console.log(JSON.stringify(output2.shape));

// The input and output and be used to construct a model that consists
// of the flatten and dense layers.
const model = tf.model({inputs: input, outputs: output2});
Parameters:
countParams () method Source

Counts the total number of numbers (e.g., float32, int32) in the weights.

Returns: number
build (inputShape) method Source

Creates the layer weights.

Must be implemented on all layers that have weights.

Called when apply() is called to construct the weights.

Parameters:
  • inputShape ((null | number)[]|(null | number)[][]) A Shape or array of Shape (unused).
Returns: void
getWeights (trainableOnly?) method Source

Returns the current values of the weights of the layer.

Parameters:
  • trainableOnly (boolean) Whether to get the values of only trainable weights. Optional
Returns: tf.Tensor[]
setWeights (weights) method Source

Sets the weights of the layer, from Tensors.

Parameters:
  • weights (tf.Tensor[]) a list of Tensors. The number of arrays and their shape must match number of the dimensions of the weights of the layer (i.e. it should match the output of getWeights).
Returns: void
addWeight (name, shape, dtype?, initializer?, regularizer?, trainable?, constraint?) method Source

Adds a weight variable to the layer.

Parameters:
  • name (string) Name of the new weight variable.
  • shape ((null | number)[]) The shape of the weight.
  • dtype ('float32'|'int32'|'bool'|'complex64'|'string') The dtype of the weight. Optional
  • initializer (tf.initializers.Initializer) An initializer instance. Optional
  • regularizer (Regularizer) A regularizer instance. Optional
  • trainable (boolean) Whether the weight should be trained via backprop or not (assuming that the layer itself is also trainable). Optional
  • constraint (tf.constraints.Constraint) An optional trainable. Optional
Returns: LayerVariable
addLoss (losses) method Source

Add losses to the layer.

The loss may potentionally be conditional on some inputs tensors, for instance activity losses are conditional on the layer's inputs.

Parameters:
  • losses (RegularizerFn|RegularizerFn[])
Returns: void
computeOutputShape (inputShape) method Source

Computes the output shape of the layer.

Assumes that the layer will be built to match that input shape provided.

Parameters:
  • inputShape ((null | number)[]|(null | number)[][]) A shape (tuple of integers) or a list of shape tuples (one per output tensor of the layer). Shape tuples can include null for free dimensions, instead of an integer.
Returns: (null | number)[]|(null | number)[][]
getConfig () method Source

Returns the config of the layer.

A layer config is a TS dictionary (serializable) containing the configuration of a layer. The same layer can be reinstantiated later (without its trained weights) from this configuration.

The config of a layer does not include connectivity information, nor the layer class name. These are handled by 'Container' (one layer of abstraction above).

Porting Note: The TS dictionary follows TS naming standrds for keys, and uses tfjs-layers type-safe Enums. Serialization methods should use a helper function to convert to the pythonic storage standard. (see serialization_utils.convertTsToPythonic)

Returns: serialization.ConfigDict
dispose () method Source

Attempt to dispose layer's weights.

This method decrease the reference count of the Layer object by 1.

A Layer is reference-counted. Its reference count is incremented by 1 the first item its apply() method is called and when it becomes a part of a new Node (through calling the apply()) method on a tf.SymbolicTensor).

If the reference count of a Layer becomes 0, all the weights will be disposed and the underlying memory (e.g., the textures allocated in WebGL) will be freed.

Note: If the reference count is greater than 0 after the decrement, the weights of the Layer will not be disposed.

After a Layer is disposed, it cannot be used in calls such as apply(), getWeights() or setWeights() anymore.

Returns: DisposeResult

An RNNCell layer.

tf.layers.inputLayer (args) function Source

An input layer is an entry point into a tf.LayersModel.

InputLayer is generated automatically for tf.Sequentialmodels by specifying theinputshapeorbatchInputShape` for the first layer. It should not be specified explicitly. However, it can be useful sometimes, e.g., when constructing a sequential model from a subset of another sequential model's layers. Like the code snippet below shows.

// Define a model which simply adds two inputs.
const model1 = tf.sequential();
model1.add(tf.layers.dense({inputShape: [4], units: 3, activation: 'relu'}));
model1.add(tf.layers.dense({units: 1, activation: 'sigmoid'}));
model1.summary();
model1.predict(tf.zeros([1, 4])).print();

// Construct another model, reusing the second layer of `model1` while
// not using the first layer of `model1`. Note that you cannot add the second
// layer of `model` directly as the first layer of the new sequential model,
// because doing so will lead to an error related to the fact that the layer
// is not an input layer. Instead, you need to create an `inputLayer` and add
// it to the new sequential model before adding the reused layer.
const model2 = tf.sequential();
// Use an inputShape that matches the input shape of `model1`'s second
// layer.
model2.add(tf.layers.inputLayer({inputShape: [3]}));
model2.add(model1.layers[1]);
model2.summary();
model2.predict(tf.zeros([1, 3])).print();

x < 0 ? alpha * x : f(x) = x

const x = tf.tensor1d([-1, 2, -3, 4]);
const alpha = tf.scalar(0.1);

x.prelu(alpha).print();  // or tf.prelu(x, alpha)
Parameters:
Returns: tf.Tensor
tf.reciprocal (x) function Source

Computes reciprocal of x element-wise: 1 / x

const x = tf.tensor1d([0, 1, 2]);

x.reciprocal().print();  // or tf.reciprocal(x)
Parameters:
Returns: tf.Tensor
tf.relu (x) function Source

Computes rectified linear element-wise: max(x, 0).

const x = tf.tensor1d([-1, 2, -3, 4]);

x.relu().print();  // or tf.relu(x)
Parameters:
