NetArray
Details
- NetArray is typically used to share arrays in NetChain/NetGraph or to define learnable parameters in FunctionLayer[…].
- All net arrays sharing the same name in a net are treated as the same underlying array by NetInitialize, NetTrain, etc.
- The properties that can be specified are:
-
"Array" initial values or inialization method for the array "Dimensions" dimensions of the array "Name" name of the array, so that it can be shared - NetArray[] automatically gives a name (UUID) to the array and is equivalent to NetArray[Automatic].
- NetInsertSharedArrays[layer] will return a new layer in which all its arrays have been replaced with named net arrays.
Examples
Basic Examples (3)
Create a layer containing a shared array:
Create a chain that contains a shared array, used in two layers:
The weights from the two linear layers are the same (and will remain the same when training with NetTrain):
Extract all the shared arrays of a net:
Define a FunctionLayer that adds a list of learnable values to a list, initialized with arbitrary values:
Evaluate the layer on an input list:
The original NetArray corresponds to a NetArrayLayer in the equivalent NetGraph:
