NetDelete

NetDelete[net,n]

deletes the n^(th) layer from a NetChain or NetGraph.

NetDelete[net,"name"]

deletes a named layer.

NetDelete[net,{spec1,spec2,…}]

deletes several layers simultaneously.

Details

  • Layers can only be deleted from a chain or graph if their inputs and outputs are the same size, or if they are at the periphery of the network.
  • For NetDrop[chain,{start,end}], the start and end can be given as an integer n, which specifies the n^(th) layer, or "name", which specifies a named layer in a NetChain that was constructed using <|"name"->layer,…|>.
