ElementWiseSum(*args, **kwargs)¶

Adds all input arguments element-wise.

\[add\_n(a_1, a_2, ..., a_n) = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_n\]

add_n is potentially more efficient than calling add by n times.

The storage type of add_n output depends on storage types of inputs

add_n(row_sparse, row_sparse, ..) = row_sparse
add_n(default, csr, default) = default
add_n(any input combinations longer than 4 (>4) with at least one default type) = default
otherwise, add_n falls all inputs back to default storage and generates default storage

Defined in /work/mxnet/src/operator/tensor/elemwise_sum.cc:L158 This function support variable length of positional input.

Parameters

args (Symbol[]) – Positional input arguments
name (string, optional.) – Name of the resulting symbol.

Returns

Embedding(data=None, weight=None, input_dim=_Null, output_dim=_Null, dtype=_Null, sparse_grad=_Null, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Maps integer indices to vector representations (embeddings).

This operator maps words to real-valued vectors in a high-dimensional space, called word embeddings. These embeddings can capture semantic and syntactic properties of the words. For example, it has been noted that in the learned embedding spaces, similar words tend to be close to each other and dissimilar words far apart.

For an input array of shape (d1, …, dK), the shape of an output array is (d1, …, dK, output_dim). All the input values should be integers in the range [0, input_dim).

If the input_dim is ip0 and output_dim is op0, then shape of the embedding weight matrix must be (ip0, op0).

When “sparse_grad” is False, if any index mentioned is too large, it is replaced by the index that addresses the last vector in an embedding matrix. When “sparse_grad” is True, an error will be raised if invalid indices are found.

Examples:

input_dim = 4
output_dim = 5

// Each row in weight matrix y represents a word. So, y = (w0,w1,w2,w3)
y = [[  0.,   1.,   2.,   3.,   4.],
     [  5.,   6.,   7.,   8.,   9.],
     [ 10.,  11.,  12.,  13.,  14.],
     [ 15.,  16.,  17.,  18.,  19.]]

// Input array x represents n-grams(2-gram). So, x = [(w1,w3), (w0,w2)]
x = [[ 1.,  3.],
     [ 0.,  2.]]

// Mapped input x to its vector representation y.
Embedding(x, y, 4, 5) = [[[  5.,   6.,   7.,   8.,   9.],
                          [ 15.,  16.,  17.,  18.,  19.]],

                         [[  0.,   1.,   2.,   3.,   4.],
                          [ 10.,  11.,  12.,  13.,  14.]]]

The storage type of weight can be either row_sparse or default.

Note

If “sparse_grad” is set to True, the storage type of gradient w.r.t weights will be “row_sparse”. Only a subset of optimizers support sparse gradients, including SGD, AdaGrad and Adam. Note that by default lazy updates is turned on, which may perform differently from standard updates. For more details, please check the Optimization API at: https://mxnet.apache.org/versions/master/api/python/docs/api/optimizer/index.html

FullyConnected(data=None, weight=None, bias=None, num_hidden=_Null, no_bias=_Null, flatten=_Null, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Applies a linear transformation: \(Y = XW^T + b\).

If flatten is set to be true, then the shapes are:

data: (batch_size, x1, x2, …, xn)
weight: (num_hidden, x1 * x2 * … * xn)
bias: (num_hidden,)
out: (batch_size, num_hidden)

If flatten is set to be false, then the shapes are:

data: (x1, x2, …, xn, input_dim)
weight: (num_hidden, input_dim)
bias: (num_hidden,)
out: (x1, x2, …, xn, num_hidden)

The learnable parameters include both weight and bias.

If no_bias is set to be true, then the bias term is ignored.

Note

The sparse support for FullyConnected is limited to forward evaluation with row_sparse weight and bias, where the length of weight.indices and bias.indices must be equal to num_hidden. This could be useful for model inference with row_sparse weights trained with importance sampling or noise contrastive estimation.

To compute linear transformation with ‘csr’ sparse data, sparse.dot is recommended instead of sparse.FullyConnected.

Defined in /work/mxnet/src/operator/nn/fully_connected.cc:L288

Parameters

data (Symbol) – Input data.
weight (Symbol) – Weight matrix.
bias (Symbol) – Bias parameter.

LinearRegressionOutput(default, default) = default
LinearRegressionOutput(default, csr) = default

By default, gradients of this loss function are scaled by factor 1/m, where m is the number of regression outputs of a training example. The parameter grad_scale can be used to change this scale to grad_scale/m.

LogisticRegressionOutput(data=None, label=None, grad_scale=_Null, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Applies a logistic function to the input.

The logistic function, also known as the sigmoid function, is computed as \(\frac{1}{1+exp(-\textbf{x})}\).

Commonly, the sigmoid is used to squash the real-valued output of a linear model \(wTx+b\) into the [0,1] range so that it can be interpreted as a probability. It is suitable for binary classification or probability prediction tasks.

Note

Use the LogisticRegressionOutput as the final output layer of a net.

The storage type of label can be default or csr

LogisticRegressionOutput(default, default) = default
LogisticRegressionOutput(default, csr) = default

The loss function used is the Binary Cross Entropy Loss:

\(-{(y\log(p) + (1 - y)\log(1 - p))}\)

Where y is the ground truth probability of positive outcome for a given example, and p the probability predicted by the model. By default, gradients of this loss function are scaled by factor 1/m, where m is the number of regression outputs of a training example. The parameter grad_scale can be used to change this scale to grad_scale/m.

Defined in /work/mxnet/src/operator/regression_output.cc:L153

Update function for AdaGrad optimizer.

Referenced from Adaptive Subgradient Methods for Online Learning and Stochastic Optimization, and available at http://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume12/duchi11a/duchi11a.pdf.

Updates are applied by:

rescaled_grad = clip(grad * rescale_grad, clip_gradient)
history = history + square(rescaled_grad)
w = w - learning_rate * rescaled_grad / sqrt(history + epsilon)

Note that non-zero values for the weight decay option are not supported.

Parameters

weight (Symbol) – Weight
grad (Symbol) – Gradient
history (Symbol) – History
lr (float, required) – Learning rate

adam_update(weight=None, grad=None, mean=None, var=None, lr=_Null, beta1=_Null, beta2=_Null, epsilon=_Null, wd=_Null, rescale_grad=_Null, clip_gradient=_Null, lazy_update=_Null, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Update function for Adam optimizer. Adam is seen as a generalization of AdaGrad.

Adam update consists of the following steps, where g represents gradient and m, v are 1st and 2nd order moment estimates (mean and variance).

\[\begin{split}g_t = \nabla J(W_{t-1})\\ m_t = \beta_1 m_{t-1} + (1 - \beta_1) g_t\\ v_t = \beta_2 v_{t-1} + (1 - \beta_2) g_t^2\\ W_t = W_{t-1} - \alpha \frac{ m_t }{ \sqrt{ v_t } + \epsilon }\end{split}\]

It updates the weights using:

m = beta1*m + (1-beta1)*grad
v = beta2*v + (1-beta2)*(grad**2)
w += - learning_rate * m / (sqrt(v) + epsilon)

However, if grad’s storage type is row_sparse, lazy_update is True and the storage type of weight is the same as those of m and v, only the row slices whose indices appear in grad.indices are updated (for w, m and v):

for row in grad.indices:
    m[row] = beta1*m[row] + (1-beta1)*grad[row]
    v[row] = beta2*v[row] + (1-beta2)*(grad[row]**2)
    w[row] += - learning_rate * m[row] / (sqrt(v[row]) + epsilon)

name (string, optional.) – Name of the resulting symbol.

cast_storage(data=None, stype=_Null, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Casts tensor storage type to the new type.

When an NDArray with default storage type is cast to csr or row_sparse storage, the result is compact, which means:

for csr, zero values will not be retained
for row_sparse, row slices of all zeros will not be retained

The storage type of cast_storage output depends on stype parameter:

cast_storage(csr, ‘default’) = default
cast_storage(row_sparse, ‘default’) = default
cast_storage(default, ‘csr’) = csr
cast_storage(default, ‘row_sparse’) = row_sparse
cast_storage(csr, ‘csr’) = csr
cast_storage(row_sparse, ‘row_sparse’) = row_sparse

Example:

dense = [[ 0.,  1.,  0.],
         [ 2.,  0.,  3.],
         [ 0.,  0.,  0.],
         [ 0.,  0.,  0.]]

# cast to row_sparse storage type
rsp = cast_storage(dense, 'row_sparse')
rsp.indices = [0, 1]
rsp.values = [[ 0.,  1.,  0.],
              [ 2.,  0.,  3.]]

# cast to csr storage type
csr = cast_storage(dense, 'csr')

Symbol

clip(data=None, a_min=_Null, a_max=_Null, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Clips (limits) the values in an array. Given an interval, values outside the interval are clipped to the interval edges. Clipping x between a_min and a_max would be .. math:

clip(x, a_min, a_max) = \max(\min(x, a_max), a_min))

Example:

x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
clip(x,1,8) = [ 1.,  1.,  2.,  3.,  4.,  5.,  6.,  7.,  8.,  8.]

The storage type of clip output depends on storage types of inputs and the a_min, a_max parameter values: * clip(default) = default * clip(row_sparse, a_min <= 0, a_max >= 0) = row_sparse * clip(csr, a_min <= 0, a_max >= 0) = csr * clip(row_sparse, a_min < 0, a_max < 0) = default * clip(row_sparse, a_min > 0, a_max > 0) = default * clip(csr, a_min < 0, a_max < 0) = csr * clip(csr, a_min > 0, a_max > 0) = csr

name (string, optional.) – Name of the resulting symbol.

Returns

The result symbol.

Return type

Symbol

concat(*data, **kwargs)¶

Joins input arrays along a given axis.

Note

Concat is deprecated. Use concat instead.

The dimensions of the input arrays should be the same except the axis along which they will be concatenated. With dimension parameter None input arrays are flattened before concatenating them along axis 0. The dimension of the output array along the concatenated axis will be equal to the sum of the corresponding dimensions of the input arrays.

The storage type of concat output depends on storage types of inputs

concat(csr, csr, …, csr, dim=0) = csr
otherwise, concat generates output with default storage

Example:

x = [[1,1],[2,2]]
y = [[3,3],[4,4],[5,5]]
z = [[6,6], [7,7],[8,8]]

concat(x,y,z,dim=0) = [[ 1.,  1.],
                       [ 2.,  2.],
                       [ 3.,  3.],
                       [ 4.,  4.],
                       [ 5.,  5.],
                       [ 6.,  6.],
                       [ 7.,  7.],
                       [ 8.,  8.]]

concat(x,y,z,dim=None) = [1., 1., 2., 2.,
                          3., 3., 4., 4.,
                          5., 5., 6., 6.,
                          7., 7., 8., 8.]

Note that you cannot concat x,y,z along dimension 1 since dimension
0 is not the same for all the input arrays.

concat(y,z,dim=1) = [[ 3.,  3.,  6.,  6.],
                      [ 4.,  4.,  7.,  7.],
                      [ 5.,  5.,  8.,  8.]]

Return type

Symbol

dot(lhs=None, rhs=None, transpose_a=_Null, transpose_b=_Null, forward_stype=_Null, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Dot product of two arrays.

dot’s behavior depends on the input array dimensions:

1-D arrays: inner product of vectors
2-D arrays: matrix multiplication
N-D arrays: a sum product over the last axis of the first input and the first axis of the second input

For example, given 3-D x with shape (n,m,k) and y with shape (k,r,s), the result array will have shape (n,m,r,s). It is computed by:
```
dot(x,y)[i,j,a,b] = sum(x[i,j,:]*y[:,a,b])
```
Example:
```
x = reshape([0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7], shape=(2,2,2))
y = reshape([7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0], shape=(2,2,2))
dot(x,y)[0,0,1,1] = 0
sum(x[0,0,:]*y[:,1,1]) = 0
```

The storage type of dot output depends on storage types of inputs, transpose option and forward_stype option for output storage type. Implemented sparse operations include:

dot(default, default, transpose_a=True/False, transpose_b=True/False) = default
dot(csr, default, transpose_a=True) = default
dot(csr, default, transpose_a=True) = row_sparse
dot(csr, default) = default
dot(csr, row_sparse) = default
dot(default, csr) = csr (CPU only)
dot(default, csr, forward_stype=’default’) = default
dot(default, csr, transpose_b=True, forward_stype=’default’) = default

If the combination of input storage types and forward_stype does not match any of the above patterns, dot will fallback and generate output with default storage.

Note

If the storage type of the lhs is “csr”, the storage type of gradient w.r.t rhs will be “row_sparse”. Only a subset of optimizers support sparse gradients, including SGD, AdaGrad and Adam. Note that by default lazy updates is turned on, which may perform differently from standard updates.

make_loss(data=None, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Make your own loss function in network construction.

This operator accepts a customized loss function symbol as a terminal loss and the symbol should be an operator with no backward dependency. The output of this function is the gradient of loss with respect to the input data.

For example, if you are a making a cross entropy loss function. Assume out is the predicted output and label is the true label, then the cross entropy can be defined as:

cross_entropy = label * log(out) + (1 - label) * log(1 - out)
loss = make_loss(cross_entropy)

We will need to use make_loss when we are creating our own loss function or we want to combine multiple loss functions. Also we may want to stop some variables’ gradients from backpropagation. See more detail in BlockGrad or stop_gradient.

Momentum update function for Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimizer.

Momentum update has better convergence rates on neural networks. Mathematically it looks like below:

\[\begin{split}v_1 = \alpha * \nabla J(W_0)\\ v_t = \gamma v_{t-1} - \alpha * \nabla J(W_{t-1})\\ W_t = W_{t-1} + v_t\end{split}\]

It updates the weights using:

v = momentum * v - learning_rate * gradient
weight += v

Where the parameter momentum is the decay rate of momentum estimates at each epoch.

However, if grad’s storage type is row_sparse, lazy_update is True and weight’s storage type is the same as momentum’s storage type, only the row slices whose indices appear in grad.indices are updated (for both weight and momentum):

for row in gradient.indices:
    v[row] = momentum[row] * v[row] - learning_rate * gradient[row]
    weight[row] += v[row]

Defined in /work/mxnet/src/operator/optimizer_op.cc:L608

lr (float, required) – Learning rate
momentum (float, optional, default=0) – The decay rate of momentum estimates at each epoch.

clip_gradient (float, optional, default=-1) – Clip gradient to the range of [-clip_gradient, clip_gradient] If clip_gradient <= 0, gradient clipping is turned off. grad = max(min(grad, clip_gradient), -clip_gradient).
lazy_update (boolean, optional, default=1) – If true, lazy updates are applied if gradient’s stype is row_sparse and both weight and momentum have the same stype
name (string, optional.) – Name of the resulting symbol.

Returns

The result symbol.

slice(data=None, begin=_Null, end=_Null, step=_Null, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Slices a region of the array.

Note

crop is deprecated. Use slice instead.

This function returns a sliced array between the indices given by begin and end with the corresponding step. For an input array of shape=(d_0, d_1, ..., d_n-1), slice operation with begin=(b_0, b_1...b_m-1), end=(e_0, e_1, ..., e_m-1), and step=(s_0, s_1, ..., s_m-1), where m <= n, results in an array with the shape (|e_0-b_0|/|s_0|, ..., |e_m-1-b_m-1|/|s_m-1|, d_m, ..., d_n-1). The resulting array’s k-th dimension contains elements from the k-th dimension of the input array starting from index b_k (inclusive) with step s_k until reaching e_k (exclusive). If the k-th elements are None in the sequence of begin, end, and step, the following rule will be used to set default values. If s_k is None, set s_k=1. If s_k > 0, set b_k=0, e_k=d_k; else, set b_k=d_k-1, e_k=-1. The storage type of slice output depends on storage types of inputs * slice(csr) = csr * otherwise, slice generates output with default storage

Note

When input data storage type is csr, it only supports step=(), or step=(None,), or step=(1,) to generate a csr output. For other step parameter values, it falls back to slicing a dense tensor.

Example:

x = [[  1.,   2.,   3.,   4.],
     [  5.,   6.,   7.,   8.],
     [  9.,  10.,  11.,  12.]]

                                   [ 6.,  7.,  8.]]
slice(x, begin=(None, 0), end=(None, 3), step=(-1, 2)) = [[9., 11.],
                                                          [5.,  7.],

where(condition=None, x=None, y=None, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Return the elements, either from x or y, depending on the condition.

Given three ndarrays, condition, x, and y, return an ndarray with the elements from x or y, depending on the elements from condition are true or false. x and y must have the same shape. If condition has the same shape as x, each element in the output array is from x if the corresponding element in the condition is true, and from y if false.

If condition does not have the same shape as x, it must be a 1D array whose size is the same as x’s first dimension size. Each row of the output array is from x’s row if the corresponding element from condition is true, and from y’s row if false.

Note that all non-zero values are interpreted as True in condition.

Examples:

x = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
y = [[5, 6], [7, 8]]
cond = [[0, 1], [-1, 0]]

where(cond, x, y) = [[5, 2], [3, 8]]

csr_cond = cast_storage(cond, 'csr')

where(csr_cond, x, y) = [[5, 2], [3, 8]]

Parameters

condition (Symbol) – condition array
x (Symbol) –
y (Symbol) –
name (string, optional.) – Name of the resulting symbol.

Returns

The result symbol.

zeros_like(data=None, name=None, attr=None, out=None, **kwargs)¶

Return an array of zeros with the same shape, type and storage type as the input array.

The storage type of zeros_like output depends on the storage type of the input

zeros_like(row_sparse) = row_sparse
zeros_like(csr) = csr
zeros_like(default) = default

Examples:

x = [[ 1.,  1.,  1.],
     [ 1.,  1.,  1.]]

zeros_like(x) = [[ 0.,  0.,  0.],
                 [ 0.,  0.,  0.]]

Parameters

data (Symbol) – The input
name (string, optional.) – Name of the resulting symbol.

Returns

The result symbol.
