Class MergeVertex

java.lang.Object

org.deeplearning4j.nn.conf.graph.GraphVertex

org.deeplearning4j.nn.conf.graph.MergeVertex

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public class MergeVertex
extends GraphVertex

A MergeVertex is used to combine the activations of two or more layers/GraphVertex by means of concatenation/merging.
Exactly how this is done depends on the type of input.
For 2d (feed forward layer) inputs: MergeVertex([numExamples,layerSize1],[numExamples,layerSize2]) -> [numExamples,layerSize1 + layerSize2]
For 3d (time series) inputs: MergeVertex([numExamples,layerSize1,timeSeriesLength],[numExamples,layerSize2,timeSeriesLength]) -> [numExamples,layerSize1 + layerSize2,timeSeriesLength]
For 4d (convolutional) inputs: MergeVertex([numExamples,depth1,width,height],[numExamples,depth2,width,height]) -> [numExamples,depth1 + depth2,width,height]

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class GraphVertex

                               boolean initializeParams)

Description copied from class: GraphVertex

Create a GraphVertex instance, for the given computation graph, given the configuration instance.

Specified by:

instantiate in class GraphVertex

Parameters:

graph - The computation graph that this GraphVertex is to be part of

name - The name of the GraphVertex object

idx - The index of the GraphVertex

paramsView - A view of the full parameters array

initializeParams - If true: initialize the parameters. If false: make no change to the values in the paramsView array

Returns:

The implementation GraphVertex object (i.e., implementation, no the configuration)

getOutputType

public InputType getOutputType(int layerIndex,
                               InputType... vertexInputs)
                        throws InvalidInputTypeException

Description copied from class: GraphVertex

Determine the type of output for this GraphVertex, given the specified inputs. Given that a GraphVertex may do arbitrary processing or modifications of the inputs, the output types can be quite different to the input type(s).
This is generally used to determine when to add preprocessors, as well as the input sizes etc for layers

Specified by:

getOutputType in class GraphVertex

Parameters:

layerIndex - The index of the layer (if appropriate/necessary).

vertexInputs - The inputs to this vertex

Returns:

The type of output for this vertex

Throws:

InvalidInputTypeException - If the input type is invalid for this type of GraphVertex
