TransposedConvolution1DLayer

Transposed 1-D convolution layer

Since R2022a

    Description

    A transposed 1-D convolution layer upsamples one-dimensional feature maps.

    This layer is sometimes incorrectly known as a "deconvolution" or "deconv" layer. This layer performs the transpose of convolution and does not perform deconvolution.

    Creation

    Create a transposed convolution 1-D layer using transposedConv1dLayer.

    Transposed Convolution

    Length of the filters, specified as a positive integer. The filter size defines the size of the local regions to which the neurons connect in the input.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    This property is read-only.

    Number of filters, specified as a positive integer. This number corresponds to the number of neurons in the layer that connect to the same region in the input. This parameter determines the number of channels (feature maps) in the layer output.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    Step size for traversing the input, specified as a positive integer.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    Method to determine cropping size, specified as 'manual' or 'same'.

    The software automatically sets the value of CroppingMode based on the Cropping value you specify when creating the layer.

    • If you set the Cropping option to a numeric value, then the software automatically sets the CroppingMode property of the layer to 'manual'.

    • If you set the Cropping option to 'same', then the software automatically sets the CroppingMode property of the layer to 'same' and set the cropping so that the output size equals inputSize.*Stride, where inputSize is the length of the layer input.

    To specify the cropping size, use the Cropping option of transposedConv1dLayer.

    This property is read-only.

    Number of input channels, specified as one of the following:

    • 'auto' — Automatically determine the number of input channels at training time.

    • Positive integer — Configure the layer for the specified number of input channels. NumChannels and the number of channels in the layer input data must match. For example, if the input is an RGB image, then NumChannels must be 3. If the input is the output of a convolutional layer with 16 filters, then NumChannels must be 16.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | char | string

    Parameters and Initialization

    Function to initialize the weights, specified as one of the following:

    • 'glorot' — Initialize the weights with the Glorot initializer [1] (also known as the Xavier initializer). The Glorot initializer independently samples from a uniform distribution with a mean of zero and a variance of 2/(numIn + numOut), where numIn = FilterSize*NumChannels and numOut = FilterSize*NumFilters.

    • 'he' – Initialize the weights with the He initializer [2]. The He initializer samples from a normal distribution with a mean of zero and a variance of 2/numIn, where numIn = FilterSize*NumChannels.

    • 'narrow-normal' — Initialize the weights by independently sampling from a normal distribution with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 0.01.

    • 'zeros' — Initialize the weights with zeros.

    • 'ones' — Initialize the weights with ones.

    • Function handle — Initialize the weights with a custom function. If you specify a function handle, then the function must be of the form weights = func(sz), where sz is the size of the weights. For an example, see Specify Custom Weight Initialization Function.

    The layer only initializes the weights when the Weights property is empty.

    Data Types: char | string | function_handle

    Function to initialize the biases, specified as one of these values:

    • "zeros" — Initialize the biases with zeros.

    • "ones" — Initialize the biases with ones.

    • "narrow-normal" — Initialize the biases by independently sampling from a normal distribution with a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 0.01.

    • Function handle — Initialize the biases with a custom function. If you specify a function handle, then the function must have the form bias = func(sz), where sz is the size of the biases.

    The layer initializes the biases only when the Bias property is empty.

    Data Types: char | string | function_handle

    Layer weights for the transposed convolution operation, specified as a FilterSize-by-NumFilters-by-NumChannels numeric array or [].

    The layer weights are learnable parameters. You can specify the initial value of the weights directly using the Weights property of the layer. When you train a network, if the Weights property of the layer is nonempty, then the trainnet and trainNetwork functions use the Weights property as the initial value. If the Weights property is empty, then the software uses the initializer specified by the WeightsInitializer property of the layer.

    Data Types: single | double

    Layer biases for the transposed convolutional operation, specified as a 1-by-NumFilters numeric array or [].

    The layer biases are learnable parameters. When you train a neural network, if Bias is nonempty, then the trainnet and trainNetwork functions use the Bias property as the initial value. If Bias is empty, then software uses the initializer specified by BiasInitializer.

    Data Types: single | double

    Learning Rate and Regularization

    Learning rate factor for the weights, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

    The software multiplies this factor by the global learning rate to determine the learning rate for the weights in this layer. For example, if WeightLearnRateFactor is 2, then the learning rate for the weights in this layer is twice the current global learning rate. The software determines the global learning rate based on the settings you specify using the trainingOptions function.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    Learning rate factor for the biases, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

    The software multiplies this factor by the global learning rate to determine the learning rate for the biases in this layer. For example, if BiasLearnRateFactor is 2, then the learning rate for the biases in the layer is twice the current global learning rate. The software determines the global learning rate based on the settings you specify using the trainingOptions function.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    L2 regularization factor for the weights, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

    The software multiplies this factor by the global L2 regularization factor to determine the L2 regularization for the weights in this layer. For example, if WeightL2Factor is 2, then the L2 regularization for the weights in this layer is twice the global L2 regularization factor. You can specify the global L2 regularization factor using the trainingOptions function.

    Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

    L2 regularization factor for the biases, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

    The software multiplies this factor by the global L2 regularization factor to determine the L2 regularization for the biases in this layer. For example, if BiasL2Factor is 2, then the L2 regularization for the biases in this layer is twice the global L2 regularization factor. The software determines the global L2 regularization factor based on the settings you specify using the trainingOptions function.
