In Eclipse Deeplearning4j a vertex is a type of layer that acts as a node in a ComputationGraph. It can accept multiple inputs, provide multiple outputs, and can help construct popular networks such as InceptionV4.
L2NormalizeVertex performs L2 normalization on a single input.
L2Vertex calculates the L2 least squares error of two inputs.
For example, in Triplet Embedding you can input an anchor and a pos/neg class and use two parallel L2 vertices to calculate two real numbers which can be fed into a LossLayer to calculate TripletLoss.
Adds the ability to reshape and flatten the tensor in the computation graph. This is the equivalent to the next layer. ReshapeVertex also ensures the shape is valid for the backward pass.
A ScaleVertex is used to scale the size of activations of a single layer For example, ResNet activations can be scaled in repeating blocks to keep variance under control.
A ShiftVertex is used to shift the activations of a single layer One could use it to add a bias or as part of some other calculation. For example, Highway Layers need them in two places. One, it’s often useful to have the gate weights have a large negative bias. (Of course for this, we could just initialize the biases that way.) But, also it needs to do this: (1-sigmoid(weight input + bias)) () input + sigmoid(weight input + bias) () activation(w2 input + bias) (() is hadamard product) So, here, we could have
a DenseLayer that does the sigmoid
a ScaleVertex(-1) and
a ShiftVertex(1) to accomplish that.
StackVertex allows for stacking of inputs so that they may be forwarded through a network. This is useful for cases such as Triplet Embedding, where shared parameters are not supported by the network.
This vertex will automatically stack all available inputs.
UnstackVertex allows for unstacking of inputs so that they may be forwarded through a network. This is useful for cases such as Triplet Embedding, where embeddings can be separated and run through subsequent layers.
Works similarly to SubsetVertex, except on dimension 0 of the input. stackSize is explicitly defined by the user to properly calculate an step.
ReverseTimeSeriesVertex is used in recurrent neural networks to revert the order of time series. As a result, the last time step is moved to the beginning of the time series and the first time step is moved to the end. This allows recurrent layers to backward process time series.
Masks: The input might be masked (to allow for varying time series lengths in one minibatch). In this case the present input (mask array = 1) will be reverted in place and the padding (mask array = 0) will be left untouched at the same place. For a time series of length n, this would normally mean, that the first n time steps are reverted and the following padding is left untouched, but more complex masks are supported (e.g. [1, 0, 1, 0, …].
