tf.compat.v2.keras.initializers.GlorotUniform

The Glorot uniform initializer, also called Xavier uniform initializer.

Inherits From: VarianceScaling

It draws samples from a uniform distribution within [-limit, limit] where limit is sqrt(6 / (fan_in + fan_out)) where fan_in is the number of input units in the weight tensor and fan_out is the number of output units in the weight tensor.

Args
seed A Python integer. Used to create random seeds. See tf.compat.v1.set_random_seed for behavior.

Methods

from_config

View source

Instantiates an initializer from a configuration dictionary.

Example:

initializer = RandomUniform(-1, 1)
config = initializer.get_config()
initializer = RandomUniform.from_config(config)
Args
config A Python dictionary. It will typically be the output of get_config.
Returns
An Initializer instance.

get_config

View source

Returns the configuration of the initializer as a JSON-serializable dict.

Returns
A JSON-serializable Python dict.

__call__

View source

Returns a tensor object initialized as specified by the initializer.

Args
shape Shape of the tensor.
dtype Optional dtype of the tensor. Only floating point types are supported.
Raises
ValueError If the dtype is not floating point
