ZeroBridge

class opennmt.layers.ZeroBridge(*args, **kwargs)[source]

A bridge that does not pass information from the encoder.

Inherits from: opennmt.layers.Bridge

call(states)[source]

This is where the layer’s logic lives.

The call() method may not create state (except in its first invocation, wrapping the creation of variables or other resources in tf.init_scope()). It is recommended to create state, including tf.Variable instances and nested Layer instances,

in __init__(), or in the build() method that is

called automatically before call() executes for the first time.

Parameters

  • inputs –

    Input tensor, or dict/list/tuple of input tensors. The first positional inputs argument is subject to special rules: - inputs must be explicitly passed. A layer cannot have zero

    arguments, and inputs cannot be provided via the default value of a keyword argument.

    • NumPy array or Python scalar values in inputs get cast as tensors.

    • Keras mask metadata is only collected from inputs.

    • Layers are built (build(input_shape) method) using shape info from inputs only.

    • input_spec compatibility is only checked against inputs.

    • Mixed precision input casting is only applied to inputs. If a layer has tensor arguments in *args or **kwargs, their casting behavior in mixed precision should be handled manually.

    • The SavedModel input specification is generated using inputs only.

    • Integration with various ecosystem packages like TFMOT, TFLite, TF.js, etc is only supported for inputs and not for tensors in positional and keyword arguments.

  • *args – Additional positional arguments. May contain tensors, although this is not recommended, for the reasons above.

  • **kwargs –

    Additional keyword arguments. May contain tensors, although this is not recommended, for the reasons above. The following optional keyword arguments are reserved: - training: Boolean scalar tensor of Python boolean indicating

    whether the call is meant for training or inference.

    • mask: Boolean input mask. If the layer’s call() method takes a mask argument, its default value will be set to the mask generated for inputs by the previous layer (if input did come from a layer that generated a corresponding mask, i.e. if it came from a Keras layer with masking support).

Returns

A tensor or list/tuple of tensors.
