Bases: tensorflow.python.keras.engine.base_layer.Layer

call(inputs)[source]

This is where the layer’s logic lives.

Note here that call() method in tf.keras is little bit different from keras API. In keras API, you can pass support masking for layers as additional arguments. Whereas tf.keras has compute_mask() method to support masking.

Args:
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.
compute_mask(inputs, mask=None)[source]

Computes an output mask tensor.

Args:
inputs: Tensor or list of tensors. mask: Tensor or list of tensors.
Returns:
None or a tensor (or list of tensors,
one per output tensor of the layer).
get_config()[source]

Returns the config of the layer.

A layer config is a Python dictionary (serializable) containing the configuration of a layer. The same layer can be reinstantiated later (without its trained weights) from this configuration.

The config of a layer does not include connectivity information, nor the layer class name. These are handled by Network (one layer of abstraction above).

Note that get_config() does not guarantee to return a fresh copy of dict every time it is called. The callers should make a copy of the returned dict if they want to modify it.

Returns:
Python dictionary.
class deepctr.layers.utils.Hash(num_buckets, mask_zero=False, vocabulary_path=None, default_value=0, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: tensorflow.python.keras.engine.base_layer.Layer

Looks up keys in a table when setup vocabulary_path, which outputs the corresponding values. If vocabulary_path is not set, Hash will hash the input to [0,num_buckets). When mask_zero = True, input value 0 or 0.0 will be set to 0, and other value will be set in range [1,num_buckets).

The following snippet initializes a Hash with vocabulary_path file with the first column as keys and second column as values:

  • 1,emerson
  • 2,lake
  • 3,palmer
>>> hash = Hash(
...   num_buckets=3+1,
...   vocabulary_path=filename,
...   default_value=0)
>>> hash(tf.constant('lake')).numpy()
2
>>> hash(tf.constant('lakeemerson')).numpy()
0
Args:
num_buckets: An int that is >= 1. The number of buckets or the vocabulary size + 1
when vocabulary_path is setup.
mask_zero: default is False. The Hash value will hash input 0 or 0.0 to value 0 when
the mask_zero is True. mask_zero is not used when vocabulary_path is setup.
vocabulary_path: default None. The CSV text file path of the vocabulary hash, which contains
two columns seperated by delimiter comma, the first column is the value and the second is the key. The key data type is string, the value data type is int. The path must be accessible from wherever Hash is initialized.

default_value: default ‘0’. The default value if a key is missing in the table. **kwargs: Additional keyword arguments.

build(input_shape)[source]

Creates the variables of the layer (optional, for subclass implementers).

This is a method that implementers of subclasses of Layer or Model can override if they need a state-creation step in-between layer instantiation and layer call.

This is typically used to create the weights of Layer subclasses.

Args:
input_shape: Instance of TensorShape, or list of instances of
TensorShape if the layer expects a list of inputs (one instance per input).
call(x, mask=None, **kwargs)[source]

This is where the layer’s logic lives.

Returns:

compute_output_shape(input_shape)[source]

Computes the output shape of the layer.

If the layer has not been built, this method will call build on the layer. This assumes that the layer will later be used with inputs that match the input shape provided here.

Args:
input_shape: Shape tuple (tuple of integers)
or list of shape tuples (one per output tensor of the layer). Shape tuples can include None for free dimensions, instead of an integer.
Returns:
An input shape tuple.
