Activations

Paddle Supported Activations.

Each activation inherit BaseActivation, which has two attributes.

  • name: activation name in paddle config.

  • support_hppl: True if supported by hppl. lstm layer can only use activations

    supported by hppl (the name hppl will be revised later).

class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.BaseActivation(name, support_hppl)

A mark for activation class.

class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.TanhActivation

Tanh activation.

\[f(z)=tanh(z)=\frac{e^z-e^{-z}}{e^z+e^{-z}}\]
class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.SigmoidActivation

Sigmoid activation.

\[f(z) = \frac{1}{1+exp(-z)}\]
class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.SoftmaxActivation

Softmax activation for simple input

\[P(y=j|x) = \frac{e^{x_j}} {\sum^K_{k=1} e^{x_j} }\]
class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.SequenceSoftmaxActivation

Softmax activation for one sequence. The dimension of input feature must be 1 and a sequence.

result = softmax(for each_feature_vector[0] in input_feature)
for i, each_time_step_output in enumerate(output):
    each_time_step_output = result[i]
class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.IdentityActivation

Identity Activation.

Just do nothing for output both forward/backward.

paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.LinearActivation

alias of IdentityActivation

class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.ReluActivation

Relu activation.

forward. \(y = max(0, z)\)

derivative:

\[\begin{split}1 &\quad if z > 0 \\ 0 &\quad\mathrm{otherwize}\end{split}\]
class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.BReluActivation

BRelu Activation.

forward. \(y = min(24, max(0, z))\)

derivative:

\[\begin{split}1 &\quad if 0 < z < 24 \\ 0 &\quad \mathrm{otherwise}\end{split}\]
class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.SoftReluActivation

SoftRelu Activation.

class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.STanhActivation

Scaled Tanh Activation.

\[f(z) = 1.7159 * tanh(2/3*z)\]
class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.AbsActivation

Abs Activation.

Forward: \(f(z) = abs(z)\)

Derivative:

\[\begin{split}1 &\quad if \quad z > 0 \\ -1 &\quad if \quad z < 0 \\ 0 &\quad if \quad z = 0\end{split}\]
class paddle.trainer_config_helpers.activations.SquareActivation

Square Activation.

\[f(z) = z^2.\]
