SigmoidTransform¶

class paddle.distribution. SigmoidTransform [source]

Sigmoid transformation with mapping \(y = \frac{1}{1 + \exp(-x)}\) and \(x = \text{logit}(y)\).

Examples

>>> import paddle

>>> x = paddle.ones((2,3))
>>> t = paddle.distribution.SigmoidTransform()
>>> print(t.forward(x))
Tensor(shape=[2, 3], dtype=float32, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
        [[0.73105860, 0.73105860, 0.73105860],
         [0.73105860, 0.73105860, 0.73105860]])
>>> print(t.inverse(t.forward(x)))
Tensor(shape=[2, 3], dtype=float32, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
        [[1.00000012, 1.00000012, 1.00000012],
         [1.00000012, 1.00000012, 1.00000012]])
>>> print(t.forward_log_det_jacobian(x))
Tensor(shape=[2, 3], dtype=float32, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
        [[-1.62652326, -1.62652326, -1.62652326],
         [-1.62652326, -1.62652326, -1.62652326]])

forward ( x )

forward¶

Forward transformation with mapping \(y = f(x)\).

Useful for turning one random outcome into another.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – Input parameter, generally is a sample generated from Distribution.

Returns

Outcome of forward transformation.

Return type

Tensor

forward_log_det_jacobian ( x )

forward_log_det_jacobian¶

The log of the absolute value of the determinant of the matrix of all first-order partial derivatives of the inverse function.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – Input tensor, generally is a sample generated from Distribution

Returns

The log of the absolute value of Jacobian determinant.

Return type

Tensor

forward_shape ( shape )

forward_shape¶

Infer the shape of forward transformation.

Parameters

shape (Sequence[int]) – The input shape.

Returns

The output shape.

Return type

Sequence[int]

inverse ( y )

inverse¶

Inverse transformation \(x = f^{-1}(y)\). It’s useful for “reversing” a transformation to compute one probability in terms of another.

Parameters

y (Tensor) – Input parameter for inverse transformation.

Returns

Outcome of inverse transform.

Return type

Tensor

inverse_log_det_jacobian ( y )

inverse_log_det_jacobian¶

Compute \(log|det J_{f^{-1}}(y)|\). Note that forward_log_det_jacobian is the negative of this function, evaluated at \(f^{-1}(y)\).

Parameters

y (Tensor) – The input to the inverse Jacobian determinant evaluation.

Returns

The value of \(log|det J_{f^{-1}}(y)|\).

Return type

Tensor

inverse_shape ( shape )

inverse_shape¶

Infer the shape of inverse transformation.

Parameters

shape (Sequence[int]) – The input shape of inverse transformation.

Returns

The output shape of inverse transformation.

Return type

Sequence[int]
