Conv3D

class paddle.sparse.nn. Conv3D ( in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size, stride=1, padding=0, dilation=1, groups=1, padding_mode='zeros', weight_attr=None, bias_attr=None, data_format='NDHWC' ) [source]

Sparse Convolution3d Layer The Sparse convolution3d layer calculates the output based on the input, filter and strides, paddings, dilations, groups parameters. Input(Input) and Output(Output) are multidimensional SparseCooTensors with a shape of \([N, D, H, W, C]\) . Where N is batch size, C is the number of channels, D is the depth of the feature, H is the height of the feature, and W is the width of the feature. If bias attribution is provided, bias is added to the output of the convolution. For each input \(X\), the equation is:

\[Out = W \ast X + b\]

In the above equation:

  • \(X\): Input value, a tensor with NDHWC format.

  • \(W\): Filter value, a tensor with DHWCM format.

  • \(\\ast\): Convolution operation.

  • \(b\): Bias value, a 1-D tensor with shape [M].

  • \(Out\): Output value, the shape of \(Out\) and \(X\) may be different.

Parameters

  • in_channels (int) – The number of input channels in the input image.

  • out_channels (int) – The number of output channels produced by the convolution.

  • kernel_size (int|list|tuple) – The size of the convolving kernel.

  • stride (int|list|tuple, optional) – The stride size. If stride is a list/tuple, it must contain three integers, (stride_D, stride_H, stride_W). Otherwise, the stride_D = stride_H = stride_W = stride. The default value is 1.

  • padding (int|str|tuple|list, optional) – The padding size. Padding couple be in one of the following forms. 1. a string in [‘valid’, ‘same’]. 2. an int, which means each spatial dimension(depth, height, width) is zero padded by size of padding 3. a list[int] or tuple[int] whose length is the number of spatial dimensions, which contains the amount of padding on each side for each spatial dimension. It has the form [pad_d1, pad_d2, …]. 4. a list[int] or tuple[int] whose length is 2 * number of spatial dimensions. It has the form [pad_before, pad_after, pad_before, pad_after, …] for all spatial dimensions. 5. a list or tuple of pairs of ints. It has the form [[pad_before, pad_after], [pad_before, pad_after], …]. Note that, the batch dimension and channel dimension are also included. Each pair of integers correspond to the amount of padding for a dimension of the input. Padding in batch dimension and channel dimension should be [0, 0] or (0, 0). The default value is 0.

  • dilation (int|list|tuple, optional) – The dilation size. If dilation is a list/tuple, it must contain three integers, (dilation_D, dilation_H, dilation_W). Otherwise, the dilation_D = dilation_H = dilation_W = dilation. The default value is 1.

  • groups (int, optional) – The groups number of the Conv3D Layer. According to grouped convolution in Alex Krizhevsky’s Deep CNN paper: when group=2, the first half of the filters is only connected to the first half of the input channels, while the second half of the filters is only connected to the second half of the input channels. The default value is 1, currently, only support groups=1.

  • padding_mode (str, optional) – 'zeros', 'reflect', 'replicate' or 'circular'. Currently only support 'zeros'.

  • weight_attr (ParamAttr, optional) – The parameter attribute for learnable parameters/weights of conv3d. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv3d will create ParamAttr as param_attr. If it is set to None, the parameter is initialized with \(Normal(0.0, std)\), and the \(std\) is \((\frac{2.0 }{filter\_elem\_num})^{0.5}\). The default value is None.

  • bias_attr (ParamAttr|bool, optional) – The parameter attribute for the bias of conv3d. If it is set to False, no bias will be added to the output units. If it is set to None or one attribute of ParamAttr, conv3d will create ParamAttr as bias_attr. If the Initializer of the bias_attr is not set, the bias is initialized zero. The default value is None.

  • data_format (str, optional) – Data format that specifies the layout of input. It can be “NCDHW” or “NDHWC”. Currently, only support “NCDHW”.

Attribute:

weight (Parameter): the learnable weights of filters of this layer.

bias (Parameter): the learnable bias of this layer.

Shape:

  • x: \((N, D_{in}, H_{in}, W_{in}, C_{in})\)

  • weight: \((K_{d}, K_{h}, K_{w}, C_{in}, C_{out})\)

  • bias: \((C_{out})\)

  • output: \((N, D_{out}, H_{out}, W_{out}, C_{out})\)

Where

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}D_{out}&= \frac{(D_{in} + 2 * paddings[0] - (dilations[0] * (kernel\_size[0] - 1) + 1))}{strides[0]} + 1\\H_{out}&= \frac{(H_{in} + 2 * paddings[1] - (dilations[1] * (kernel\_size[1] - 1) + 1))}{strides[1]} + 1\\W_{out}&= \frac{(W_{in} + 2 * paddings[2] - (dilations[2] * (kernel\_size[2] - 1) + 1))}{strides[2]} + 1\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

register_buffer ( name, tensor, persistable=True )

register_buffer

Registers a tensor as buffer into the layer.

buffer is a non-trainable tensor and will not be updated by optimizer, but is necessary for evaluation and inference. For example, the mean and variance in BatchNorm layers. The registered buffer is persistable by default, and will be saved into state_dict alongside parameters. If set persistable=False, it registers a non-persistable buffer, so that it will not be a part of state_dict .

Buffers can be accessed as attributes using given names.

Parameters

  • name (string) – name of the buffer. The buffer can be accessed from this layer using the given name

  • tensor (Tensor) – the tensor to be registered as buffer.

  • persistable (bool) – whether the buffer is part of this layer’s state_dict.

Returns

None

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import paddle

>>> linear = paddle.nn.Linear(10, 3)
>>> value = np.array([0]).astype("float32")
>>> buffer = paddle.to_tensor(value)
>>> linear.register_buffer("buf_name", buffer, persistable=True)

Returns

register_forward_pre_hook ( hook )

register_forward_pre_hook

Register a forward pre-hook for Layer. The hook will be called before forward function has been computed.
