>>> fc1 = paddle.nn.Linear(10, 3)
>>> fc2 = paddle.nn.Linear(3, 10, bias_attr=False)

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)

>>> # get the buffer by attribute.
>>> print(linear.buf_name)

[0.])

            

register_forward_post_hook ( hook ) register_forward_post_hook¶

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

It should have the following form, input and output of the hook is input and output of the Layer respectively. User can use forward post-hook to change the output of the Layer or perform information statistics tasks on the Layer.

hook(Layer, input, output) -> None or modified output

Parameters: hook (function) – a function registered as a forward post-hook
Returns: HookRemoveHelper, a HookRemoveHelper object that can be used to remove the added hook by calling hook_remove_helper.remove() .

Examples

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

>>> # the forward_post_hook change the output of the layer: output = output * 2
>>> def forward_post_hook(layer, input, output):
...     # user can use layer, input and output for information statistics tasks
...
...     # change the output
...     return output * 2
...
>>> linear = paddle.nn.Linear(13, 5)

>>> # register the hook
>>> forward_post_hook_handle = linear.register_forward_post_hook(forward_post_hook)

>>> value1 = np.arange(26).reshape(2, 13).astype("float32")
>>> in1 = paddle.to_tensor(value1)

>>> out0 = linear(in1)

>>> # remove the hook
>>> forward_post_hook_handle.remove()

>>> out1 = linear(in1)

>>> # hook change the linear's output to output * 2, so out0 is equal to out1 * 2.
>>> assert (out0.numpy() == (out1.numpy()) * 2).any()

            

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.

It should have the following form, input of the hook is input of the Layer, hook can either return a tuple or a single modified value in the hook. We will wrap the value into a tuple if a single value is returned(unless that value is already a tuple). User can use forward pre-hook to change the input of the Layer or perform information statistics tasks on the Layer.

hook(Layer, input) -> None or modified input

Parameters: hook (function) – a function registered as a forward pre-hook
Returns: HookRemoveHelper, a HookRemoveHelper object that can be used to remove the added hook by calling hook_remove_helper.remove() .

Examples

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

>>> # the forward_pre_hook change the input of the layer: input = input * 2
>>> def forward_pre_hook(layer, input):
...     # user can use layer and input for information statistics tasks
...
...     # change the input
...     input_return = (input[0] * 2)
...     return input_return
...
>>> linear = paddle.nn.Linear(13, 5)

>>> # register the hook
>>> forward_pre_hook_handle = linear.register_forward_pre_hook(forward_pre_hook)

>>> value0 = np.arange(26).reshape(2, 13).astype("float32")
>>> in0 = paddle.to_tensor(value0)
>>> out0 = linear(in0)

>>> # remove the hook
>>> forward_pre_hook_handle.remove()

>>> value1 = value0 * 2
>>> in1 = paddle.to_tensor(value1)
>>> out1 = linear(in1)

>>> # hook change the linear's input to input * 2, so out0 is equal to out1.
>>> assert (out0.numpy() == out1.numpy()).any()
