Applies Alpha Dropout to the input.

Alpha Dropout is a Dropout that keeps mean and variance of inputs to their original values, in order to ensure the self-normalizing property even after this dropout. Alpha Dropout fits well to Scaled Exponential Linear Units (SELU) by randomly setting activations to the negative saturation value.

Usage

layer_alpha_dropout(object, rate, noise_shape = NULL, seed = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object

Object to compose the layer with. A tensor, array, or sequential model.

rate

Float between 0 and 1. The multiplicative noise will have standard deviation sqrt(rate / (1 - rate)).

noise_shape

1D integer tensor representing the shape of the binary alpha dropout mask that will be multiplied with the input. For instance, if your inputs have shape (batch_size, timesteps, features) and you want the alpha dropout mask to be the same for all timesteps, you can use noise_shape = (batch_size, 1, features).

seed

An integer to use as random seed.

...

For forward/backward compatability.

Value

The return value depends on the value provided for the first argument. If object is:

• a keras_model_sequential(), then the layer is added to the sequential model (which is modified in place). To enable piping, the sequential model is also returned, invisibly.

• a keras_input(), then the output tensor from calling layer(input) is returned.

• NULL or missing, then a Layer instance is returned.

Call Arguments

• inputs: Input tensor (of any rank).

• training: R boolean indicating whether the layer should behave in training mode (adding alpha dropout) or in inference mode (doing nothing).
