keras3 (version 1.3.0)

Model: Subclass the base Keras Model Class

Description

This is for advanced use cases where you need to subclass the base Model type, e.g., you want to override the train_step() method.

If you just want to create or define a keras model, prefer keras_model() or keras_model_sequential().

If you just want to encapsulate some custom logic and state, and don't need to customize training behavior (besides calling self$add_loss() in the call() method), prefer Layer().

Usage

Model(
  classname,
  initialize = NULL,
  call = NULL,
  train_step = NULL,
  predict_step = NULL,
  test_step = NULL,
  compute_loss = NULL,
  compute_metrics = NULL,
  ...,
  public = list(),
  private = list(),
  inherit = NULL,
  parent_env = parent.frame()
)

Value

A model constructor function, which you can call to create an instance of the new model type.

Arguments

classname

String, the name of the custom class. (Conventionally, CamelCase).

initialize, call, train_step, predict_step, test_step, compute_loss, compute_metrics

Optional methods that can be overridden.

..., public

Additional methods or public members of the custom class.

private

Named list of R objects (typically, functions) to include in instance private environments. private methods will have all the same symbols in scope as public methods (See section "Symbols in Scope"). Each instance will have it's own private environment. Any objects in private will be invisible from the Keras framework and the Python runtime.

inherit

What the custom class will subclass. By default, the base keras class.

parent_env

The R environment that all class methods will have as a grandparent.

Symbols in scope

All R function custom methods (public and private) will have the following symbols in scope:

• self: The custom class instance.

• super: The custom class superclass.

• private: An R environment specific to the class instance. Any objects assigned here are invisible to the Keras framework.

• __class__ and as.symbol(classname): the custom class type object.
