Description

The operator create_dl_layer_elementwisecreate_dl_layer_elementwiseCreateDlLayerElementwiseCreateDlLayerElementwiseCreateDlLayerElementwisecreate_dl_layer_elementwise creates an element-wise layer whose handle is returned in DLLayerElementWiseDLLayerElementWiseDLLayerElementWiseDLLayerElementWiseDLLayerElementWisedllayer_element_wise.

An elementwise layer applies a certain operation to every data tensor of the input layers handles and to each element of the data tensor. As a consequence, all input data tensors should be of the same shape and the output tensor has the same shape as the first input tensor.

The parameter DLLayerInputsDLLayerInputsDLLayerInputsDLLayerInputsDLLayerInputsdllayer_inputs determines the feeding input layers. This layer expects multiple layers as input.

The parameter LayerNameLayerNameLayerNameLayerNamelayerNamelayer_name sets an individual layer name. Note that if creating a model using create_dl_modelcreate_dl_modelCreateDlModelCreateDlModelCreateDlModelcreate_dl_model each layer of the created network must have a unique name.

The parameter OperationOperationOperationOperationoperationoperation specifies the operation that is applied. Depending on OperationOperationOperationOperationoperationoperation, the layer supports implicit broadcasting. I.e., if one of the shape dimensions (batch_size, depth, height, width) of the second or any of the following input tensors is 1, the values are implicitly multiplied along that dimension to match the shape of the first input. The supported values are:

• 'maximum'"maximum""maximum""maximum""maximum""maximum": Element-wise maximum. Broadcasting is fully supported.

• 'minimum'"minimum""minimum""minimum""minimum""minimum": Element-wise minimum. Broadcasting is fully supported.

• 'product'"product""product""product""product""product": Element-wise product. Broadcasting is supported, but all inputs following the second input must have the same shape as the second input.

• 'sum'"sum""sum""sum""sum""sum": Element-wise summation. Broadcasting is not supported.

The optional parameter CoefficientsCoefficientsCoefficientsCoefficientscoefficientscoefficients determines a weighting coefficient for every input tensor. The number of values in CoefficientsCoefficientsCoefficientsCoefficientscoefficientscoefficients must match the number of feeding layers in DLLayerInputsDLLayerInputsDLLayerInputsDLLayerInputsDLLayerInputsdllayer_inputs. Set CoefficientsCoefficientsCoefficientsCoefficientscoefficientscoefficients equal to [] if no coefficients shall be used in the element-wise operation.

Restriction: No coefficients can be set for OperationOperationOperationOperationoperationoperation = 'product'"product""product""product""product""product".

Example: for OperationOperationOperationOperationoperationoperation = 'sum'"sum""sum""sum""sum""sum", the -th element of the output data tensor is given by where is the number of input data tensors.

The following generic parameters GenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNameGenParamNamegenParamNamegen_param_name and the corresponding values GenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValueGenParamValuegenParamValuegen_param_value are supported:

'is_inference_output'"is_inference_output""is_inference_output""is_inference_output""is_inference_output""is_inference_output":
