The need for transposed convolutions generally arise from the desire to use
a transformation going in the opposite direction of a normal convolution,
i.e., from something that has the shape of the output of some convolution
to something that has the shape of its input while maintaining a
connectivity pattern that is compatible with said convolution.
Args
filters
int, the dimension of the output space (the number of filters
in the transpose convolution).
kernel_size
int or tuple/list of 1 integer, specifying the size of the
transposed convolution window.
strides
int or tuple/list of 1 integer, specifying the stride length
of the transposed convolution. strides > 1 is incompatible with
dilation_rate > 1.
padding
string, either "valid" or "same" (case-insensitive).
"valid" means no padding. "same" results in padding evenly to
the left/right or up/down of the input such that output has the same
height/width dimension as the input.
output_padding
An integer tuple/list of 1 integer specifying the
amount of padding along the time dimension of the output tensor.
The amount of output padding must be lower than the stride.
If set to None (default), the output shape is inferred.
data_format
string, either "channels_last" or "channels_first".
The ordering of the dimensions in the inputs. "channels_last"
corresponds to inputs with shape (batch, steps, features)
while "channels_first" corresponds to inputs with shape
(batch, features, steps). It defaults to the image_data_format
value found in your Keras config file at ~/.keras/keras.json.
If you never set it, then it will be "channels_last".
dilation_rate
An integer tuple/list of 1 integer, specifying
the dilation rate to use for dilated convolution.
Currently, specifying a dilation_rate value != 1 is
incompatible with specifying a stride value != 1.
Also dilation rate larger than 1 is not currently supported.
activation
Activation function. If None, no activation is applied.
use_bias
bool, if True, bias will be added to the output.
kernel_initializer
Initializer for the convolution kernel. If None,
the default initializer ("glorot_uniform") will be used.
bias_initializer
Initializer for the bias vector. If None, the
default initializer ("zeros") will be used.
kernel_regularizer
Optional regularizer for the convolution kernel.
bias_regularizer
Optional regularizer for the bias vector.
activity_regularizer
Optional regularizer function for the output.
kernel_constraint
Optional projection function to be applied to the
kernel after being updated by an Optimizer (e.g. used to implement
norm constraints or value constraints for layer weights). The
function must take as input the unprojected variable and must return
the projected variable (which must have the same shape). Constraints
are not safe to use when doing asynchronous distributed training.
bias_constraint
Optional projection function to be applied to the
bias after being updated by an Optimizer.
Input shape:
If data_format="channels_last":
A 3D tensor with shape: (batch_shape, steps, channels)
If data_format="channels_first":
A 3D tensor with shape: (batch_shape, channels, steps)
Output shape:
If data_format="channels_last":
A 3D tensor with shape: (batch_shape, new_steps, filters)
If data_format="channels_first":
A 3D tensor with shape: (batch_shape, filters, new_steps)
Returns
A 3D tensor representing
activation(conv1d_transpose(inputs, kernel) + bias).
