tf.zeros_initializer

TensorFlow 1 version View source on GitHub

Initializer that generates tensors initialized to 0.

Initializers allow you to pre-specify an initialization strategy, encoded in the Initializer object, without knowing the shape and dtype of the variable being initialized.

Examples:

def make_variables(k, initializer):
  return (tf.Variable(initializer(shape=[k], dtype=tf.float32)),
          tf.Variable(initializer(shape=[k, k], dtype=tf.float32)))
v1, v2 = make_variables(3, tf.zeros_initializer())
v1
<tf.Variable ... shape=(3,) ... numpy=array([0., 0., 0.], dtype=float32)>
v2
<tf.Variable ... shape=(3, 3) ... numpy=
array([[0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.]], dtype=float32)>
make_variables(4, tf.random_uniform_initializer(minval=-1., maxval=1.))
(<tf.Variable...shape=(4,) dtype=float32...>, <tf.Variable...shape=(4, 4) ...

Methods

from_config

View source

@classmethod
from_config(
    config
)

Instantiates an initializer from a configuration dictionary.

Example:

initializer = RandomUniform(-1, 1)
config = initializer.get_config()
initializer = RandomUniform.from_config(config)

Args
config A Python dictionary. It will typically be the output of get_config.

Returns
An Initializer instance.

get_config

View source

get_config()

Returns the configuration of the initializer as a JSON-serializable dict.

Returns
A JSON-serializable Python dict.

__call__

View source

__call__(
    shape, dtype=tf.dtypes.float32
)

Returns a tensor object initialized as specified by the initializer.

Args
shape Shape of the tensor.
dtype Optional dtype of the tensor. Only numeric or boolean dtypes are supported.

Raises
ValuesError If the dtype is not numeric or boolean.
