tf.random_normal_initializer

Initializer that generates tensors with a normal distribution.

tf.random_normal_initializer(
    mean=0.0, stddev=0.05, seed=None
)

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.random_normal_initializer(mean=1., stddev=2.))
v1
<tf.Variable ... shape=(3,) ... numpy=array([...], dtype=float32)>
v2
<tf.Variable ... shape=(3, 3) ... numpy=

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)

get_config

View source

get_config()

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

__call__

View source

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

Returns a tensor object initialized as specified by the initializer.
