Interface Batchifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

StackBatchifier

public interface Batchifier

An interface that provides methods to convert an un-batched NDList into a batched NDList and vice versa.

Different implementations of Batchifier represent different ways of creating batches. The most common would be the StackBatchifier that batchifies by creating a new batch axis as axis 0. Another implementation could be a concatenated batchifier for sequence elements that will concatenate the data elements along the time axis.

Method Detail

batchify

NDList batchify(NDList[] inputs)

Converts an array of NDList into an NDList.

The size of the input array is the batch size. The data in each of the NDList are assumed to be the same, and are batched together to form one batched NDList.

Parameters:

inputs - the input array of NDList where each element is a

Returns:

the batchified NDList

unbatchify

NDList[] unbatchify(NDList inputs)

Reverses the batchify operation.

Parameters:

inputs - the NDList that needs to be 'unbatchified'

Returns:

an array of NDLists, of size equal to batch size, where each NDList is one element from the batch of inputs

split

default NDList[] split(NDList list,
                       int numOfSlices,
                       boolean evenSplit)

Splits the given NDList into the given number of slices.

This function unbatchifies the input NDList, redistributes them into the given number of slices, and then batchify each of the slices to form an array of NDList.

Parameters:

list - the NDList that needs to be split

numOfSlices - the number of slices the list must be sliced into

evenSplit - whether each slice must have the same shape

Returns:

an array of NDList that contains all the slices
