class BaseModel

Bases: abc.ABC

Inheritance diagram of garage.tf.models.BaseModel

Interface-only abstract class for models.

A Model contains the structure/configuration of a set of computation graphs, or can be understood as a set of networks. Using a model requires calling build() with given input placeholder, which can be either tf.compat.v1.placeholder, or the output from another model. This makes composition of complex models with simple models much easier.

Examples

model = SimpleModel(output_dim=2) # To use a model, first create a placeholder. # In the case of TensorFlow, we create a tf.compat.v1.placeholder. input_ph = tf.compat.v1.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=(None, 2))

# Building the model output = model.build(input_ph)

# We can also pass the output of a model to another model. # Here we pass the output from the above SimpleModel object. model_2 = ComplexModel(output_dim=2) output_2 = model_2.build(output)

name

Name for this Model.

parameters

Return type:list[tf.Tensor]
build(self, *inputs, name=None)

This function is implemented by subclasses to create their computation graphs, which will be managed by Model. Generally, subclasses should implement build() directly.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – Name of the model.
Returns:

Output(s) of the model.

Return type:

list[tf.Tensor]

class Model(name)

Bases: garage.tf.models.model.BaseModel, garage.tf.models.module.Module

Inheritance diagram of garage.tf.models.Model

Model class for TensorFlow.

A TfModel only contains the structure/configuration of the underlying computation graphs. Connectivity information are all in Network class. A TfModel contains zero or more Network.

When a Network is created, it reuses the parameter from the model. If a Network is built without given a name, the name “default” will be used.

* Do not call tf.global_variable_initializers() after building a model as it will reassign random weights to the model. The parameters inside a model will be initialized when calling build(). *

Pickling is handled automatcailly. The target weights should be assigned to self._default_parameters before pickling, so that the newly created model can check if target weights exist or not. When unpickled, the unserialized model will load the weights from self._default_parameters.

The design is illustrated as the following:

input_1 input_2

============== Model (TfModel)=================== | | | | | | Parameters | | | ============= / ============ | | | default | / | Network2 | | | | (Network) |/ |(Network) | | | ============= ============ | | | | | =================================================

(outputs from ‘default’ networks) |
outputs from [‘Network2’] network

Examples are also available in tests/garage/tf/models/test_model.
