Embedding layers

class lasagne.layers.EmbeddingLayer(incoming, input_size, output_size, W=lasagne.init.Normal(), **kwargs)[source]

A layer for word embeddings. The input should be an integer type Tensor variable.

Parameters:
incoming : a Layer instance or a tuple

The layer feeding into this layer, or the expected input shape.

input_size: int

The Number of different embeddings. The last embedding will have index input_size - 1.

output_size : int

The size of each embedding.

W : Theano shared variable, expression, numpy array or callable

Initial value, expression or initializer for the embedding matrix. This should be a matrix with shape (input_size, output_size). See lasagne.utils.create_param() for more information.

Examples

>>> from lasagne.layers import EmbeddingLayer, InputLayer, get_output
>>> import theano
>>> x = T.imatrix()
>>> l_in = InputLayer((3, ))
>>> W = np.arange(3*5).reshape((3, 5)).astype('float32')
>>> l1 = EmbeddingLayer(l_in, input_size=3, output_size=5, W=W)
>>> output = get_output(l1, x)
>>> f = theano.function([x], output)
>>> x_test = np.array([[0, 2], [1, 2]]).astype('int32')
>>> f(x_test)
