glu¶

paddle.fluid.nets.glu(input, dim=-1)[source]

The Gated Linear Units(GLU) composed by split , sigmoid and elementwise_mul . Specifically, GLU will plit the input into two equal-sized parts, \(a\) and \(b\), along the given dimension and then compute as following:

\[{GLU}(a, b)= a \otimes \sigma(b)\]

Refer to Language Modeling with Gated Convolutional Networks.

Parameters

• input (Variable) – The input variable which is a Tensor or LoDTensor. The supported data types include float32, float64 and float16 (only for GPU).

• dim (int, optional) – The dimension along which to split. If \(dim < 0\), the dimension to split along is \(rank(input) + dim\). Default -1.

Returns

Variable with half the size and same data type of input.

Return type

Variable

Examples

import paddle.fluid as fluid
data = fluid.data(
    name="words", shape=[-1, 6, 3, 9], dtype="float32")
# shape of output: [-1, 3, 3, 9]
output = fluid.nets.glu(input=data, dim=1)
