Python Tensorflow – tf.keras.layers.Conv1DTranspose() Function

The tf.keras.layers.Conv1DTranspose() function is used to apply the transposed 1D convolution operation, also known as deconvolution, on data.

Syntax:tf.keras.layers.Conv1DTranspose( filters, kernel_size, strides=1, padding=’valid’, output_padding=None,   data_format=None, dilation_rate=1, activation=None, use_bias=True, kernel_initializer=’glorot_uniform’, bias_initializer=’zeros’, kernel_regularizer=None, bias_regularizer=None, activity_regularizer=None, kernel_constraint=None, bias_constraint=None,  **kwargs)

Input Shape: A 3D tensor of shape: (batch_size, steps, channels)

Output Shape: A 3D tensor of shape: (batch_size, new_steps, filters)

Parameters:

• filters (Integer): The output space’s dimensionality (i.e. the number of output filters in the convolution).
• kernel_size (Integer): The 1D convolution window’s integer length.
• strides: The stride of the convolution along the time dimension.
• padding: The padding mode.
• output_padding:
• data_format: The data format. This specifies the order in which the dimensions in the inputs are ordered. channels_last is the default value.
• dilation_rate: In each dimension, the dilation rate to utilize for the dilated convolution. It should be an integer.
• activation: The layer’s activation function.
• use_bias (Boolean): If the layer has a bias vector or not. True is the default value.
• kernel_initializer: The convolutional kernel weights matrix’s initializer.
• bias_initializer: The bias vector’s initializer.
• kernel_regularizer: The regularizer function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
• bias_regularizer: The regularizer function applied to the bias vector.
• activity_regularizer: The regularizer function applied to the activation.
• kernel_constraint: The constraint for the convolutional kernel weights.
• bias_constraint: The constraint for the bias vector.

Returns: A 3D tensor representing activation(conv1dtranspose(inputs, kernel) + bias).
