ScalarMix

class ScalarMix(torch.nn.Module):
 | def __init__(
 |     self,
 |     mixture_size: int,
 |     do_layer_norm: bool = False,
 |     initial_scalar_parameters: List[float] = None,
 |     trainable: bool = True
 | ) -> None

Computes a parameterised scalar mixture of N tensors, mixture = gamma * sum(s_k * tensor_k) where s = softmax(w), with w and gamma scalar parameters.

In addition, if do_layer_norm=True then apply layer normalization to each tensor before weighting.

forward

class ScalarMix(torch.nn.Module):
 | ...
 | def forward(
 |     self,
 |     tensors: List[torch.Tensor],
 |     mask: torch.BoolTensor = None
 | ) -> torch.Tensor

Compute a weighted average of the tensors. The input tensors an be any shape with at least two dimensions, but must all be the same shape.

When do_layer_norm=True, the mask is required input. If the tensors are dimensioned (dim_0, ..., dim_{n-1}, dim_n), then the mask is dimensioned (dim_0, ..., dim_{n-1}), as in the typical case with tensors of shape (batch_size, timesteps, dim) and mask of shape (batch_size, timesteps).

When do_layer_norm=False the mask is ignored.
