| - [Creating Keras Models with TFL Layers](https://www.tensorflow.org/lattice/tutorials/keras_layers) |

Layer takes input of shape `(batch_size, units)` or `(batch_size, 1)` and
transforms it using `units` number of piecewise linear functions following
monotonicity, convexity and bounds constraints if specified. If multi
dimensional input is provides, each output will be for the corresponding
input, otherwise all PWL functions will act on the same input. All units share
the same layer configuration, but each has their separate set of trained
parameters.

See [`tfl.layers.ParallelCombination`](https://www.tensorflow.org/lattice/api_docs/python/tfl/layers/ParallelCombination) layer for using PWLCalibration layer
within Sequential Keras models.

#### Input shape:

Single input should be a rank-2 tensor with shape: `(batch_size, units)` or
`(batch_size, 1)`. The input can also be a list of two tensors of the same
shape where the first tensor is the regular input tensor and the second is the
`is_missing` tensor. In the `is_missing` tensor, 1.0 represents missing input
and 0.0 represents available input.

#### Output shape:

If units \> 1 and split_outputs is True, a length `units` list of Rank-2
tensors with shape `(batch_size, 1)`. Otherwise, a Rank-2 tensor with shape:
`(batch_size, units)`

#### Example:

    calibrator = tfl.layers.PWLCalibration(
        # Key-points of piecewise-linear function.
        input_keypoints=np.linspace(1., 4., num=4),
        # Output can be bounded, e.g. when this layer feeds into a lattice.
        output_min=0.0,
        output_max=2.0,
        # You can specify monotonicity and other shape constraints for the layer.
        monotonicity='increasing',
        # You can specify TFL regularizers as tuple ('regularizer name', l1, l2).
        # You can also pass any keras Regularizer object.
        kernel_regularizer=('hessian', 0.0, 1e-4),
    )

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `input_keypoints` | Ordered list of keypoints of piecewise linear function. Can be anything accepted by tf.convert_to_tensor(). |
| `units` | Output dimension of the layer. See class comments for details. |
| `output_min` | Minimum output of calibrator. |
| `output_max` | Maximum output of calibrator. |
| `clamp_min` | For monotonic calibrators ensures that output_min is reached. |
| `clamp_max` | For monotonic calibrators ensures that output_max is reached. |
| `monotonicity` | Constraints piecewise linear function to be monotonic using 'increasing' or 1 to indicate increasing monotonicity, 'decreasing' or -1 to indicate decreasing monotonicity and 'none' or 0 to indicate no monotonicity constraints. |
| `convexity` | Constraints piecewise linear function to be convex or concave. Convexity is indicated by 'convex' or 1, concavity is indicated by 'concave' or -1, 'none' or 0 indicates no convexity/concavity constraints. Concavity together with increasing monotonicity as well as convexity together with decreasing monotonicity results in diminishing return constraints. Consider increasing the value of `num_projection_iterations` if convexity is specified, especially with larger number of keypoints. |
| `is_cyclic` | Whether the output for last keypoint should be identical to output for first keypoint. This is useful for features such as "time of day" or "degree of turn". If inputs are discrete and exactly match keypoints then is_cyclic will have an effect only if TFL regularizers are being used. |
| `kernel_initializer` | None or one of: <br /> - String `"equal_heights"`: For pieces of pwl function to have equal heights. - String `"equal_slopes"`: For pieces of pwl function to have equal slopes. - Any Keras initializer object. If you are passing such object make sure that you know how layer stores its data. |
| `kernel_regularizer` | None or single element or list of following: - Tuple `("laplacian", l1, l2)` where `l1` and `l2` are floats which represent corresponding regularization amount for Laplacian regularizer. It penalizes the first derivative to make the function more constant. See `tfl.pwl_calibration.LaplacianRegularizer` for more details. - Tuple `("hessian", l1, l2)` where `l1` and `l2` are floats which represent corresponding regularization amount for Hessian regularizer. It penalizes the second derivative to make the function more linear. See `tfl.pwl_calibration.HessianRegularizer` for more details. - Tuple `("wrinkle", l1, l2)` where `l1` and `l2` are floats which represent corresponding regularization amount for wrinkle regularizer. It penalizes the third derivative to make the function more smooth. See 'tfl.pwl_calibration.WrinkleRegularizer\` for more details. - Any Keras regularizer object. |
| `impute_missing` | Whether to learn an output for cases where input data is missing. If set to True, either `missing_input_value` should be initialized, or the `call()` method should get pair of tensors. See class input shape description for more details. |
| `missing_input_value` | If set, all inputs which are equal to this value will be considered as missing. Can not be set if `impute_missing` is False. |
| `missing_output_value` | If set, instead of learning output for missing inputs, simply maps them into this value. Can not be set if `impute_missing` is False. |
| `num_projection_iterations` | Number of iterations of the Dykstra's projection algorithm. Constraints are strictly satisfied at the end of each update, but the update will be closer to a true L2 projection with higher number of iterations. See [`tfl.pwl_calibration_lib.project_all_constraints`](https://www.tensorflow.org/lattice/api_docs/python/tfl/pwl_calibration_lib/project_all_constraints) for more details. |
| `split_outputs` | Whether to split the output tensor into a list of outputs for each unit. Ignored if units \< 2. |
| `input_keypoints_type` | One of "fixed" or "learned_interior". If "learned_interior", keypoints are initialized to the values in `input_keypoints` but then allowed to vary during training, with the exception of the first and last keypoint location which are fixed. Convexity can only be imposed with "fixed". |
| `**kwargs` | Other args passed to [`keras.layers.Layer`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Layer) initializer. |

| ## Raises ||
|---|---|
| `ValueError` | If layer hyperparameters are invalid. |

<br />

<br />

| ## Attributes ||
|---|---|
| <br /> - All `__init__` arguments. ||
| `kernel` | TF variable which stores weights of piecewise linear function. |
| `missing_output` | TF variable which stores output learned for missing input. Or TF Constant which stores `missing_output_value` if one is provided. Available only if `impute_missing` is True. |
| `activity_regularizer` | Optional regularizer function for the output of this layer. |
| `compute_dtype` | The dtype of the layer's computations. This is equivalent to `Layer.dtype_policy.compute_dtype`. Unless mixed precision is used, this is the same as [`Layer.dtype`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Layer#dtype), the dtype of the weights. Layers automatically cast their inputs to the compute dtype, which causes computations and the output to be in the compute dtype as well. This is done by the base Layer class in [`Layer.call`](https://www.tensorflow.org/probability/oryx/api_docs/python/oryx/core/state/Module#__call__), so you do not have to insert these casts if implementing your own layer. Layers often perform certain internal computations in higher precision when `compute_dtype` is float16 or bfloat16 for numeric stability. The output will still typically be float16 or bfloat16 in such cases. |
| `dtype` | The dtype of the layer weights. <br /> This is equivalent to `Layer.dtype_policy.variable_dtype`. Unless mixed precision is used, this is the same as [`Layer.compute_dtype`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Layer#compute_dtype), the dtype of the layer's computations. |
| `dtype_policy` | The dtype policy associated with this layer. <br /> This is an instance of a [`tf.keras.mixed_precision.Policy`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/DTypePolicy). |
| `dynamic` | Whether the layer is dynamic (eager-only); set in the constructor. |
| `input` | Retrieves the input tensor(s) of a layer. <br /> Only applicable if the layer has exactly one input, i.e. if it is connected to one incoming layer. |
| `input_spec` | `InputSpec` instance(s) describing the input format for this layer. <br /> When you create a layer subclass, you can set `self.input_spec` to enable the layer to run input compatibility checks when it is called. Consider a `Conv2D` layer: it can only be called on a single input tensor of rank 4. As such, you can set, in `__init__()`: self.input_spec = tf.keras.layers.InputSpec(ndim=4) Now, if you try to call the layer on an input that isn't rank 4 (for instance, an input of shape `(2,)`, it will raise a nicely-formatted error: ValueError: Input 0 of layer conv2d is incompatible with the layer: expected ndim=4, found ndim=1. Full shape received: [2] Input checks that can be specified via `input_spec` include: - Structure (e.g. a single input, a list of 2 inputs, etc) - Shape - Rank (ndim) - Dtype For more information, see [`tf.keras.layers.InputSpec`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/InputSpec). |
| `losses` | List of losses added using the `add_loss()` API. <br /> Variable regularization tensors are created when this property is accessed, so it is eager safe: accessing `losses` under a [`tf.GradientTape`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/GradientTape) will propagate gradients back to the corresponding variables. class MyLayer(tf.keras.layers.Layer): def call(self, inputs): self.add_loss(tf.abs(tf.reduce_mean(inputs))) return inputs l = MyLayer() l(np.ones((10, 1))) l.losses [1.0] inputs = tf.keras.Input(shape=(10,)) x = tf.keras.layers.Dense(10)(inputs) outputs = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1)(x) model = tf.keras.Model(inputs, outputs) # Activity regularization. len(model.losses) 0 model.add_loss(tf.abs(tf.reduce_mean(x))) len(model.losses) 1 inputs = tf.keras.Input(shape=(10,)) d = tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, kernel_initializer='ones') x = d(inputs) outputs = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1)(x) model = tf.keras.Model(inputs, outputs) # Weight regularization. model.add_loss(lambda: tf.reduce_mean(d.kernel)) model.losses [<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=float32, numpy=1.0>] <br /> |
| `metrics` | List of metrics attached to the layer. |
| `name` | Name of the layer (string), set in the constructor. |
| `name_scope` | Returns a [`tf.name_scope`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/name_scope) instance for this class. |
| `non_trainable_weights` | List of all non-trainable weights tracked by this layer. <br /> Non-trainable weights are *not* updated during training. They are expected to be updated manually in `call()`. |
| `output` | Retrieves the output tensor(s) of a layer. <br /> Only applicable if the layer has exactly one output, i.e. if it is connected to one incoming layer. |
| `submodules` | Sequence of all sub-modules. <br /> Submodules are modules which are properties of this module, or found as properties of modules which are properties of this module (and so on). a = tf.Module() b = tf.Module() c = tf.Module() a.b = b b.c = c list(a.submodules) == [b, c] True list(b.submodules) == [c] True list(c.submodules) == [] True <br /> |
| `supports_masking` | Whether this layer supports computing a mask using `compute_mask`. |

| `variable_dtype` | Alias of [`Layer.dtype`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Layer#dtype), the dtype of the weights. |
| `weights` | Returns the list of all layer variables/weights. |

## Methods

### `add_loss`

    add_loss(
        losses, **kwargs
    )

Add loss tensor(s), potentially dependent on layer inputs.

Some losses (for instance, activity regularization losses) may be
dependent on the inputs passed when calling a layer. Hence, when reusing
the same layer on different inputs `a` and `b`, some entries in
`layer.losses` may be dependent on `a` and some on `b`. This method
automatically keeps track of dependencies.

This method can be used inside a subclassed layer or model's `call`
function, in which case `losses` should be a Tensor or list of Tensors.

#### Example:

    class MyLayer(tf.keras.layers.Layer):
      def call(self, inputs):
        self.add_loss(tf.abs(tf.reduce_mean(inputs)))
        return inputs

The same code works in distributed training: the input to `add_loss()`
is treated like a regularization loss and averaged across replicas
by the training loop (both built-in [`Model.fit()`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/Model#fit) and compliant custom
training loops).

The `add_loss` method can also be called directly on a Functional Model
during construction. In this case, any loss Tensors passed to this Model
must be symbolic and be able to be traced back to the model's `Input`s.
These losses become part of the model's topology and are tracked in
`get_config`.

#### Example:

    inputs = tf.keras.Input(shape=(10,))
    x = tf.keras.layers.Dense(10)(inputs)
    outputs = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1)(x)
    model = tf.keras.Model(inputs, outputs)
    # Activity regularization.
    model.add_loss(tf.abs(tf.reduce_mean(x)))

If this is not the case for your loss (if, for example, your loss
references a `Variable` of one of the model's layers), you can wrap your
loss in a zero-argument lambda. These losses are not tracked as part of
the model's topology since they can't be serialized.

#### Example:

    inputs = tf.keras.Input(shape=(10,))
    d = tf.keras.layers.Dense(10)
    x = d(inputs)
    outputs = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1)(x)
    model = tf.keras.Model(inputs, outputs)
    # Weight regularization.
    model.add_loss(lambda: tf.reduce_mean(d.kernel))

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `losses` | Loss tensor, or list/tuple of tensors. Rather than tensors, losses may also be zero-argument callables which create a loss tensor. |
| `**kwargs` | Used for backwards compatibility only. |

<br />

### `assert_constraints`

[View source](https://github.com/tensorflow/lattice/blob/v2.1.1/tensorflow_lattice/python/pwl_calibration_layer.py#L538-L580)

    assert_constraints(
        eps=1e-06
    )

Asserts that layer weights satisfy all constraints.

In graph mode builds and returns list of assertion ops. Note that ops will
be created at the moment when this function is being called.
In eager mode directly executes assertions.

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `eps` | Allowed constraints violation. |

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| List of assertion ops in graph mode or immediately asserts in eager mode. ||

<br />

### `build`

[View source](https://github.com/tensorflow/lattice/blob/v2.1.1/tensorflow_lattice/python/pwl_calibration_layer.py#L300-L394)

    build(
        input_shape
    )

Standard Keras build() method.

### `build_from_config`

    build_from_config(
        config
    )

Builds the layer's states with the supplied config dict.

By default, this method calls the `build(config["input_shape"])` method,
which creates weights based on the layer's input shape in the supplied
config. If your config contains other information needed to load the
layer's state, you should override this method.

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `config` | Dict containing the input shape associated with this layer. |

<br />

### `compute_mask`

    compute_mask(
        inputs, mask=None
    )

Computes an output mask tensor.

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `inputs` | Tensor or list of tensors. |
| `mask` | Tensor or list of tensors. |

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| None or a tensor (or list of tensors, one per output tensor of the layer). ||

<br />

### `compute_output_shape`

[View source](https://github.com/tensorflow/lattice/blob/v2.1.1/tensorflow_lattice/python/pwl_calibration_layer.py#L503-L509)

    compute_output_shape(
        input_shape
    )

Standard Keras compute_output_shape() method.

### `count_params`

    count_params()

Count the total number of scalars composing the weights.

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| An integer count. ||

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Raises ||
|---|---|
| `ValueError` | if the layer isn't yet built (in which case its weights aren't yet defined). |

<br />

### `from_config`

    @classmethod
    from_config(
        config
    )

Creates a layer from its config.

This method is the reverse of `get_config`,
capable of instantiating the same layer from the config
dictionary. It does not handle layer connectivity
(handled by Network), nor weights (handled by `set_weights`).

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `config` | A Python dictionary, typically the output of get_config. |

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| A layer instance. ||

<br />

### `get_build_config`

    get_build_config()

Returns a dictionary with the layer's input shape.

This method returns a config dict that can be used by
`build_from_config(config)` to create all states (e.g. Variables and
Lookup tables) needed by the layer.

By default, the config only contains the input shape that the layer
was built with. If you're writing a custom layer that creates state in
an unusual way, you should override this method to make sure this state
is already created when TF-Keras attempts to load its value upon model
loading.

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| A dict containing the input shape associated with the layer. ||

<br />

### `get_config`

[View source](https://github.com/tensorflow/lattice/blob/v2.1.1/tensorflow_lattice/python/pwl_calibration_layer.py#L511-L536)

    get_config()

Standard Keras config for serialization.

### `get_weights`

    get_weights()

Returns the current weights of the layer, as NumPy arrays.

The weights of a layer represent the state of the layer. This function
returns both trainable and non-trainable weight values associated with
this layer as a list of NumPy arrays, which can in turn be used to load
state into similarly parameterized layers.

For example, a `Dense` layer returns a list of two values: the kernel
matrix and the bias vector. These can be used to set the weights of
another `Dense` layer:

    layer_a = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1,
      kernel_initializer=tf.constant_initializer(1.))
    a_out = layer_a(tf.convert_to_tensor([[1., 2., 3.]]))
    layer_a.get_weights()
    [array([[1.],
           [1.],
           [1.]], dtype=float32), array([0.], dtype=float32)]
    layer_b = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1,
      kernel_initializer=tf.constant_initializer(2.))
    b_out = layer_b(tf.convert_to_tensor([[10., 20., 30.]]))
    layer_b.get_weights()
    [array([[2.],
           [2.],
           [2.]], dtype=float32), array([0.], dtype=float32)]
    layer_b.set_weights(layer_a.get_weights())
    layer_b.get_weights()
    [array([[1.],
           [1.],
           [1.]], dtype=float32), array([0.], dtype=float32)]

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| Weights values as a list of NumPy arrays. ||

<br />

### `keypoints_inputs`

[View source](https://github.com/tensorflow/lattice/blob/v2.1.1/tensorflow_lattice/python/pwl_calibration_layer.py#L589-L611)

    keypoints_inputs()

Returns tensor of keypoint inputs of shape \[num_weights, num_units\].

### `keypoints_outputs`

[View source](https://github.com/tensorflow/lattice/blob/v2.1.1/tensorflow_lattice/python/pwl_calibration_layer.py#L582-L587)

    keypoints_outputs()

Returns tensor of keypoint outputs of shape \[num_weights, num_units\].

### `load_own_variables`

    load_own_variables(
        store
    )

Loads the state of the layer.

You can override this method to take full control of how the state of
the layer is loaded upon calling [`keras.models.load_model()`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/models/load_model).

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `store` | Dict from which the state of the model will be loaded. |

<br />

### `save_own_variables`

    save_own_variables(
        store
    )

Saves the state of the layer.

You can override this method to take full control of how the state of
the layer is saved upon calling `model.save()`.

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `store` | Dict where the state of the model will be saved. |

<br />

### `set_weights`

    set_weights(
        weights
    )

Sets the weights of the layer, from NumPy arrays.

The weights of a layer represent the state of the layer. This function
sets the weight values from numpy arrays. The weight values should be
passed in the order they are created by the layer. Note that the layer's
weights must be instantiated before calling this function, by calling
the layer.

For example, a `Dense` layer returns a list of two values: the kernel
matrix and the bias vector. These can be used to set the weights of
another `Dense` layer:

    layer_a = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1,
      kernel_initializer=tf.constant_initializer(1.))
    a_out = layer_a(tf.convert_to_tensor([[1., 2., 3.]]))
    layer_a.get_weights()
    [array([[1.],
           [1.],
           [1.]], dtype=float32), array([0.], dtype=float32)]
    layer_b = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1,
      kernel_initializer=tf.constant_initializer(2.))
    b_out = layer_b(tf.convert_to_tensor([[10., 20., 30.]]))
    layer_b.get_weights()
    [array([[2.],
           [2.],
           [2.]], dtype=float32), array([0.], dtype=float32)]
    layer_b.set_weights(layer_a.get_weights())
    layer_b.get_weights()
    [array([[1.],
           [1.],
           [1.]], dtype=float32), array([0.], dtype=float32)]

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `weights` | a list of NumPy arrays. The number of arrays and their shape must match number of the dimensions of the weights of the layer (i.e. it should match the output of `get_weights`). |

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Raises ||
|---|---|
| `ValueError` | If the provided weights list does not match the layer's specifications. |

<br />

### `with_name_scope`

    @classmethod
    with_name_scope(
        method
    )

Decorator to automatically enter the module name scope.

    class MyModule(tf.Module):
      @tf.Module.with_name_scope
      def __call__(self, x):
        if not hasattr(self, 'w'):
          self.w = tf.Variable(tf.random.normal([x.shape[1], 3]))
        return tf.matmul(x, self.w)

Using the above module would produce [`tf.Variable`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/Variable)s and [`tf.Tensor`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/Tensor)s whose
names included the module name:

    mod = MyModule()
    mod(tf.ones([1, 2]))
    <tf.Tensor: shape=(1, 3), dtype=float32, numpy=..., dtype=float32)>
    mod.w
    <tf.Variable 'my_module/Variable:0' shape=(2, 3) dtype=float32,
    numpy=..., dtype=float32)>

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Args ||
|---|---|
| `method` | The method to wrap. |

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| The original method wrapped such that it enters the module's name scope. ||

<br />

### `__call__`

    __call__(
        *args, **kwargs
    )

| Note ||
|---|---|
| <br /> - The following optional keyword arguments are reserved for specific uses: - `training`: Boolean scalar tensor of Python boolean indicating whether the `call` is meant for training or inference. - `mask`: Boolean input mask. - If the layer's `call` method takes a `mask` argument (as some Keras layers do), its default value will be set to the mask generated for `inputs` by the previous layer (if `input` did come from a layer that generated a corresponding mask, i.e. if it came from a TF-Keras layer with masking support. - If the layer is not built, the method will call `build`. ||

<br />

| Raises ||
|---|---|
| `ValueError` | if the layer's `call` method returns None (an invalid value). |
| `RuntimeError` | if `super().__init__()` was not called in the constructor. |
