tfp.experimental.nn.initializers.glorot_uniform

The Glorot uniform initializer, aka Xavier uniform initializer.

tfp.experimental.nn.initializers.glorot_uniform(
    seed=None
)

It draws samples from a uniform distribution within [-limit, limit] where limit is sqrt(6 / (fan_in + fan_out)) where fan_in is the number of input units in the weight tensor and fan_out is the number of output units in the weight tensor.

seed PRNG seed; see tfp.random.sanitize_seed for details. Default value: None.

init_fn A python callable which takes a shape Tensor, dtype and an optional scalar int number of batch dims and returns a randomly initialized Tensor with the specified shape and dtype.
