tf.contrib.kfac.fisher_blocks.FullyConnectedDiagonalFB

Class FullyConnectedDiagonalFB

Defined in tensorflow/contrib/kfac/python/ops/fisher_blocks.py.

FisherBlock for fully-connected (dense) layers using a diagonal approx.

Estimates the Fisher Information matrix's diagonal entries for a fully connected layer. Unlike NaiveDiagonalFB this uses the low-variance "sum of squares" estimator.

Let 'params' be a vector parameterizing a model and 'i' an arbitrary index into it. We are interested in Fisher(params)[i, i]. This is,

$$Fisher(params)[i, i] = E[ v(x, y, params) v(x, y, params)^T ][i, i] = E[ v(x, y, params)[i] ^ 2 ]$$

Consider fully connected layer in this model with (unshared) weight matrix 'w'. For an example 'x' that produces layer inputs 'a' and output preactivations 's',

$$v(x, y, w) = vec( a (d loss / d s)^T )$$

This FisherBlock tracks Fisher(params)[i, i] for all indices 'i' corresponding to the layer's parameters 'w'.

Methods

__init__

__init__(
    layer_collection,
    has_bias=False
)

Creates a FullyConnectedDiagonalFB block.

Args:

  • layer_collection: The collection of all layers in the K-FAC approximate Fisher information matrix to which this FisherBlock belongs.
  • has_bias: Whether the component Kronecker factors have an additive bias. (Default: False)
