Predict()

void Predict	(	arma::cube	predictors,
		arma::cube &	results,
		const size_t	batchSize = 256
	)

Predict the responses to a given set of predictors.

The responses will reflect the output of the given output layer as returned by the output layer function.

If you want to pass in a parameter and discard the original parameter object, be sure to use std::move to avoid unnecessary copy.

The format of the data should be as follows:

• each slice should correspond to a time step
• each column should correspond to a data point
• each row should correspond to a dimension So, e.g., predictors(i, j, k) is the i'th dimension of the j'th data point at time slice k. The responses will be in the same format.

Parameters

predictors	Input predictors.
results	Matrix to put output predictions of responses into.
batchSize	Number of points to predict at once.

		OptimizerType &	optimizer,
		CallbackTypes &&...	callbacks
	)

Train the recurrent neural network on the given input data using the given optimizer.

This will use the existing model parameters as a starting point for the optimization. If this is not what you want, then you should access the parameters vector directly with Parameters() and modify it as desired.

If you want to pass in a parameter and discard the original parameter object, be sure to use std::move to avoid unnecessary copy.

The format of the data should be as follows:

• each slice should correspond to a time step
• each column should correspond to a data point
• each row should correspond to a dimension So, e.g., predictors(i, j, k) is the i'th dimension of the j'th data point at time slice k.

Train() [2/2]

double Train	(	arma::cube	predictors,
		arma::cube	responses,
		CallbackTypes &&...	callbacks
	)

Train the recurrent neural network on the given input data.

By default, the SGD optimization algorithm is used, but others can be specified (such as ens::RMSprop).

This will use the existing model parameters as a starting point for the optimization. If this is not what you want, then you should access the parameters vector directly with Parameters() and modify it as desired.

If you want to pass in a parameter and discard the original parameter object, be sure to use std::move to avoid unnecessary copy.

The format of the data should be as follows:

• each slice should correspond to a time step
• each column should correspond to a data point
• each row should correspond to a dimension So, e.g., predictors(i, j, k) is the i'th dimension of the j'th data point at time slice k.
