__init__(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Wrap a callable function as an instantaneous Rockpool module

Parameters

shape (Optional[tuple]) –
function (Callable) – A scalar function of its arguments, with a single output. Default: identity function

_abc_impl = <_abc_data object>

_auto_batch(data: jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.ndarray, states: Tuple = (), target_shapes: Optional[Tuple] = None) → Tuple[jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.ndarray, Tuple[jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.ndarray]]

Automatically replicate states over batches and verify input dimensions

Usage:

>>> data, (state0, state1, state2) = self._auto_batch(data, (self.state0, self.state1, self.state2))

This will verify that data has the correct final dimension (i.e. self.size_in). If data has only two dimensions (T, Nin), then it will be augmented to (1, T, Nin). The individual states will be replicated out from shape (a, b, c, ...) to (n_batches, a, b, c, ...) and returned.

Parameters

data (np.ndarray) – Input data tensor. Either (batches, T, Nin) or (T, Nin)
states (Tuple) – Tuple of state variables. Each will be replicated out over batches by prepending a batch dimension

Returns

(np.ndarray, Tuple[np.ndarray]) data, states

_force_set_attributes: (bool) If True, do not sanity-check attributes when setting.

_get_attribute_family(type_name: str, family: Optional[Union[Tuple, List, str]] = None) → dict

Search for attributes of this module and submodules that match a given family

This method can be used to conveniently get all weights for a network; or all time constants; or any other family of parameters. Parameter families are defined simply by a string: "weights" for weights; "taus" for time constants, etc. These strings are arbitrary, but if you follow the conventions then future developers will thank you (that includes you in six month’s time).

Parameters

type_name (str) – The class of parameters to search for. Must be one of ["Parameter", "SimulationParameter", "State"] or another future subclass of ParameterBase
family (Union[str, Tuple[str]]) – A string or list or tuple of strings, that define one or more attribute families to search for

Returns

A nested dictionary of attributes that match the provided type_name and family

Return type

dict

Convert a recorded dictionary to a TimeSeries representation

This method is optional, and is provided to make the timed() conversion to a TimedModule work better. You should override this method in your custom Module, to wrap each element of your recorded state dictionary as a TimeSeries
