PhasedLSTM-Keras

Keras implementation of Phased LSTM [https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.09513], from NIPS 2016.

This is an extension to the fferroni/PhasedLSTM-Keras original contribution, to allow switching off the training of the timegate and enable it to work on fixed weights for the shift, period and ratio parameters.

Usage

• Creating an initializer for the timegate:

  # Opening the gate every 8 timesteps
  def timegate_init(shape, dtype=None):
      return K.constant(np.vstack((
                   np.zeros(shape[1]) + 0.8, # period
                   np.zeros(shape[1]) + 0.01, # shift
                   np.zeros(shape[1]) + 0.05)), dtype=dtype) # ratio

• Setting the timegate_initializer and marking the trainable_timegame as False:

  PhasedLSTM(150, return_sequences=True, timegate_initializer=timegate_init, trainable_timegate=False)
