Sequential¶
- class continual.Sequential(*args: Module)[source]¶
- class continual.Sequential(arg: OrderedDict[str, Module])
A sequential container. This module is an augmentation of torch.nn.Sequential which adds continual inference methods
Modules will be added to it in the order they are passed in the constructor. Alternatively, an
OrderedDict
of modules can be passed in. Theforward()
,forward_step()
andforward_steps()
methods ofSequential
accept any input and forwards it to the first module it contains. It then “chains” outputs to inputs sequentially for each subsequent module, finally returning the output of the last module.The value a
Sequential
provides over manually calling a sequence of modules is that it allows treating the whole container as a single module, such that performing a transformation on theSequential
applies to each of the modules it stores (which are each a registered submodule of theSequential
).Example:
# Using Sequential to create a small model. When `model` is run, # input will first be passed to `Conv2d(1,20,5)`. The output of # `Conv2d(1,20,5)` will be used as the input to the first # `ReLU`; the output of the first `ReLU` will become the input # for `Conv2d(20,64,5)`. Finally, the output of # `Conv2d(20,64,5)` will be used as input to the second `ReLU` model = co.Sequential( co.Conv2d(1,20,5), nn.ReLU(), co.Conv2d(20,64,5), nn.ReLU() ) # Using Sequential with OrderedDict. This is functionally the # same as the above code model = co.Sequential(OrderedDict([ ('conv1', co.Conv2d(1,20,5)), ('relu1', nn.ReLU()), ('conv2', co.Conv2d(20,64,5)), ('relu2', nn.ReLU()) ]))
