Linear

class torch.nn.Linear(in_features, out_features, bias=True, device=None, dtype=None) [source]

Applies a linear transformation to the incoming data: $y = xA^T + b$

This module supports TensorFloat32.

On certain ROCm devices, when using float16 inputs this module will use different precision for backward.

Parameters

• in_features (int) – size of each input sample
• out_features (int) – size of each output sample
• bias (bool) – If set to False, the layer will not learn an additive bias. Default: True

Shape:

• Input: $(*, H_{in})$ where $*$ means any number of dimensions including none and $H_{in} = \text{in\_features}$.
• Output: $(*, H_{out})$ where all but the last dimension are the same shape as the input and $H_{out} = \text{out\_features}$.

Variables

• weight (torch.Tensor) – the learnable weights of the module of shape $(\text{out\_features}, \text{in\_features})$. The values are initialized from $\mathcal{U}(-\sqrt{k}, \sqrt{k})$, where $k = \frac{1}{\text{in\_features}}$
• bias – the learnable bias of the module of shape $(\text{out\_features})$. If bias is True, the values are initialized from $\mathcal{U}(-\sqrt{k}, \sqrt{k})$ where $k = \frac{1}{\text{in\_features}}$

Examples:

>>> m = nn.Linear(20, 30)
>>> input = torch.randn(128, 20)
>>> output = m(input)
>>> print(output.size())
torch.Size([128, 30])
