getRandom()

float getRandom

(

)

Generate a random float value.

Currently the method only returns uniformly distributed numbers in the range (-0.2, 0.2).

Returns

A random value.

initializeBiases()

sTensor initializeBiases

(

size_t

outSize

)

Initialize the biases of the layer.

This creates a vector of random numbers using the getRandomValue() method.

Parameters

outSize

The size of the vector to generate. It is also the output size of the layer.

Returns

The random vector of biases.

initializeWeights()

sTensor initializeWeights	(	size_t	inSize,
		size_t	outSize
	)

Initialize the weights of the layer.

This creates a matrix of random numbers using the getRandomValue() method.

Parameters

inSize	The number of rows of the matrix. It is also the input size to the layer.
outSize	The number of columns of the matrix. It is also the output size of the layer.

Returns

The random matrix of weights.
