To implement a custom module in Sonnet, you can follow these steps:
1. Define a Subclass of `snt.Module`: Create a new Python class that inherits from `snt.Module`. This will be your custom module.
python
import sonnet as snt
class MyCustomModule(snt.Module):
def __init__(self, output_size, name=None):
super().__init__(name=name)
self.output_size = output_size
def __call__(self, inputs):
# Implement your custom module logic here
output = # some computation on inputs
return output
2. Initialize the Module: Create an instance of your custom module class, just like any other Sonnet module.
python
my_module = MyCustomModule(output_size=10)
3. Use the Module in Your Model: You can now use your custom module as a building block in your neural network model.
python
class MyModel(snt.Module):
def __init__(self, name=None):
super().__init__(name=name)
self.custom_module = MyCustomModule(output_size=10)
def __call__(self, inputs):
x = self.custom_module(inputs)
# Add more layers or computations here
return x
model = MyModel()
output = model(input_data)
The key points are:
- Define a subclass of `snt.Module` to encapsulate your custom module logic.
- Implement the `__call__` method to define the computation performed by your module.
- Initialize your custom module and use it as a component in your overall model.
This allows you to create reusable, composable modules that can be easily integrated into your Sonnet-based neural network architectures. The flexibility of Sonnet's module system enables you to build complex models by combining custom and pre-defined modules.
Remember to follow the Sonnet conventions, such as managing variables within the module, using the `name` parameter, and adhering to Sonnet's best practices for module design and usage.
