Syntax

layer = setL2Factor(layer,parameterName,factor)
layerUpdated = setL2Factor(layer,parameterPath,factor)
dlnetUpdated = setL2Factor(dlnet,layerName,parameterName,factor)
dlnetUpdated = setL2Factor(dlnet,parameterPath,factor)

Description

example

layer = setL2Factor(layer,parameterName,factor) sets the L2 regularization factor of the parameter with the name parameterName in layer to factor.

For built-in layers, you can set the L2 regularization factor directly by using the corresponding property. For example, for a convolution2dLayer layer, the syntax layer = setL2Factor(layer,'Weights',factor) is equivalent to layer.WeightL2Factor = factor.

layerUpdated = setL2Factor(layer,parameterPath,factor) sets the L2 regularization factor of the parameter specified by the path parameterPath. Use this syntax when the parameter is in a dlnetwork object in a custom layer.

dlnetUpdated = setL2Factor(dlnet,layerName,parameterName,factor) sets the L2 regularization factor of the parameter with the name parameterName in the layer with name layerName for the specified dlnetwork object.

dlnetUpdated = setL2Factor(dlnet,parameterPath,factor) sets the L2 regularization factor of the parameter specified by the path parameterPath. Use this syntax when the parameter is in a nested layer.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input layer, specified as a scalar Layer object.

Parameter name, specified as a character vector or a string scalar.

L2 regularization factor for the parameter, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

The software multiplies this factor with the global L2 regularization factor to determine the L2 regularization factor for the specified parameter. For example, if factor is 2, then the L2 regularization for the specified parameter is twice the global L2 regularization factor. You can specify the global L2 regularization factor using the trainingOptions function.

Example: 2

Path to parameter in nested layer, specified as a string scalar or a character vector. A nested layer is a custom layer that itself defines a layer graph as a learnable parameter.

If the input to setL2Factor is a nested layer, then the parameter path has the form "propertyName/layerName/parameterName", where:

  • propertyName is the name of the property containing a dlnetwork object

  • layerName is the name of the layer in the dlnetwork object

  • parameterName is the name of the parameter

If there are multiple levels of nested layers, then specify each level using the form "propertyName1/layerName1/.../propertyNameN/layerNameN/parameterName", where propertyName1 and layerName1 correspond to the layer in the input to the setL2Factor function, and the subsequent parts correspond to the deeper levels.

Example: For layer input to setL2Factor, the path "Network/conv1/Weights" specifies the "Weights" parameter of the layer with name "conv1" in the dlnetwork object given by layer.Network.

If the input to setL2Factor is a dlnetwork object and the desired parameter is in a nested layer, then the parameter path has the form "layerName1/propertyName/layerName/parameterName", where:

  • layerName1 is the name of the layer in the input dlnetwork object

  • propertyName is the property of the layer containing a dlnetwork object

  • layerName is the name of the layer in the dlnetwork object

  • parameterName is the name of the parameter

If there are multiple levels of nested layers, then specify each level using the form "layerName1/propertyName1/.../layerNameN/propertyNameN/layerName/parameterName", where layerName1 and propertyName1 correspond to the layer in the input to the setL2Factor function, and the subsequent parts correspond to the deeper levels.

Example: For dlnetwork input to setL2Factor, the path "res1/Network/conv1/Weights" specifies the "Weights" parameter of the layer with name "conv1" in the dlnetwork object given by layer.Network, where layer is the layer with name "res1" in the input network dlnet.
