Decoder

class scvi.models.modules.Decoder(n_input, n_output, n_cat_list=None, n_layers=1, n_hidden=128)[source]

Bases: torch.nn.modules.module.Module

Decodes data from latent space to data space

n_input dimensions to n_output dimensions using a fully-connected neural network of n_hidden layers. Output is the mean and variance of a multivariate Gaussian

Parameters

  • n_input (intint) – The dimensionality of the input (latent space)

  • n_output (intint) – The dimensionality of the output (data space)

  • n_cat_list (Iterable[int], NoneOptional[Iterable[int]]) – A list containing the number of categories for each category of interest. Each category will be included using a one-hot encoding

  • n_layers (intint) – The number of fully-connected hidden layers

  • n_hidden (intint) – The number of nodes per hidden layer

  • dropout_rate – Dropout rate to apply to each of the hidden layers

Returns

Methods Summary

forward(x, *cat_list)

The forward computation for a single sample.

Methods Documentation

forward(x, *cat_list)[source]

The forward computation for a single sample.

  1. Decodes the data from the latent space using the decoder network

  2. Returns tensors for the mean and variance of a multivariate distribution

Parameters

  • x (TensorTensor) – tensor with shape (n_input,)

  • cat_list (intint) – list of category membership(s) for this sample

Returns

2-tuple of torch.Tensor Mean and variance tensors of shape (n_output,)
