THCUNN

THCUNN is a library that gathers nn‘s C implementations of neural network modules. It’s entirely free of Lua dependency and therefore can be used in any application that has a C FFI. Please note that it only contains quite low level functions; most users will want to use ATen, which provides a C++ wrapper around these functions.

Looking to add an implementation? Consider writing an ATen native function instead! See ../ATen/native.

API

THCUNN is a purely functional library. It provides 2-3 functions for each module, that perform the most important operations:

• updateOutput - applies the module to an input
• updateGradInput - accepts gradient w.r.t. output and previous module input, and computes a gradient w.r.t. that input
• accGradParameters - (optional, only modules with parameters) accepts gradient w.r.t. output and previous module input, and computes gradient w.r.t. the parameters

For information on argument types please check the API reference.
