Interface OutputConverter<T extends Output<T>>

Type Parameters:
T - The output type.
All Superinterfaces:
com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.config.Configurable, com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.provenance.Provenancable<com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.provenance.ConfiguredObjectProvenance>, Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
LabelConverter, MultiLabelConverter, RegressorConverter
public interface OutputConverter<T extends Output<T>> extends com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.config.Configurable, com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.provenance.Provenancable<com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.provenance.ConfiguredObjectProvenance>, Serializable
Converts the Output into a Tensor and vice versa.

Also provides the loss function for this output type, along with the function which converts the TF graph output into a well formed output float (e.g., a softmax for classification, a sigmoid for multi-label, or the identity function for regression).

N.B. TensorFlow support is experimental and may change without a major version bump.
