- Gradient
- the
Gradienttrait defines the gradient of a function, which is a function that takes an input and returns a delta, which is the change in the output with respect to the input. - Heavyside
- Increment
Axis - The
IncrementAxistrait defines a method enabling an axis to increment itself, effectively adding a new axis to the array. - Init
- A trait for creating custom initialization routines for models or other entities.
- Init
Inplace - This trait enables models to implement custom, in-place initialization methods.

Activation - Loss
- The
Losstrait defines a common interface for any custom loss function implementations. This trait requires the implementor to define their algorithm for calculating the loss between two values,lhsandrhs, which can be of different types,XandYrespectively. These terms are used generically to allow for flexibility in the allowed types, such as tensors, scalars, or other data structures while clearly defining the “order” in which the operations are performed. It is most common to expect thelhsto be the predicted output and therhsto be the actual output, but this is not a strict requirement. The trait also defines an associated typeOutput, which represents the type of the loss value returned by thelossmethod. This allows for different loss functions to return different types of loss values, such as scalars or tensors, depending on the specific implementation of the loss function. - Mask
