Method __call__

tensorflow/python/layers/base.py:500–569

Wraps `call`, applying pre- and post-processing steps. Arguments: inputs: input tensor(s). *args: additional positional arguments to be passed to `self.call`. **kwargs: additional keyword arguments to be passed to `self.call`. **Note**: kwarg `scope` is reserved for us

  def __call__(self, inputs, *args, **kwargs):
    """Wraps `call`, applying pre- and post-processing steps.

    Arguments:
      inputs: input tensor(s).
      *args: additional positional arguments to be passed to `self.call`.
      **kwargs: additional keyword arguments to be passed to `self.call`.
        **Note**: kwarg `scope` is reserved for use by the layer.

    Returns:
      Output tensor(s).

    Note:
      - If the layer's `call` method takes a `scope` keyword argument,
        this argument will be automatically set to the current variable scope.
      - If the layer's `call` method takes a `mask` argument (as some Keras
        layers do), its default value will be set to the mask generated
        for `inputs` by the previous layer (if `input` did come from
        a layer that generated a corresponding mask, i.e. if it came from
        a Keras layer with masking support.

    Raises:
      ValueError: if the layer's `call` method returns None (an invalid value).
