Dense implements the operation: output = activation(dot(input, kernel) + bias) where activation is the element-wise activation function passed as the activation argument, kernel is a weights matrix created by the layer, and bias is a bias vector created by the layer (only applicable if use_bias is True).
Note: If the input to the layer has a rank greater than 2, then it is
flattened prior to the initial dot product with kernel.
Example:
# as first layer in a sequential model:
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(32, input_shape=(16,)))
# now the model will take as input arrays of shape (*, 16)
# and output arrays of shape (*, 32)
# after the first layer, you don't need to specify
# the size of the input anymore:
model.add(Dense(32))
Arguments :
> units: Positive integer, dimensionality of the output space.
> activation: Activation function to use. If you don't specify anything,
> no activation is applied (ie. "linear" activation: a(x) = x).
> use_bias: Boolean, whether the layer uses a bias vector.
> kernel_initializer: Initializer for the kernel weights matrix.
> bias_initializer: Initializer for the bias vector.
>kernel_regularizer:Regularizer function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
> bias_regularizer: Regularizer function applied to the bias vector.
> activity_regularizer: Regularizer function applied to the output of the layer (its "activation")..
>kernel_constraint: Constraint function applied to the kernel weights matrix.
>bias_constraint: Constraint function applied to the bias vector.
Input shape:
N-D tensor with shape: (batch_size, ..., input_dim). The most common situation would be a 2D input with shape (batch_size, input_dim).
Output shape:
N-D tensor with shape: (batch_size, ..., units). For instance, for a 2D input with shape (batch_size, input_dim), the output would have shape (batch_size, units).
