# This class is for lines like the following:
#

#  conv-batchnorm-layer name=conv2 height-in=40 height-out=40 \
#      num-filters-out=64 height-offsets=-1,0,1 time-offsets=-1,0,1 \
#      required-time-offsets=0
#  or (with NormalizeLayer instead of batch-norm, and with subsampling on the height axis):
#  conv-renorm-layer name=conv3 height-in=40 height-out=20 \
#      height-subsample-out=2 num-filters-out=128 height-offsets=-1,0,1 \
#       time-offsets=-1,0,1 required-time-offsets=0
#
# You don't specify subsampling on the time axis explicitly, it's implicit
# in the 'time-offsets' which are the same as the splicing indexes in a TDNN,
# and which, unlike the height offsets, operate relative to a fixed clock,
# so that after subsampling by a factor of 2, we'd expect all time-offsets
# of subsequent layers to be a factor of 2.  You don't specify the input
# num-filters either; it's worked out from the input height and the input dim.
#
# The layer-name encodes the use (or not) of batch normalization, so that if you
# want to skip batch normalization you could just call it 'conv-layer'.
#
# If batch-normalization is used, it's *spatial* batch-normalization, meaning
# that the offset and scale is specific to the output filter, but shared across
# all time and height offsets.
#
# Most of the configuration values mirror same-named values in class
# TimeHeightConvolutionComponent, and for a deeper understanding of what's going
# on you should look at the comment by its declaration, in
# src/nnet3/nnet-convolutional-component.h.
#
# Parameters of the class, and their defaults if they have defaults:
#
#   input='[-1]'             Descriptor giving the input of the layer.
#   height-in                The height of the input image, e.g. 40 if the input
#                            is MFCCs.  The num-filters-in is worked out as
#                            (dimension of input) / height-in.  If the preceding
#                            layer is a convolutional layer, height-in should be
#                            the same as the height-out of the preceding layer.
#   height-subsample-out=1   The height subsampling factor, will be e.g. 2 if you
#                            want to subsample by a factor of 2 on the height
#                            axis.
#   height-out               The height of the output image.  This will normally
#                            be <= (height-in / height-subsample-out).
#                            Zero-padding on the height axis may be implied by a
#                            combination of this and height-offsets-in, e.g. if
#                            height-out==height-in and height-subsample-out=1
#                            and height-offsets=-2,-1,0,1 then we'd be padding
#                            by 2 pixels on the bottom and 1 on the top; see
#                            comments in nnet-convolutional-layers.h for more
#                            details.
#   height-offsets           The offsets on the height axis that define what
#                            inputs require for each output pixel; will
#                            often be something like -1,0,1 (if zero-padding
#                            on height axis) or 0,1,2 otherwise.  These are
#                            comparable to TDNN splicing offsets; e.g. if
#                            height-offsets=-1,0,1 then height 10 at the output
#                            would take input from heights 9,10,11 at the input.
#   num-filters-out          The number of output filters.  The output dimension
#                            of this layer is num-filters-out * height-out; the
#                            filter dim varies the fastest (filter-stride == 1).
#   time-offsets             The input offsets on the time axis; these are
#                            interpreted just like the splicing indexes in TDNNs.
#                            E.g. if time-offsets=-2,0,2 then time 100 at the
#                            output would require times 98,100,102 at the input.
#   required-time-offsets    The subset of 'time-offsets' that are required in
#                            order to produce an output; if the set has fewer
#                            elements than 'time-offsets' then it implies some
#                            kind of zero-padding on the time axis is allowed.
#                            Defaults to the same as 'time-offsets'.  For speech
#                            tasks we recommend not to set this, as the normal
#                            padding approach is to pad with copies of the
#                            first/last frame, which is handled automatically in
#                            the calling code.
#   target-rms=1.0           Only applicable if the layer type is
#                            conv-batchnorm-layer or
#                            conv-normalize-layer.  This will affect the
#                            scaling of the output features (larger -> larger),
#                            and sometimes we set target-rms=0.5 for the layer
#                            prior to the final layer to make the final layer
#                            train more slowly.
#   self-repair-scale=2.0e-05  This affects the ReLu's.  It is a scale on the
#                            'self-repair' mechanism that nudges the inputs to the
#                            ReLUs into the appropriate range in cases where
#                            the unit is active either too little of the time
#                            (<10%) or too much of the time (>90%).

# This class is for lines like the following:
#
# res-block name=res1 num-filters=64 height=32 time-period=1
#
# It implements a residual block as in ResNets, with pre-activation, and with
# some small differences-- basically, instead of adding the input to the output,
# we put a convolutional layer in there but initialize it to the unit matrix and
# if you want you can give it a relatively small (or even zero) learning rate
# and max-change.  And there is batch-norm in that path also.
#
# The number of filters is the same on the input and output; it is actually
# redundant to write it in the config file, because given that we know the
# height, we can work it out from the dimension of the input (as dimension =
# height * num-filters).  But we allow it to be specified anyway, for clarity.
#
# Note: the res-block does not support subsampling or changing the number of
# filters.  If you want to do that, we recommend that you should do it with a
# single relu-batchnorm-conv-layer.
#
# Here are the most important configuration values, with defaults shown if
# defaults exist:
#
# input='[-1]'    Descriptor giving the input of the layer.
# height          The input and output height of the image, e.g. 40.  Note: the width
#                 is associated with the time dimension and is dealt with
#                 implicitly, so it's not specified here.
# num-filters     The number of filters on the input and output, e.g. 64.
#                 It does not have to be specified; if it is not specified,
#                 we work it out from the input dimension.
# num-bottleneck-filters   If specified then this will be a 'bottleneck'
#                 ResBlock, in which there is a 1x1 convolution from
#                 num-filters->num-bottleneck-filters, a 3x3 convolution
#                 from num-bottleneck-filters->num-bottleneck-filters, and
#                 a 1x1 convolution from num-bottleneck-filters->num-filters.
#
# time-period=1   Think of this as the stride in the time dimension.  At the
#                 input of the network will always have time-period=1; then
#                 after subsampling once in time we'd have time-period=2; then
#                 after subsampling again we'd have time-period=4.  Because of
#                 the way nnet3 works, subsampling on the time axis is an
#                 implicit, not explicit, operation.
# height-period=1  This will almost always be left at the default (1).  It is
#                 analogous to time-period, but because the height, unlike the
#                 time, is explicitly subsampled, in normal topologies this should
#                 be left at 1.
#
# bypass-source=noop
#                       The output of this component is Sum(convolution, x), and
#                       this option controls what 'x' is.  There are 3 options
#                       here: 'noop', 'input', 'relu' or 'batchnorm'.  'noop' is
#                       equivalent to 'input' in what it computes; it just
#                       inserts a 'noop' component in order to make the
#                       computation more efficient.  For both 'noop' and
#                       'input', x is the input to this component.  If
#                       bypass-source=relu then we use the relu of the
#                       input; if 'batchnorm', then we use the relu+batchnorm of
#                       the input.
# allow-zero-padding=true By default this will allow zero-padding in the time
#                       dimension, meaning that you don't need extra frames at
#                       the input to compute the output.  There may be ASR
#                       applications where you want to pad in the time dimension
#                       with repeats of the first or last frame (as we do for
#                       TDNNs), where it would be appropriate to write
#                       allow-zero-padding=false.  Note: the way we have
#                       set it up, it does zero-padding on the height axis
#                       regardless
#
# Less important config variables:
#  self-repair-scale=2.0e-05  This affects the ReLu's.  It is a scale on the
#                            'self-repair' mechanism that nudges the inputs to the
#                            ReLUs into the appropriate range in cases where
#                            the unit is active either too little of the time
#                            (<10%) or too much of the time (>90%).
#  max-change=0.75           Max-parameter-change constant (per minibatch)
#                            used for convolutional components.
#
#
# The following natural-gradient-related configuration variables are passed in
# to the convolution components, if specified:
#  use-natural-gradient (bool)
#  rank-in, rank-out    (int)
#  num-minibatches-history (float)
#  alpha-in, alpha-out (float)
# the following is also passed into the convolution components, if specified:
#  l2-regularize (float)

# This class is for lines like the following:
#
# res2-block name=res1 num-filters=64 height=32 time-period=1
#
# It is a residual block with post-activations, which does not support
# downsampling (strided convolution) or changing the number of filters;
# for that, see res2-downsample-block.
# It's a pretty standard res-block, more standard than "res-block" (XconfigResBlock).
#
# The number of filters is the same on the input and output; it is actually
# redundant to write it in the config file, because given that we know the
# height, we can work it out from the dimension of the input (as dimension =
# height * num-filters).  But we allow it to be specified anyway, for clarity.
#

# Here are the most important configuration values, with defaults shown if
# defaults exist:
#
# input='[-1]'    Descriptor giving the input of the layer.
# height          The input and output height of the image, e.g. 40.  Note: the width
#                 is associated with the time dimension and is dealt with
#                 implicitly, so it's not specified here.
# num-filters     The number of filters on the input and output, e.g. 64.
#                 It does not have to be specified; if it is not specified,
#                 we work it out from the input dimension.
# num-bottleneck-filters   If specified then this will be a 'bottleneck'
#                 ResBlock, in which there is a 1x1 convolution from
#                 num-filters->num-bottleneck-filters, a 3x3 convolution
#                 from num-bottleneck-filters->num-bottleneck-filters, and
#                 a 1x1 convolution from num-bottleneck-filters->num-filters.
# time-period=1   Think of this as the stride in the time dimension.  At the
#                 input of the network will always have time-period=1; then
#                 after subsampling once in time we'd have time-period=2; then
#                 after subsampling again we'd have time-period=4.  Because of
#                 the way nnet3 works, subsampling on the time axis is an
#                 implicit, not explicit, operation.
# allow-zero-padding=true By default this will allow zero-padding in the time
#                       dimension, meaning that you don't need extra frames at
#                       the input to compute the output.  There may be ASR
#                       applications where you want to pad in the time dimension
#                       with repeats of the first or last frame (as we do for
#                       TDNNs), where it would be appropriate to write
#                       allow-zero-padding=false.  Note: the way we have
#                       set it up, it does zero-padding on the height axis
#                       regardless
#
# Less important config variables:
#  self-repair-scale=2.0e-05  This affects the ReLu's.  It is a scale on the
#                            'self-repair' mechanism that nudges the inputs to the
#                            ReLUs into the appropriate range in cases where
#                            the unit is active either too little of the time
#                            (<10%) or too much of the time (>90%).
#  max-change=0.75           Max-parameter-change constant (per minibatch)
#                            used for convolutional components.
#
#
# The following natural-gradient-related configuration variables are passed in
# to the convolution components, if specified:
#  use-natural-gradient (bool)
#  rank-in, rank-out    (int)
#  num-minibatches-history (float)
#  alpha-in, alpha-out (float)
# the following is also passed into the convolution components, if specified:
