Return a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) encoder.

Builds a neural network that can be used to encode motion tracking instances into a vector. Each layer contains a residual block with a convolutional layer and a skip connection. See the following paper for more details: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.01271.pdf

Parameters:
  • input_shape – shape of the input data

  • edge_feature_shape (tuple) – shape of the adjacency matrix to use in the graph attention layers. Should be time x edges x features.

  • adjacency_matrix (np.ndarray) – adjacency matrix for the mice connectivity graph. Shape should be nodes x nodes.

  • use_gnn (bool) – If True, the encoder uses a graph representation of the input, with coordinates and speeds as node attributes, and distances as edge attributes. If False, a regular 3D tensor is used as input.

  • latent_dim – dimensionality of the latent space

  • conv_filters – number of filters in the TCN layers

  • kernel_size – size of the convolutional kernels

  • conv_stacks – number of TCN layers

  • conv_dilations – list of dilation factors for each TCN layer

  • padding – padding mode for the TCN layers

  • use_skip_connections – whether to use skip connections between TCN layers

  • dropout_rate – dropout rate for the TCN layers

  • activation – activation function for the TCN layers

  • interaction_regularization (float) – Regularization parameter for the interaction features

Returns:

a keras model that can be trained to encode a sequence of motion tracking instances into a latent space using temporal convolutional networks.

Return type:

keras.Model
