Enumeration Type Documentation

ConnectionType

enum class Mila::Dnn::ConnectionType

exportstrong

Connection types supported by residual and skip-connection components.

Defines how the input and transformed output are combined in residual and skip-connection architectures.

Currently only Addition is implemented. Other types (multiplication, concatenation) may be added in the future.

Enumerator
Addition	Element-wise addition (y = x + F(x)).

Function Documentation

connectionTypeToString()

std::string Mila::Dnn::connectionTypeToString ( ConnectionType type )

inlineexport

Converts a ConnectionType enum value to its string representation.

Parameters

type	The ConnectionType to convert

Returns

std::string The string representation of the connection type

Example:

auto name = connectionTypeToString(ConnectionType::Addition);
// name == "Addition"

stringToConnectionType()

ConnectionType Mila::Dnn::stringToConnectionType ( const std::string & name )

inlineexport

Converts a string to its corresponding ConnectionType enum value.

Parameters

name	The string representation of a connection type

Returns

ConnectionType The corresponding enum value

Exceptions

std::invalid_argument

if the string doesn't match any known connection type

Example:

auto type = stringToConnectionType("Addition");
// type == ConnectionType::Addition
