Detailed Description

Configuration class for the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) block.

MLPConfig specifies the architectural parameters for an MLP block:

• Input and hidden feature dimensions
• Activation function type
• Optional bias and layer normalization

The MLP block structure is: Input -> Linear(in_features, hidden_size) -> [LayerNorm] -> Activation -> Linear(hidden_size, in_features) -> Output

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MLPConfig()

Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::MLPConfig ( dim_t input_features, dim_t hidden_size )

inline

Construct MLP configuration.

Parameters

input_features	Number of input (and output) features (must be > 0).
hidden_size	Size of the intermediate hidden layer (must be > 0).

Member Function Documentation

fromMetadata()

void Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::fromMetadata ( const SerializationMetadata & meta )

inlineoverridevirtual

Populate configuration from provided metadata.

Missing keys are ignored. Type-safe try-get helpers are used to avoid throwing on absent fields and to preserve forward/backward compatibility.

Parameters

meta	Metadata to read configuration values from.

Implements Mila::Dnn::ComponentConfig.

getActivationType()

ActivationType Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::getActivationType ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the configured activation function type.

Returns

ActivationType selected for the MLP.

getHiddenSize()

dim_t Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::getHiddenSize ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the hidden layer size.

Returns

Hidden layer dimension.

getInputFeatures()

dim_t Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::getInputFeatures ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the configured number of input (and output) features.

Returns

Number of input features.

hasBias()

bool Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::hasBias ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Query whether linear layers include bias terms.

Returns

True if bias is enabled.

toMetadata()

SerializationMetadata Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::toMetadata ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Convert configuration into SerializationMetadata.

Produces keys:

• "input_features" : integer
• "hidden_size" : integer
• "has_bias" : boolean
• "activation" : integer (ActivationType)

Returns

SerializationMetadata Metadata representing this configuration.

Implements Mila::Dnn::ComponentConfig.

toString()

std::string Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::toString ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Produce a short, human-readable summary of the configuration.

Implementations should return a compact, single-line description suitable for logging and debugging.

Returns

std::string Human-readable summary of the configuration.

Implements Mila::Dnn::ComponentConfig.

validate()

void Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::validate ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Validate configuration parameters.

Exceptions

std::invalid_argument

If validation fails (e.g. zero-sized dimensions).

Implements Mila::Dnn::ComponentConfig.

withBias()

template<typename Self>

Self && Mila::Dnn::MLPConfig::withBias ( this Self && self, bool has_bias )

inline

Configure whether the linear layers use bias.

Parameters

has_bias

True to include bias terms in linear layers, false to omit.

Returns

Self forwarding reference for method chaining.
