RBF layer for Keras

You need rbflayer.py to use RBF layers in keras. See test.py for very simple example.

Feel free to use or modify the code.

Requirements:

Keras, Tensorflow, Scikit-learn, optionally Matplotlib (only for test.py)

Usage:

  # creating RBF network
  rbflayer = RBFLayer(10,
                      initializer=InitCentersRandom(X),
                      betas=2.0,
                      input_shape=(num_inputs,))

  model = Sequential()
  model.add(rbflayer)
  model.add(Dense(n_outputs))

or using KMeans clustering for RBF centers

  # creating RBFLayer with centers found by KMeans clustering
  rbflayer = RBFLayer(10,
                      initializer=InitCentersKMeans(X),
                      betas=2.0,
                      input_shape=(num_inputs,))

Because you have created Keras model with a custom layer, you need to take it into account if you need to save it to file and load it. Saving is no problem:

model.save("some_fency_file_name.h5")

but while loading you have to specify your custom object RBFLayer:

rbfnet = load_model("some_fency_file_name.h5", custom_objects={'RBFLayer': RBFLayer})
