随机初始化Embedding

model.add(Embedding(1000, 64, input_length=10))
# the model will take as input an integer matrix of size (batch, input_length).
# the largest integer (i.e. word index) in the input should be no larger than 999 (vocabulary size).
# now model.output_shape == (None, 10, 64), where None is the batch dimension.
input_array = np.random.randint(1000, size=(32, 10))

使用weights参数指明embedding初始值

m = keras.models.Sequential()
"""
可以通过weights参数指定初始的weights参数
因为Embedding层是不可导的
梯度东流至此回,所以把embedding放在中间层是没有意义的,emebedding只能作为第一层
注意weights到embeddings的绑定过程很复杂，weights是一个列表
"""
embedding = keras.layers.Embedding(input_dim=3, output_dim=2, input_length=1, weights=[np.arange(3 * 2).reshape((3, 2))], mask_zero=True)
m.add(embedding) # 一旦add，就会自动调用embedding的build函数,

给embedding设置初始值的第二种方式：使用initializer

Embedding是一个层，继承自Layer，Layer有weights参数，weights参数是一个list，里面的元素都是numpy数组。在调用Layer的构造函数的时候，weights参数就被存储到了_initial_weights变量
basic_layer.py 之Layer类
if 'weights' in kwargs:
self._initial_weights = kwargs['weights']
else:
self._initial_weights = None当把Embedding层添加到模型中、跟模型的上一层进行拼接的时候，会调用layer(上一层)函数，此处layer是Embedding实例，Embedding是一个继承了Layer的类，Embedding类没有重写__call__()方法，Layer实现了__call__()方法。父类Layer的__call__方法调用子类的call()方法来获取结果。所以最终调用的是Layer.__call__()。在这个方法中，会自动检测该层是否build过（根据self.built布尔变量）。
Layer.__call__函数非常重要。
def __call__(self, inputs, **kwargs):
"""Wrapper around self.call(), for handling internal references.
If a Keras tensor is passed:
- We call self._add_inbound_node().
- If necessary, we `build` the layer to match
the _keras_shape of the input(s).
- We update the _keras_shape of every input tensor with
its new shape (obtained via self.compute_output_shape).
This is done as part of _add_inbound_node().
- We update the _keras_history of the output tensor(s)
with the current layer.
This is done as part of _add_inbound_node().
# Arguments
inputs: Can be a tensor or list/tuple of tensors.
**kwargs: Additional keyword arguments to be passed to `call()`.

如果没有build过，会自动调用Embedding类的build()函数。Embedding.build()这个函数并不会去管weights，如果它使用的initializer没有传入，self.embeddings_initializer会变成随机初始化。如果传入了，那么在这一步就能够把weights初始化好。如果同时传入embeddings_initializer和weights参数，那么weights参数稍后会把Embedding#embeddings覆盖掉。
embedding.py Embedding类的build函数
def build(self, input_shape):
self.embeddings = self.add_weight(
shape=(self.input_dim, self.output_dim),
initializer=self.embeddings_initializer,
name='embeddings',
regularizer=self.embeddings_regularizer,
constraint=self.embeddings_constraint,
dtype=self.dtype)
self.built = True综上，在keras中，使用weights给Layer的变量赋值是一个比较通用的方法，但是不够直观。keras鼓励多多使用明确的initializer，而尽量不要触碰weights。
