## Optimizer

### Optimizer.__init__

__init__(self, input_tensor, losses, input_range=(0, 255), wrt_tensor=None, norm_grads=True)


Creates an optimizer that minimizes weighted loss function.

Args:

• input_tensor: An input tensor of shape: (samples, channels, image_dims...) if image_data_format= channels_first or (samples, image_dims..., channels) if image_data_format=channels_last.
• losses: List of (Loss, weight) tuples.
• input_range: Specifies the input range as a (min, max) tuple. This is used to rescale the final optimized input to the given range. (Default value=(0, 255))
• wrt_tensor: Short for, with respect to. This instructs the optimizer that the aggregate loss from losses should be minimized with respect to wrt_tensor. wrt_tensor can be any tensor that is part of the model graph. Default value is set to None which means that loss will simply be minimized with respect to input_tensor.
• norm_grads: True to normalize gradients. Normalization avoids very small or large gradients and ensures a smooth gradient gradient descent process. If you want the actual gradient (for example, visualizing attention), set this to false.

### Optimizer.minimize

minimize(self, seed_input=None, max_iter=200, input_modifiers=None, grad_modifier=None, \
callbacks=None, verbose=True)


Performs gradient descent on the input image with respect to defined losses.

Args:

• seed_input: An N-dim numpy array of shape: (samples, channels, image_dims...) if image_data_format= channels_first or (samples, image_dims..., channels) if image_data_format=channels_last. Seeded with random noise if set to None. (Default value = None)
• max_iter: The maximum number of gradient descent iterations. (Default value = 200)
• input_modifiers: A list of InputModifier instances specifying how to make pre and post changes to the optimized input during the optimization process. pre is applied in list order while post is applied in reverse order. For example, input_modifiers = [f, g] means that pre_input = g(f(inp)) and post_input = f(g(inp))
The tuple of (optimized input, grads with respect to wrt, wrt_value) after gradient descent iterations.
