Initializer that generates a truncated normal distribution.

These values are similar to values from an initializer_random_normal() except that values more than two standard deviations from the mean are discarded and re-drawn. This is the recommended initializer for neural network weights and filters.

initializer_truncated_normal(mean = 0, stddev = 0.05, seed = NULL)

Arguments

mean

Mean of the random values to generate.

stddev

Standard deviation of the random values to generate.

seed

Integer used to seed the random generator.
