tf.compat.v1.keras.Variable

tf.keras.Variable(     initializer,     shape=None,     dtype=None,     trainable=True,     autocast=True,     aggregation='mean',     name=None )

A Variable acts as a container for state. It holds a tensor value and can be updated. With the JAX backend, variables are used to implement "functionalization", the pattern of lifting stateful operations out of a piece of computation to turn it into a stateless function.

Args
`initializer`	Initial value or callable for initialization. If a callable is used, it should take the arguments `shape` and `dtype`.
`shape`	Optional. Tuple for the variable's shape. Required if `initializer` is a callable.
`dtype`	Optional. Data type of the variable. Defaults to the global float dtype type (`"float32"` if never configured).
`trainable`	Optional. Boolean indicating if variable is trainable. Defaults to `True`.
`name`	Optional. A unique name for the variable. Automatically generated if not set.

Examples:

Initializing a Variable with a NumPy array:

import numpy as np import keras initial_array = np.ones((3, 3)) variable_from_array = keras.Variable(initializer=initial_array)

Using a Keras initializer to create a Variable:

from keras.src.initializers import Ones variable_from_initializer = keras.Variable(     initializer=Ones(), shape=(3, 3), dtype="float32" )

Updating the value of a Variable:

new_value = np.zeros((3, 3), dtype="float32") variable_from_array.assign(new_value)

Marking a Variable as non-trainable:

non_trainable_variable = keras.Variable(     initializer=np.ones((3, 3), dtype="float32"), trainable=False )

Attributes
`name`	The name of the variable (string).
`path`	The path of the variable within the Keras model or layer (string).
`dtype`	The data type of the variable (string).
`shape`	The shape of the variable (tuple of integers).
`ndim`	The number of dimensions of the variable (integer).
`trainable`	Whether the variable is trainable (boolean).
`value`	The current value of the variable (NumPy array or tensor).
`aggregation`
`constraint`
`handle`
`overwrite_with_gradient`	Whether this variable should be overwritten by the gradient. This property is designed for a special case where we want to overwrite the variable directly with its computed gradient. For example, in float8 training, new `scale` and `amax_history` are computed as gradients, and we want to overwrite them directly instead of following the typical procedure such as gradient descent with a learning rate, gradient clipping and weight decaying.
`regularizer`
