Backpropagation of a Neural Network containing Rolling Tensors and an Input Layer that is not at the Bottom...












0














I am currently creating a neural network for a side-project I am working on. I do not have the code ready, however for my basic structure, I was wondering if the following is possible / allowed with Neural Networks using Tensorflow.



My input layer is not the lowest layer of my neural network, and I am wondering if this will still allow the network to train properly using backpropagation. Essentially I would like my input layer to control how much a certain layer should be rolled via using the tf.roll, with my input layer controlling the amount of shift. In addition, there will be a placeholder layer that will be used as a mask on our rolled layer, prior to the input.



Essentially, my neural network will look as follows:



Hidden layer -> Hidden layer -> Hidden layer/"Output Layer" -> Input Layer That Rolls the previous layer -> Input Layer that Masks part of the previous layer -> Transformation -> Error



As you can see, all of my weights are "below" the input layer, and because of this I am unsure if gradient descent will work properly. The reason why it is designed this way is because my "Output Layer" is a Fourier transform, and my Input layer is providing a shift in the Fourier space, and then later converted into an audio signal. I am then using a spectrogram to compute the error in my output.



Will I still be able to use backpropagation in a design like this? Essentially everything "above" the input layer are constant transformations, and because of this in addition to the tf.roll, will backprop still work? Thank you so much!
