Naming features for Torch nn modules

luarock install nnname

nnname adds find() findAll() setName() methods to nn.Module, so please require nn and dpnn (optional) before nnname as follows. Also, it rewrites the __string() function to show module name. The name of a module is store at .name variable.

require 'nn'
require 'dpnn' -- optional
require 'nnname'

It sets the name of the module to name and return the module.

It returns the first nn.Module whose name is name in the nn.Container by default. It returns the last module with that specific name when last is true.

It returns a table of modules in the nn.Container whose name is name.

model = nn.Sequential():setName('net')
    :add(nn.Linear(10, 4):setName('linear'))
    :add(nn.ReLU(true):setName('relu_1'))
    :add(nn.Linear(4, 1):setName('linear'))
    :add(nn.Sigmoid(true):setName('Sigmoid'))

relu = model:find('relu_1') -- get the module with name 'relu_1'

linears = model:findAll('linear') -- get a table of modules with name 'linear'
