jax.tree_util.register_pytree_node¶

jax.tree_util.register_pytree_node(nodetype, flatten_func, unflatten_func)[source]¶

Extends the set of types that are considered internal nodes in pytrees.

Parameters

nodetype (Type[~T]) – a Python type to treat as an internal pytree node.
flatten_func (Callable[[~T], Tuple[~_Children, ~_AuxData]]) – a function to be used during flattening, taking a value of type nodetype and returning a pair, with (1) an iterable for the children to be flattened recursively, and (2) some hashable auxiliary data to be stored in the treedef and to be passed to the unflatten_func.
unflatten_func (Callable[[~_AuxData, ~_Children], ~T]) – a function taking two arguments: the auxiliary data that was returned by flatten_func and stored in the treedef, and the unflattened children. The function should return an instance of nodetype.
