Can i Implement a custom pooling function

[beebrain]

I implement a convolution neural network on Keras with Theano backend. And I want to change pooling function to RMS (Root Mean Square) function.

How to change a pooling function to custom function?

Hi. If this is just for your own use, I can suggest the following: Make a copy of the "pooling.py" file in your local python directory, and rename it to something like "custom_pooling.py" . It will have all the needed module imports - check in this link: https://github.com/fchollet/keras/tree/master/keras/layers
Then, select the pooling class that is closest to what you want to implement and rename it to
"class RMS_Pooling1D(Layer):" etc. When you are ready, just import this class like any other layer. I created my own layer in a similar way. I hope this helps. Thanks.

Maybe I misunderstand, but can't RMS pooling be implemented as square -> avg. pool -> sqrt ?
