1 nn.Sequential概述
1.1 nn.Sequential介绍
nn.Sequential是一个序列容器，用于搭建神经网络的模块被按照被传入构造器的顺序添加到容器中。除此之外，一个包含神经网络模块的OrderedDict也可以被传入nn.Sequential()容器中。利用nn.Sequential()搭建好模型架构，模型前向传播时调用forward()方法，模型接收的输入首先被传入nn.Sequential()包含的第一个网络模块中。然后，第一个网络模块的输出传入第二个网络模块作为输入，按照顺序依次计算并传播，直到nn.Sequential()里的最后一个模块输出结果。
因此，Sequential可以看成是有多个函数运算对象，串联成的神经网络，其返回的是Module类型的神经网络对象。
1.2 nn.Sequential的本质作用
与一层一层的单独调用模块组成序列相比，nn.Sequential() 可以允许将整个容器视为单个模块（即相当于把多个模块封装成一个模块），forward()方法接收输入之后，nn.Sequential()按照内部模块的顺序自动依次计算并输出结果。这就意味着我们可以利用nn.Sequential() 自定义自己的网络层。
示例代码：
from torch import nn
class net(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, in_channel, out_channel):
super(net, self).__init__()
self.layer1 = nn.Sequential(nn.Conv2d(in_channel, in_channel / 4, kernel_size=1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(in_channel / 4),
nn.ReLU())
self.layer2 = nn.Sequential(nn.Conv2d(in_channel / 4, in_channel / 4),
nn.BatchNorm2d(in_channel / 4),
nn.ReLU())
self.layer3 = nn.Sequential(nn.Conv2d(in_channel / 4, out_channel, kernel_size=1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(out_channel),
nn.ReLU())
def forward(self, x):
x = self.layer1(x)
x = self.layer2(x)
x = self.layer3(x)
return x上边的代码，我们通过nn.Sequential()将卷积层，BN层和激活函数层封装在一个层中，输入x经过卷积、BN和ReLU后直接输出激活函数作用之后的结果。
1.3 nn.Sequential源码
def __init__(self, *args):
super(Sequential, self).__init__()
if len(args) == 1 and isinstance(args[0], OrderedDict):
for key, module in args[0].items():
self.add_module(key, module)
else:
for idx, module in enumerate(args):
self.add_module(str(idx), module)nn.Sequential()首先判断接收的参数是否为OrderedDict类型，如果是的话，分别取出OrderedDict内每个元素的key（自定义的网络模块名）和value（网络模块），然后将其通过add_module方法添加到nn.Sequrntial()中。
# NB: We can't really type check this function as the type of input
# may change dynamically (as is tested in
# TestScript.test_sequential_intermediary_types). Cannot annotate
# with Any as TorchScript expects a more precise type
def forward(self, input):
for module in self:
input = module(input)
return input调用forward()方法进行前向传播时，for循环按照顺序遍历nn.Sequential()中存储的网络模块，并以此计算输出结果，并返回最终的计算结果。
