Remarks

For Beginners: In AI and machine learning, a computational graph is like a recipe that shows how calculations flow from inputs to outputs. Each step in this recipe is called a "node".

Sometimes, we need to change these nodes - maybe we want to remove a step, add a new one, or change how a step works. This class helps us keep track of what changes we want to make to which nodes.

Think of it like editing instructions in a recipe: you might want to replace one ingredient with another, remove a step, or add a new technique. This class helps keep track of those edits before you apply them.

Properties

NewNodeType

Gets or sets the new type for the node when changing its functionality.

public ExpressionNodeType? NewNodeType { get; set; }

Property Value

ExpressionNodeType?

Remarks

For Beginners: If we're changing how a node works (its type), this property specifies what we're changing it to.

For example, we might change a node that performs addition to one that performs multiplication instead.

This property is nullable (has the ? symbol) because it's only relevant when we're changing a node's type. For other modifications like adding or removing nodes, this property would be null (not used).

NodeId

Gets or sets the unique identifier of the node to be modified.

public int NodeId { get; set; }

Property Value

int

Remarks

For Beginners: This is like an ID number that uniquely identifies which specific node (calculation step) in the computational graph we want to modify. Each node has its own unique ID so we can tell them apart.

Type

Gets or sets the type of modification to apply to the node.

public ModificationType Type { get; set; }

Property Value

ModificationType

Remarks

For Beginners: This property specifies what kind of change we want to make to the node. For example, we might want to: - Add a new node - Remove an existing node - Change how a node works - Connect or disconnect nodes from each other

The ModificationType enum contains all the possible types of changes we can make.
