How to share the parameters of dropout layer in Siamese?

[Viveka Kulharia]

Hi, I am using the following to share dropout parameters in Siamese. But it gives the error: "Too many params specified for layer drop3_p ...". Is it the case that dropout layer parameters need not be changed? Thanks.

layer {

  name: "drop3_p"

  type: "Dropout"

  bottom: "fc3-conv_p"

  top: "fc3-conv_p"

  param { 

    name: "share_drop3"

  }

  dropout_param {

    dropout_ratio: 0.5

  }

}

To the best of my knowledge, a dropout layer does not have any trainable parameters, so there is nothing to be shared. The only parameter of a dropout layer is the dropout_ratio, but that is fixed and not altered by training.
