Cross-entropy loss using tf.nn.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits.

Used in the guide

weights acts as a coefficient for the loss. If a scalar is provided, then the loss is simply scaled by the given value. If weights is a tensor of shape [batch_size], then the loss weights apply to each corresponding sample.

labels Tensor of shape [d_0, d_1, ..., d_{r-1}] (where r is rank of labels and result) and dtype int32 or int64. Each entry in labels must be an index in [0, num_classes). Other values will raise an exception when this op is run on CPU, and return NaN for corresponding loss and gradient rows on GPU.
logits Unscaled log probabilities of shape [d_0, d_1, ..., d_{r-1}, num_classes] and dtype float16, float32 or float64.
weights Coefficients for the loss. This must be scalar or broadcastable to labels (i.e. same rank and each dimension is either 1 or the same).
scope the scope for the operations performed in computing the loss.
loss_collection collection to which the loss will be added.
reduction Type of reduction to apply to loss.

Weighted loss Tensor of the same type as logits. If reduction is NONE, this has the same shape as labels; otherwise, it is scalar.

ValueError If the shapes of logits, labels, and weights are incompatible, or if any of them are None.

eager compatibility

The loss_collection argument is ignored when executing eagerly. Consider holding on to the return value or collecting losses via a tf.keras.Model.
