tf.RaggedTensor

Represents a ragged tensor.

A RaggedTensor is a tensor with one or more ragged dimensions, which are dimensions whose slices may have different lengths. For example, the inner (column) dimension of rt=[[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []] is ragged, since the column slices (rt[0, :], ..., rt[4, :]) have different lengths. Dimensions whose slices all have the same length are called uniform dimensions. The outermost dimension of a RaggedTensor is always uniform, since it consists of a single slice (and so there is no possibility for differing slice lengths).

The total number of dimensions in a RaggedTensor is called its rank, and the number of ragged dimensions in a RaggedTensor is called its ragged-rank. A RaggedTensor's ragged-rank is fixed at graph creation time: it can't depend on the runtime values of Tensors, and can't vary dynamically for different session runs.

Note that the __init__ constructor is private. Please use one of the following methods to construct a RaggedTensor:

Potentially Ragged Tensors

Many ops support both Tensors and RaggedTensors (see tf.ragged for a full listing). The term "potentially ragged tensor" may be used to refer to a tensor that might be either a Tensor or a RaggedTensor. The ragged-rank of a Tensor is zero.

Documenting RaggedTensor Shapes

When documenting the shape of a RaggedTensor, ragged dimensions can be indicated by enclosing them in parentheses. For example, the shape of a 3-D RaggedTensor that stores the fixed-size word embedding for each word in a sentence, for each sentence in a batch, could be written as [num_sentences, (num_words), embedding_size]. The parentheses around (num_words) indicate that dimension is ragged, and that the length of each element list in that dimension may vary for each item.

Component Tensors

Internally, a RaggedTensor consists of a concatenated list of values that are partitioned into variable-length rows. In particular, each RaggedTensor consists of:

  • A values tensor, which concatenates the variable-length rows into a flattened list. For example, the values tensor for [[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []] is [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6].

  • A row_splits vector, which indicates how those flattened values are divided into rows. In particular, the values for row rt[i] are stored in the slice rt.values[rt.row_splits[i]:rt.row_splits[i+1]].

Example:

print(tf.RaggedTensor.from_row_splits(
      values=[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6],
      row_splits=[0, 4, 4, 7, 8, 8]))
<tf.RaggedTensor [[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []]>

Alternative Row-Partitioning Schemes

In addition to row_splits, ragged tensors provide support for five other row-partitioning schemes:

  • row_lengths: a vector with shape [nrows], which specifies the length of each row.

  • value_rowids and nrows: value_rowids is a vector with shape [nvals], corresponding one-to-one with values, which specifies each value's row index. In particular, the row rt[row] consists of the values rt.values[j] where value_rowids[j]==row. nrows is an integer scalar that specifies the number of rows in the RaggedTensor. (nrows is used to indicate trailing empty rows.)

  • row_starts: a vector with shape [nrows], which specifies the start offset of each row. Equivalent to row_splits[:-1].

  • row_limits: a vector with shape [nrows], which specifies the stop offset of each row. Equivalent to row_splits[1:].

  • uniform_row_length: A scalar tensor, specifying the length of every row. This row-partitioning scheme may only be used if all rows have the same length.

Example: The following ragged tensors are equivalent, and all represent the nested list [[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []].

values = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6]
RaggedTensor.from_row_splits(values, row_splits=[0, 4, 4, 7, 8, 8])
<tf.RaggedTensor [[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []]>
RaggedTensor.from_row_lengths(values, row_lengths=[4, 0, 3, 1, 0])
<tf.RaggedTensor [[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []]>
RaggedTensor.from_value_rowids(
    values, value_rowids=[0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 2, 3], nrows=5)
<tf.RaggedTensor [[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []]>
RaggedTensor.from_row_starts(values, row_starts=[0, 4, 4, 7, 8])
<tf.RaggedTensor [[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []]>
RaggedTensor.from_row_limits(values, row_limits=[4, 4, 7, 8, 8])
<tf.RaggedTensor [[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []]>
RaggedTensor.from_uniform_row_length(values, uniform_row_length=2)
<tf.RaggedTensor [[3, 1], [4, 1], [5, 9], [2, 6]]>

Multiple Ragged Dimensions

RaggedTensors with multiple ragged dimensions can be defined by using a nested RaggedTensor for the values tensor. Each nested RaggedTensor adds a single ragged dimension.

inner_rt = RaggedTensor.from_row_splits(  # =rt1 from above
    values=[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6], row_splits=[0, 4, 4, 7, 8, 8])
outer_rt = RaggedTensor.from_row_splits(
    values=inner_rt, row_splits=[0, 3, 3, 5])
print(outer_rt.to_list())
[[[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2]], [], [[6], []]]
print(outer_rt.ragged_rank)
2

The factory function RaggedTensor.from_nested_row_splits may be used to construct a RaggedTensor with multiple ragged dimensions directly, by providing a list of row_splits tensors:

RaggedTensor.from_nested_row_splits(
    flat_values=[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6],
    nested_row_splits=([0, 3, 3, 5], [0, 4, 4, 7, 8, 8])).to_list()
[[[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2]], [], [[6], []]]

Uniform Inner Dimensions

RaggedTensors with uniform inner dimensions can be defined by using a multidimensional Tensor for values.

rt = RaggedTensor.from_row_splits(values=tf.ones([5, 3], tf.int32),
                                  row_splits=[0, 2, 5])
print(rt.to_list())
[[[1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1]],
 [[1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1]]]
print(rt.shape)
(2, None, 3)

Uniform Outer Dimensions

RaggedTensors with uniform outer dimensions can be defined by using one or more RaggedTensor with a uniform_row_length row-partitioning tensor. For example, a RaggedTensor with shape [2, 2, None] can be constructed with this method from a RaggedTensor values with shape [4, None]:

values = tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4], [5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10]])
print(values.shape)
(4, None)
rt6 = tf.RaggedTensor.from_uniform_row_length(values, 2)
print(rt6)
<tf.RaggedTensor [[[1, 2, 3], [4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10]]]>
print(rt6.shape)
(2, 2, None)

Note that rt6 only contains one ragged dimension (the innermost dimension). In contrast, if from_row_splits is used to construct a similar RaggedTensor, then that RaggedTensor will have two ragged dimensions:

rt7 = tf.RaggedTensor.from_row_splits(values, [0, 2, 4])
print(rt7.shape)
(2, None, None)

Uniform and ragged outer dimensions may be interleaved, meaning that a tensor with any combination of ragged and uniform dimensions may be created. For example, a RaggedTensor t4 with shape [3, None, 4, 8, None, 2] could be constructed as follows:

t0 = tf.zeros([1000, 2])                           # Shape:         [1000, 2]
t1 = RaggedTensor.from_row_lengths(t0, [...])      #           [160, None, 2]
t2 = RaggedTensor.from_uniform_row_length(t1, 8)   #         [20, 8, None, 2]
t3 = RaggedTensor.from_uniform_row_length(t2, 4)   #       [5, 4, 8, None, 2]
t4 = RaggedTensor.from_row_lengths(t3, [...])      # [3, None, 4, 8, None, 2]

dtype The DType of values in this tensor.
flat_values The innermost values tensor for this ragged tensor.

Concretely, if rt.values is a Tensor, then rt.flat_values is rt.values; otherwise, rt.flat_values is rt.values.flat_values.

Conceptually, flat_values is the tensor formed by flattening the outermost dimension and all of the ragged dimensions into a single dimension.

rt.flat_values.shape = [nvals] + rt.shape[rt.ragged_rank + 1:] (where nvals is the number of items in the flattened dimensions).

Example:

rt = tf.ragged.constant([[[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2]], [], [[6], []]])
print(rt.flat_values)
tf.Tensor([3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6], shape=(8,), dtype=int32)

nested_row_splits A tuple containing the row_splits for all ragged dimensions.

rt.nested_row_splits is a tuple containing the row_splits tensors for all ragged dimensions in rt, ordered from outermost to innermost. In particular, rt.nested_row_splits = (rt.row_splits,) + value_splits where:

* `value_splits = ()` if `rt.values` is a `Tensor`.
* `value_splits = rt.values.nested_row_splits` otherwise.

Example:

rt = tf.ragged.constant(
    [[[[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2]], [], [[6], []]]])
for i, splits in enumerate(rt.nested_row_splits):
  print('Splits for dimension %d: %s' % (i+1, splits.numpy()))
Splits for dimension 1: [0 3]
Splits for dimension 2: [0 3 3 5]
Splits for dimension 3: [0 4 4 7 8 8]

ragged_rank The number of times the RaggedTensor's flat_values is partitioned.

values = tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4], [5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10]])
values.ragged_rank
1

rt = tf.RaggedTensor.from_uniform_row_length(values, 2)
rt.ragged_rank
2

row_splits The row-split indices for this ragged tensor's values.

rt.row_splits specifies where the values for each row begin and end in rt.values. In particular, the values for row rt[i] are stored in the slice rt.values[rt.row_splits[i]:rt.row_splits[i+1]].

Example:

rt = tf.ragged.constant([[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []])
print(rt.row_splits)  # indices of row splits in rt.values
tf.Tensor([0 4 4 7 8 8], shape=(6,), dtype=int64)

shape The statically known shape of this ragged tensor.

tf.ragged.constant([[0], [1, 2]]).shape
TensorShape([2, None])

tf.ragged.constant([[[0, 1]], [[1, 2], [3, 4]]], ragged_rank=1).shape
TensorShape([2, None, 2])

uniform_row_length The length of each row in this ragged tensor, or None if rows are ragged.

rt1 = tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4], [5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10]])
print(rt1.uniform_row_length)  # rows are ragged.
None

rt2 = tf.RaggedTensor.from_uniform_row_length(
    values=rt1, uniform_row_length=2)
print(rt2)
<tf.RaggedTensor [[[1, 2, 3], [4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10]]]>
print(rt2.uniform_row_length)  # rows are not ragged (all have size 2).
tf.Tensor(2, shape=(), dtype=int64)

A RaggedTensor's rows are only considered to be uniform (i.e. non-ragged) if it can be determined statically (at graph construction time) that the rows all have the same length.

values The concatenated rows for this ragged tensor.

rt.values is a potentially ragged tensor formed by flattening the two outermost dimensions of rt into a single dimension.

rt.values.shape = [nvals] + rt.shape[2:] (where nvals is the number of items in the outer two dimensions of rt).

rt.ragged_rank = self.ragged_rank - 1

Example:

rt = tf.ragged.constant([[3, 1, 4, 1], [], [5, 9, 2], [6], []])
print(rt.values)
tf.Tensor([3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6], shape=(8,), dtype=int32)

from_tensor

View source

@classmethod
from_tensor(
    tensor,
    lengths=None,
    padding=None,
    ragged_rank=1,
    name=None,
    row_splits_dtype=tf.dtypes.int64
)

Converts a tf.Tensor into a RaggedTensor.

The set of absent/default values may be specified using a vector of lengths or a padding value (but not both). If lengths is specified, then the output tensor will satisfy output[row] = tensor[row][:lengths[row]]. If 'lengths' is a list of lists or tuple of lists, those lists will be used as nested row lengths. If padding is specified, then any row suffix consisting entirely of padding will be excluded from the returned RaggedTensor. If neither lengths nor padding is specified, then the returned RaggedTensor will have no absent/default values.

Examples:

dt = tf.constant([[5, 7, 0], [0, 3, 0], [6, 0, 0]])
tf.RaggedTensor.from_tensor(dt)
<tf.RaggedTensor [[5, 7, 0], [0, 3, 0], [6, 0, 0]]>
tf.RaggedTensor.from_tensor(dt, lengths=[1, 0, 3])
<tf.RaggedTensor [[5], [], [6, 0, 0]]>

tf.RaggedTensor.from_tensor(dt, padding=0)
<tf.RaggedTensor [[5, 7], [0, 3], [6]]>

dt = tf.constant([[[5, 0], [7, 0], [0, 0]],
                  [[0, 0], [3, 0], [0, 0]],
                  [[6, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]]])
tf.RaggedTensor.from_tensor(dt, lengths=([2, 0, 3], [1, 1, 2, 0, 1]))
<tf.RaggedTensor [[[5], [7]], [], [[6, 0], [], [0]]]>

Args
tensor The Tensor to convert. Must have rank ragged_rank + 1 or higher.
lengths An optional set of row lengths, specified using a 1-D integer Tensor whose length is equal to tensor.shape[0] (the number of rows in tensor). If specified, then output[row] will contain tensor[row][:lengths[row]]. Negative lengths are treated as zero. You may optionally pass a list or tuple of lengths to this argument, which will be used as nested row lengths to construct a ragged tensor with multiple ragged dimensions.
padding An optional padding value. If specified, then any row suffix consisting entirely of padding will be excluded from the returned RaggedTensor. padding is a Tensor with the same dtype as tensor and with shape=tensor.shape[ragged_rank + 1:].
ragged_rank Integer specifying the ragged rank for the returned RaggedTensor. Must be greater than zero.
name A name prefix for the returned tensors (optional).
row_splits_dtype dtype for the returned RaggedTensor's row_splits tensor. One of tf.int32 or tf.int64.

Returns
A RaggedTensor with the specified ragged_rank. The shape of the returned ragged tensor is compatible with the shape of tensor.

Raises
ValueError If both lengths and padding are specified.
ValueError If the rank of tensor is 0 or 1.

from_uniform_row_length

View source

@classmethod
from_uniform_row_length(
    values, uniform_row_length, nrows=None, validate=True, name=None
)

Creates a RaggedTensor with rows partitioned by uniform_row_length.

This method can be used to create RaggedTensors with multiple uniform outer dimensions. For example, a RaggedTensor with shape [2, 2, None] can be constructed with this method from a RaggedTensor values with shape [4, None]:

values = tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4], [5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10]])
print(values.shape)
(4, None)
rt1 = tf.RaggedTensor.from_uniform_row_length(values, 2)
print(rt1)
<tf.RaggedTensor [[[1, 2, 3], [4]], [[5, 6], [7, 8, 9, 10]]]>
print(rt1.shape)
(2, 2, None)

Note that rt1 only contains one ragged dimension (the innermost dimension). In contrast, if from_row_splits is used to construct a similar RaggedTensor, then that RaggedTensor will have two ragged dimensions:

rt2 = tf.RaggedTensor.from_row_splits(values, [0, 2, 4])
print(rt2.shape)
(2, None, None)

Args
values A potentially ragged tensor with shape [nvals, ...].
uniform_row_length A scalar integer tensor. Must be nonnegative. The size of the outer axis of values must be evenly divisible by uniform_row_length.
nrows The number of rows in the constructed RaggedTensor. If not specified, then it defaults to nvals/uniform_row_length (or 0 if uniform_row_length==0). nrows only needs to be specified if uniform_row_length might be zero. uniform_row_length*nrows must be nvals.
validate If true, then use assertions to check that the arguments form a valid RaggedTensor. Note: these assertions incur a runtime cost, since they must be checked for each tensor value.
name A name prefix for the RaggedTensor (optional).

Returns
A RaggedTensor that corresponds with the python list defined by:

result = [[values.pop(0) for i in range(uniform_row_length)]
          for _ in range(nrows)]

result.rank = values.rank + 1. result.ragged_rank = values.ragged_rank + 1.

View source

@classmethod
from_value_rowids(
    values, value_rowids, nrows=None, name=None, validate=True
)

Creates a RaggedTensor with rows partitioned by value_rowids.

The returned RaggedTensor corresponds with the python list defined by:

result = [[values[i] for i in range(len(values)) if value_rowids[i] == row]
          for row in range(nrows)]

Args
values A potentially ragged tensor with shape [nvals, ...].
value_rowids A 1-D integer tensor with shape [nvals], which corresponds one-to-one with values, and specifies each value's row index. Must be nonnegative, and must be sorted in ascending order.
nrows An integer scalar specifying the number of rows. This should be specified if the RaggedTensor may containing empty training rows. Must be greater than value_rowids[-1] (or zero if value_rowids is empty). Defaults to value_rowids[-1] + 1 (or zero if value_rowids is empty).
name A name prefix for the RaggedTensor (optional).
validate If true, then use assertions to check that the arguments form a valid RaggedTensor. Note: these assertions incur a runtime cost, since they must be checked for each tensor value.

Returns
A RaggedTensor. result.rank = values.rank + 1. result.ragged_rank = values.ragged_rank + 1.

Raises
ValueError If nrows is incompatible with value_rowids.

Example:

print(tf.RaggedTensor.from_value_rowids(
    values=[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6],
    value_rowids=[0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 2, 3],

    outer_axis, inner_axis
)

Merges outer_axis...inner_axis into a single dimension.

print(rt.merge_dims(0, 2))
tf.Tensor([1 2 3 4 5 6], shape=(6,), dtype=int32)

To mimic the behavior of np.flatten (which flattens all dimensions), use rt.merge_dims(0, -1). To mimic the behavior oftf.layers.Flatten(which flattens all dimensions except the outermost batch dimension), usert.merge_dims(1, -1)`.

Args

numpy

View source

numpy()

tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]], dtype=tf.int64).numpy()
array([array([1, 2, 3]), array([4, 5])], dtype=object)

Uniform dimensions are encoded using multidimensional numpy arrays. In the following example, the value returned by RaggedTensor.numpy() contains a single numpy array object, with rank=2 and dtype=int64:

tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], dtype=tf.int64).numpy()

__abs__

View source

__abs__(
    name=None
)

Computes the absolute value of a tensor.

Given a tensor of integer or floating-point values, this operation returns a tensor of the same type, where each element contains the absolute value of the corresponding element in the input.

Given a tensor x of complex numbers, this operation returns a tensor of type float32 or float64 that is the absolute value of each element in x. For a complex number \(a + bj\), its absolute value is computed as \(\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\).

For example:

# real number
x = tf.constant([-2.25, 3.25])
tf.abs(x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=float32,
numpy=array([2.25, 3.25], dtype=float32)>

# complex number
x = tf.constant([[-2.25 + 4.75j], [-3.25 + 5.75j]])
tf.abs(x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 1), dtype=float64, numpy=
array([[5.25594901],
       [6.60492241]])>

Args
x A Tensor or SparseTensor of type float16, float32, float64, int32, int64, complex64 or complex128.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A Tensor or SparseTensor of the same size, type and sparsity as x, with absolute values. Note, for complex64 or complex128 input, the returned Tensor will be of type float32 or float64, respectively.

If x is a SparseTensor, returns SparseTensor(x.indices, tf.math.abs(x.values, ...), x.dense_shape)

__add__

View source

__add__(
    y, name=None
)

Returns x + y element-wise.

Example usages below.

Add a scalar and a list:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = 1
tf.add(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
dtype=int32)>

Note that binary + operator can be used instead:

x = tf.convert_to_tensor([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
y = tf.convert_to_tensor(1)
x + y
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
dtype=int32)>

Add a tensor and a list of same shape:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = tf.constant([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
tf.add(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32,
numpy=array([ 2,  4,  6,  8, 10], dtype=int32)>

For example,

x = tf.constant([1, 2], dtype=tf.int8)
y = [2**7 + 1, 2**7 + 2]
tf.add(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=int8, numpy=array([-126, -124], dtype=int8)>

When adding two input values of different shapes, Add follows NumPy broadcasting rules. The two input array shapes are compared element-wise. Starting with the trailing dimensions, the two dimensions either have to be equal or one of them needs to be 1.

For example,

x = np.ones(6).reshape(1, 2, 1, 3)
y = np.ones(6).reshape(2, 1, 3, 1)
tf.add(x, y).shape.as_list()
[2, 2, 3, 3]

Another example with two arrays of different dimension.

x = np.ones([1, 2, 1, 4])
y = np.ones([3, 4])
tf.add(x, y).shape.as_list()
[1, 2, 3, 4]

The reduction version of this elementwise operation is tf.math.reduce_sum

Args
x A tf.Tensor. Must be one of the following types: bfloat16, half, float32, float64, uint8, int8, int16, int32, int64, complex64, complex128, string.
y A tf.Tensor. Must have the same type as x.
name A name for the operation (optional)

__and__

__and__(
    y, name=None
)

Returns the truth value of x AND y element-wise.

Logical AND function.

Requires that x and y have the same shape or have broadcast-compatible shapes. For example, x and y can be:

  • Two single elements of type bool.
  • One tf.Tensor of type bool and one single bool, where the result will be calculated by applying logical AND with the single element to each element in the larger Tensor.
  • Two tf.Tensor objects of type bool of the same shape. In this case, the result will be the element-wise logical AND of the two input tensors.

You can also use the & operator instead.

Usage

>>> a = tf.constant([True])
>>> b = tf.constant([False])
>>> tf.math.logical_and(a, b)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False])>
>>> a & b
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False])>

c = tf.constant([True])
x = tf.constant([False, True, True, False])
tf.math.logical_and(c, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False,  True,  True, False])>
c & x
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False,  True,  True, False])>

y = tf.constant([False, False, True, True])
z = tf.constant([False, True, False, True])
tf.math.logical_and(y, z)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False, False, False, True])>
y & z
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False, False, False, True])>

This op also supports broadcasting

tf.logical_and([[True, False]], [[True], [False]])
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 2), dtype=bool, numpy=
  array([[ True, False],
         [False, False]])>

The reduction version of this elementwise operation is tf.math.reduce_all.

Args
x A tf.Tensor of type bool.
y A tf.Tensor of type bool.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A tf.Tensor of type bool with the shape that x and y broadcast to.

Args
x A Tensor of type bool.

name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A Tensor of type bool.

__bool__

View source

__bool__()

Dummy method to prevent a RaggedTensor from being used as a Python bool.

__div__

View source

__div__(
    y, name=None
)

Divides x / y elementwise (using Python 2 division operator semantics). (deprecated)

This function divides x and y, forcing Python 2 semantics. That is, if x and y are both integers then the result will be an integer. This is in contrast to Python 3, where division with / is always a float while division with // is always an integer.

Args
x Tensor numerator of real numeric type.
y Tensor denominator of real numeric type.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
x / y returns the quotient of x and y.

Migrate to TF2

This function is deprecated in TF2. Prefer using the Tensor division operator, tf.divide, or tf.math.divide, which obey the Python 3 division operator semantics.

__eq__

View source

__eq__(
    other
)

The operation invoked by the Tensor.eq operator.

Compares two tensors element-wise for equality if they are broadcast-compatible; or returns False if they are not broadcast-compatible. (Note that this behavior differs from tf.math.equal, which raises an exception if the two tensors are not broadcast-compatible.)

Purpose in the API
This method is exposed in TensorFlow's API so that library developers can register dispatching for Tensor.eq to allow it to handle custom composite tensors & other custom objects.

The API symbol is not intended to be called by users directly and does appear in TensorFlow's generated documentation.

Args
self The left-hand side of the == operator.
other The right-hand side of the == operator.

Returns
The result of the elementwise == operation, or False if the arguments are not broadcast-compatible.

__floordiv__

View source

__floordiv__(
    y, name=None
)

Divides x / y elementwise, rounding toward the most negative integer.

Mathematically, this is equivalent to floor(x / y). For example: floor(8.4 / 4.0) = floor(2.1) = 2.0 floor(-8.4 / 4.0) = floor(-2.1) = -3.0 This is equivalent to the '//' operator in Python 3.0 and above.

Args
x Tensor numerator of real numeric type.
y Tensor denominator of real numeric type.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
x / y rounded toward -infinity.

Raises
TypeError If the inputs are complex.

__ge__

__ge__(
    y, name=None
)

Returns the truth value of (x >= y) element-wise.

Example:

x = tf.constant([5, 4, 6, 7])
y = tf.constant([5, 2, 5, 10])
tf.math.greater_equal(x, y) ==> [True, True, True, False]

x = tf.constant([5, 4, 6, 7])
y = tf.constant([5])
tf.math.greater_equal(x, y) ==> [True, False, True, True]

Args
x A Tensor. Must be one of the following types: float32, float64, int32, uint8, int16, int8, int64, bfloat16, uint16, half, uint32, uint64.
y A Tensor. Must have the same type as x.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A Tensor of type bool.

__getitem__

View source

__getitem__(
    key
)

Returns the specified piece of this RaggedTensor.

Supports multidimensional indexing and slicing, with one restriction: indexing into a ragged inner dimension is not allowed. This case is problematic because the indicated value may exist in some rows but not others. In such cases, it's not obvious whether we should (1) report an IndexError; (2) use a default value; or (3) skip that value and return a tensor with fewer rows than we started with. Following the guiding principles of Python ("In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess"), we simply disallow this operation.

Args
rt_input The RaggedTensor to slice.
key Indicates which piece of the RaggedTensor to return, using standard Python semantics (e.g., negative values index from the end). key may have any of the following types:

  • int constant
  • Scalar integer Tensor

  • slice containing integer constants and/or scalar integer Tensors

  • Ellipsis

  • tf.newaxis

  • tuple containing any of the above (for multidimensional indexing)

Returns
A Tensor or RaggedTensor object. Values that include at least one ragged dimension are returned as RaggedTensor. Values that include no ragged dimensions are returned as Tensor. See above for examples of expressions that return Tensors vs RaggedTensors.

Raises
ValueError If key is out of bounds.
ValueError If key is not supported.
TypeError If the indices in key have an unsupported type.

Examples:

rt = tf.ragged.constant([['a', 'b', 'c'], ['d', 'e'], ['f'], ['g']])

tf.math.multiply(x, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=..., numpy=array([ 1,  4,  9, 16], dtype=int32)>

Since tf.math.multiply will convert its arguments to Tensors, you can also pass in non-Tensor arguments:

tf.math.multiply(7,6)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=42>

If x.shape is not the same as y.shape, they will be broadcast to a compatible shape. (More about broadcasting here.)

__ne__

View source

__ne__(
    other
)

The operation invoked by the Tensor.ne operator.

Compares two tensors element-wise for inequality if they are broadcast-compatible; or returns True if they are not broadcast-compatible. (Note that this behavior differs from tf.math.not_equal, which raises an exception if the two tensors are not broadcast-compatible.)

Purpose in the API
This method is exposed in TensorFlow's API so that library developers can register dispatching for Tensor.ne to allow it to handle custom composite tensors & other custom objects.

The API symbol is not intended to be called by users directly and does appear in TensorFlow's generated documentation.

Args
self The left-hand side of the != operator.
other The right-hand side of the != operator.

Returns
The result of the elementwise != operation, or True if the arguments are not broadcast-compatible.

__neg__

__neg__(

name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A Tensor. Has the same type as x.

If x is a SparseTensor, returns SparseTensor(x.indices, tf.math.negative(x.values, ...), x.dense_shape)

__nonzero__

View source

__nonzero__()

Dummy method to prevent a RaggedTensor from being used as a Python bool.

__or__

__or__(
    y, name=None
)

Returns the truth value of x OR y element-wise.

Logical OR function.

Requires that x and y have the same shape or have broadcast-compatible shapes. For example, x and y can be:

  • Two single elements of type bool.
  • One tf.Tensor of type bool and one single bool, where the result will be calculated by applying logical OR with the single element to each element in the larger Tensor.
  • Two tf.Tensor objects of type bool of the same shape. In this case, the result will be the element-wise logical OR of the two input tensors.

You can also use the | operator instead.

Usage

>>> a = tf.constant([True])
>>> b = tf.constant([False])
>>> tf.math.logical_or(a, b)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([ True])>
>>> a | b
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([ True])>

c = tf.constant([False])
x = tf.constant([False, True, True, False])
tf.math.logical_or(c, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False, True,  True, False])>
c | x
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False, True,  True, False])>

y = tf.constant([False, False, True, True])
z = tf.constant([False, True, False, True])
tf.math.logical_or(y, z)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False, True, True, True])>
y | z
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False, True, True, True])>

This op also supports broadcasting

tf.logical_or([[True, False]], [[True], [False]])
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 2), dtype=bool, numpy=
array([[ True,  True],
     [ True, False]])>

The reduction version of this elementwise operation is tf.math.reduce_any.

name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A tf.Tensor of type bool with the shape that x and y broadcast to.

name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A Tensor of type bool.

__pow__

View source

__pow__(
    y, name=None
)

Computes the power of one value to another.

Given a tensor x and a tensor y, this operation computes \(x^y\) for corresponding elements in x and y. For example:

x = tf.constant([[2, 2], [3, 3]])
y = tf.constant([[8, 16], [2, 3]])
tf.pow(x, y)  # [[256, 65536], [9, 27]]

Args
x A Tensor of type float16, float32, float64, int32, int64, complex64, or complex128.
y A Tensor of type float16, float32, float64, int32, int64, complex64, or complex128.

__radd__

View source

__radd__(
    y, name=None
)

Returns x + y element-wise.

Example usages below.

Add a scalar and a list:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = 1
tf.add(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
dtype=int32)>

Note that binary + operator can be used instead:

x = tf.convert_to_tensor([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
y = tf.convert_to_tensor(1)
x + y
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
dtype=int32)>

Add a tensor and a list of same shape:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = tf.constant([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
tf.add(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32,
numpy=array([ 2,  4,  6,  8, 10], dtype=int32)>

For example,

x = tf.constant([1, 2], dtype=tf.int8)
y = [2**7 + 1, 2**7 + 2]
tf.add(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=int8, numpy=array([-126, -124], dtype=int8)>

When adding two input values of different shapes, Add follows NumPy broadcasting rules. The two input array shapes are compared element-wise. Starting with the trailing dimensions, the two dimensions either have to be equal or one of them needs to be 1.

For example,

x = np.ones(6).reshape(1, 2, 1, 3)
y = np.ones(6).reshape(2, 1, 3, 1)
tf.add(x, y).shape.as_list()
[2, 2, 3, 3]

Another example with two arrays of different dimension.

x = np.ones([1, 2, 1, 4])
y = np.ones([3, 4])
tf.add(x, y).shape.as_list()
[1, 2, 3, 4]

The reduction version of this elementwise operation is tf.math.reduce_sum

Args

y A tf.Tensor. Must have the same type as x.
name A name for the operation (optional)

__rand__

__rand__(
    y, name=None
)

Returns the truth value of x AND y element-wise.

Logical AND function.

Requires that x and y have the same shape or have broadcast-compatible shapes. For example, x and y can be:

  • Two single elements of type bool.
  • One tf.Tensor of type bool and one single bool, where the result will be calculated by applying logical AND with the single element to each element in the larger Tensor.
  • Two tf.Tensor objects of type bool of the same shape. In this case, the result will be the element-wise logical AND of the two input tensors.

You can also use the & operator instead.

Usage

>>> a = tf.constant([True])
>>> b = tf.constant([False])
>>> tf.math.logical_and(a, b)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False])>
>>> a & b
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False])>

c = tf.constant([True])
x = tf.constant([False, True, True, False])
tf.math.logical_and(c, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False,  True,  True, False])>
c & x
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False,  True,  True, False])>

y = tf.constant([False, False, True, True])
z = tf.constant([False, True, False, True])
tf.math.logical_and(y, z)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False, False, False, True])>
y & z
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False, False, False, True])>

This op also supports broadcasting

tf.logical_and([[True, False]], [[True], [False]])

  array([[ True, False],
         [False, False]])>

Returns
A Tensor of type bool.

__rdiv__

View source

__rdiv__(
    y, name=None
)

Divides x / y elementwise (using Python 2 division operator semantics). (deprecated)

This function divides x and y, forcing Python 2 semantics. That is, if x and y are both integers then the result will be an integer. This is in contrast to Python 3, where division with / is always a float while division with // is always an integer.

Args
x Tensor numerator of real numeric type.
y Tensor denominator of real numeric type.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
x / y returns the quotient of x and y.

Migrate to TF2

This function is deprecated in TF2. Prefer using the Tensor division operator, tf.divide, or tf.math.divide, which obey the Python 3 division operator semantics.

__rfloordiv__

View source

__rfloordiv__(
    y, name=None
)

Divides x / y elementwise, rounding toward the most negative integer.

Mathematically, this is equivalent to floor(x / y). For example: floor(8.4 / 4.0) = floor(2.1) = 2.0 floor(-8.4 / 4.0) = floor(-2.1) = -3.0 This is equivalent to the '//' operator in Python 3.0 and above.

Args
x Tensor numerator of real numeric type.
y Tensor denominator of real numeric type.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
x / y rounded toward -infinity.

Raises
TypeError If the inputs are complex.

__rmod__

__rmod__(
    y, name=None

Since tf.math.multiply will convert its arguments to Tensors, you can also pass in non-Tensor arguments:

tf.math.multiply(7,6)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=42>

If x.shape is not the same as y.shape, they will be broadcast to a compatible shape. (More about broadcasting here.)

For example:

x = tf.ones([1, 2]);
y = tf.ones([2, 1]);

__ror__

__ror__(
    y, name=None
)

  • Two tf.Tensor objects of type bool of the same shape. In this case, the result will be the element-wise logical OR of the two input tensors.

You can also use the | operator instead.

Usage

__rpow__

View source

__rpow__(
    y, name=None
)

Computes the power of one value to another.

Given a tensor x and a tensor y, this operation computes \(x^y\) for corresponding elements in x and y. For example:

x = tf.constant([[2, 2], [3, 3]])

__rsub__

View source

__rsub__(
    y, name=None
)

Returns x - y element-wise.

Both input and output have a range (-inf, inf).

Example usages below.

Subtract operation between an array and a scalar:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = 1
tf.subtract(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], dtype=int32)>
tf.subtract(y, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32,
numpy=array([ 0, -1, -2, -3, -4], dtype=int32)>

Note that binary - operator can be used instead:

x = tf.convert_to_tensor([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
y = tf.convert_to_tensor(1)
x - y
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], dtype=int32)>

Subtract operation between an array and a tensor of same shape:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = tf.constant([5, 4, 3, 2, 1])
tf.subtract(y, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32,
numpy=array([ 4,  2,  0, -2, -4], dtype=int32)>

For example,

x = tf.constant([1, 2], dtype=tf.int8)
y = [2**8 + 1, 2**8 + 2]
tf.subtract(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=int8, numpy=array([0, 0], dtype=int8)>

When subtracting two input values of different shapes, tf.subtract follows the general broadcasting rules . The two input array shapes are compared element-wise. Starting with the trailing dimensions, the two dimensions either have to be equal or one of them needs to be 1.

For example,

x = np.ones(6).reshape(2, 3, 1)
y = np.ones(6).reshape(2, 1, 3)
tf.subtract(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3, 3), dtype=float64, numpy=
array([[[0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0.]],
       [[0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0.]]])>

Example with inputs of different dimensions:

x = np.ones(6).reshape(2, 3, 1)
y = np.ones(6).reshape(1, 6)
tf.subtract(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3, 6), dtype=float64, numpy=
array([[[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]],
       [[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]]])>

A Tensor. Has the same type as x.

__rtruediv__

View source

__rtruediv__(
    y, name=None
)

Divides x / y elementwise (using Python 3 division operator semantics).

This function forces Python 3 division operator semantics where all integer arguments are cast to floating types first. This op is generated by normal x / y division in Python 3 and in Python 2.7 with from __future__ import division. If you want integer division that rounds down, use x // y or tf.math.floordiv.

x and y must have the same numeric type. If the inputs are floating point, the output will have the same type. If the inputs are integral, the inputs are cast to float32 for int8 and int16 and float64 for int32 and int64 (matching the behavior of Numpy).

Args
x Tensor numerator of numeric type.
y Tensor denominator of numeric type.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
x / y evaluated in floating point.

Raises
TypeError If x and y have different dtypes.

__rxor__

View source

__rxor__(
    y, name='LogicalXor'
)

Logical XOR function.

x ^ y = (x | y) & ~(x & y)

Requires that x and y have the same shape or have broadcast-compatible shapes. For example, x and y can be:

  • Two single elements of type bool
  • One tf.Tensor of type bool and one single bool, where the result will be calculated by applying logical XOR with the single element to each element in the larger Tensor.
  • Two tf.Tensor objects of type bool of the same shape. In this case, the result will be the element-wise logical XOR of the two input tensors.

Usage:

a = tf.constant([True])
b = tf.constant([False])
tf.math.logical_xor(a, b)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([ True])>

c = tf.constant([True])
x = tf.constant([False, True, True, False])
tf.math.logical_xor(c, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([ True, False, False,  True])>

y = tf.constant([False, False, True, True])
z = tf.constant([False, True, False, True])
tf.math.logical_xor(y, z)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False,  True,  True, False])>

Args
x A tf.Tensor type bool.
y A tf.Tensor of type bool.
name A name for the operation (optional).

y = 1
tf.subtract(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], dtype=int32)>
tf.subtract(y, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32,
numpy=array([ 0, -1, -2, -3, -4], dtype=int32)>

Note that binary - operator can be used instead:

y = tf.convert_to_tensor(1)
x - y
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], dtype=int32)>

Subtract operation between an array and a tensor of same shape:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = tf.constant([5, 4, 3, 2, 1])
tf.subtract(y, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5,), dtype=int32,
numpy=array([ 4,  2,  0, -2, -4], dtype=int32)>

For example,

x = tf.constant([1, 2], dtype=tf.int8)
y = [2**8 + 1, 2**8 + 2]
tf.subtract(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=int8, numpy=array([0, 0], dtype=int8)>

When subtracting two input values of different shapes, tf.subtract follows the general broadcasting rules . The two input array shapes are compared element-wise. Starting with the trailing dimensions, the two dimensions either have to be equal or one of them needs to be 1.

For example,

x = np.ones(6).reshape(2, 3, 1)
y = np.ones(6).reshape(2, 1, 3)
tf.subtract(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3, 3), dtype=float64, numpy=
array([[[0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0.]],
       [[0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0.]]])>

Example with inputs of different dimensions:

x = np.ones(6).reshape(2, 3, 1)
y = np.ones(6).reshape(1, 6)
tf.subtract(x, y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3, 6), dtype=float64, numpy=
array([[[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]],
       [[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.]]])>

Args
x A Tensor. Must be one of the following types: bfloat16, half, float32, float64, uint8, int8, uint16, int16, int32, int64, complex64, complex128, uint32, uint64.
y A Tensor. Must have the same type as x.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A Tensor. Has the same type as x.

__truediv__

__truediv__(
    y, name=None
)

Divides x / y elementwise (using Python 3 division operator semantics).

This function forces Python 3 division operator semantics where all integer arguments are cast to floating types first. This op is generated by normal x / y division in Python 3 and in Python 2.7 with from __future__ import division. If you want integer division that rounds down, use x // y or tf.math.floordiv.

x and y must have the same numeric type. If the inputs are floating point, the output will have the same type. If the inputs are integral, the inputs are cast to float32 for int8 and int16 and float64 for int32 and int64 (matching the behavior of Numpy).

Args
x Tensor numerator of numeric type.
y Tensor denominator of numeric type.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
x / y evaluated in floating point.

Raises
TypeError If x and y have different dtypes.

__xor__

__xor__(
    y, name='LogicalXor'
)

Logical XOR function.

x ^ y = (x | y) & ~(x & y)

Requires that x and y have the same shape or have broadcast-compatible shapes. For example, x and y can be:

  • Two single elements of type bool
  • One tf.Tensor of type bool and one single bool, where the result will be calculated by applying logical XOR with the single element to each element in the larger Tensor.
  • Two tf.Tensor objects of type bool of the same shape. In this case, the result will be the element-wise logical XOR of the two input tensors.

Usage:

a = tf.constant([True])
b = tf.constant([False])
tf.math.logical_xor(a, b)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([ True])>

c = tf.constant([True])
x = tf.constant([False, True, True, False])
tf.math.logical_xor(c, x)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([ True, False, False,  True])>

y = tf.constant([False, False, True, True])
z = tf.constant([False, True, False, True])
tf.math.logical_xor(y, z)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=bool, numpy=array([False,  True,  True, False])>

Args
x A tf.Tensor type bool.
y A tf.Tensor of type bool.
name A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A tf.Tensor of type bool with the same size as that of x or y.
