Pass this to embedding_column or indicator_column to convert sequence
categorical data into dense representation for input to sequence NN, such as
RNN.
Range of inputs. Namely, inputs are expected to be in the range
[0, num_buckets).
default_value
If None, this column's graph operations will fail for
out-of-range inputs. Otherwise, this value must be in the range [0,
num_buckets), and will replace out-of-range inputs.
Returns
A SequenceCategoricalColumn.
Raises
ValueError
if num_buckets is less than one.
ValueError
if default_value is not in range [0, num_buckets).
