tfp.substrates.numpy.math.reduce_logmeanexp

Computes log(mean(exp(input_tensor))).

tfp.substrates.numpy.math.reduce_logmeanexp(
    input_tensor,
    axis=None,
    keepdims=False,
    experimental_named_axis=None,
    experimental_allow_all_gather=False,
    name=None
)

Reduces input_tensor along the dimensions given in axis. Unless keepdims is true, the rank of the tensor is reduced by 1 for each entry in axis. If keepdims is true, the reduced dimensions are retained with length 1.

If axis has no entries, all dimensions are reduced, and a tensor with a single element is returned.

This function is more numerically stable than log(reduce_mean(exp(input))). It avoids overflows caused by taking the exp of large inputs and underflows caused by taking the log of small inputs.

input_tensor The tensor to reduce. Should have numeric type.
axis The dimensions to reduce. If None (the default), reduces all dimensions. Must be in the range [-rank(input_tensor), rank(input_tensor)).
keepdims Boolean. Whether to keep the axis as singleton dimensions. Default value: False (i.e., squeeze the reduced dimensions).
experimental_named_axis A str or list ofstraxis names to additionally reduce over. ProvidingNonewill not reduce over any axes. </td> </tr><tr> <td>experimental_allow_all_gather<a id="experimental_allow_all_gather"></a> </td> <td> Allow using anall_gather-based fallback under TensorFlow when computing the distributed maximum.
