Experimental API for building input pipelines.
This module contains experimental Dataset sources and transformations that can
be used in conjunction with the tf.data.Dataset API. Note that the
tf.data.experimental API is not subject to the same backwards compatibility
guarantees as tf.data, but we will provide deprecation advice in advance of
removing existing functionality.
See Importing Data for an overview.

Functions
Counter(...): Creates a Dataset that counts from start in steps of size step.
bucket_by_sequence_length(...): A transformation that buckets elements in a Dataset by length.
bytes_produced_stats(...): Records the number of bytes produced by each element of the input dataset.
cardinality(...): Returns the cardinality of dataset, if known.
choose_from_datasets(...): Creates a dataset that deterministically chooses elements from datasets.
copy_to_device(...): A transformation that copies dataset elements to the given target_device.
dense_to_sparse_batch(...): A transformation that batches ragged elements into tf.SparseTensors.
enumerate_dataset(...): A transformation that enumerates the elements of a dataset. (deprecated)
from_variant(...): Constructs a dataset from the given variant and structure.
get_next_as_optional(...): Returns an Optional that contains the next value from the iterator.
get_single_element(...): Returns the single element in dataset as a nested structure of tensors.
get_structure(...): Returns the type specification of an element of a Dataset or Iterator.
group_by_reducer(...): A transformation that groups elements and performs a reduction.
group_by_window(...): A transformation that groups windows of elements by key and reduces them.
ignore_errors(...): Creates a Dataset from another Dataset and silently ignores any errors.
latency_stats(...): Records the latency of producing each element of the input dataset.
make_batched_features_dataset(...): Returns a Dataset of feature dictionaries from Example protos.
make_csv_dataset(...): Reads CSV files into a dataset.

map_and_batch(...): Fused implementation of map and batch. (deprecated)
parallel_interleave(...): A parallel version of the Dataset.interleave() transformation. (deprecated)
parse_example_dataset(...): A transformation that parses Example protos into a dict of tensors.
prefetch_to_device(...): A transformation that prefetches dataset values to the given device.
rejection_resample(...): A transformation that resamples a dataset to achieve a target distribution.
sample_from_datasets(...): Samples elements at random from the datasets in datasets.
scan(...): A transformation that scans a function across an input dataset.
shuffle_and_repeat(...): Shuffles and repeats a Dataset returning a new permutation for each epoch. (deprecated)
take_while(...): A transformation that stops dataset iteration based on a predicate.
to_variant(...): Returns a variant representing the given dataset.
unbatch(...): Splits elements of a dataset into multiple elements on the batch dimension. (deprecated)
unique(...): Creates a Dataset from another Dataset, discarding duplicates.
