tf.random.multinomial(
    logits, num_samples, seed=None, name=None, output_dtype=None
)

# samples has shape [1, 5], where each value is either 0 or 1 with equal
# probability.
samples = tf.random.categorical(tf.math.log([[0.5, 0.5]]), 5)

Args
`logits`	2-D Tensor with shape `[batch_size, num_classes]`. Each slice `[i, :]` represents the unnormalized log-probabilities for all classes.
`num_samples`	0-D. Number of independent samples to draw for each row slice.
`seed`	A Python integer. Used to create a random seed for the distribution. See `tf.compat.v1.set_random_seed` for behavior.
`name`	Optional name for the operation.
`output_dtype`	integer type to use for the output. Defaults to int64.

Returns
The drawn samples of shape `[batch_size, num_samples]`.
