ScatterNdUpdate

public final class ScatterNdUpdate

Applies sparse `updates` to individual values or slices within a given

variable according to `indices`.

`ref` is a `Tensor` with rank `P` and `indices` is a `Tensor` of rank `Q`.

`indices` must be integer tensor, containing indices into `ref`. It must be shape \\([d_0, ..., d_{Q-2}, K]\\) where `0 < K <= P`.

The innermost dimension of `indices` (with length `K`) corresponds to indices into elements (if `K = P`) or slices (if `K < P`) along the `K`th dimension of `ref`.

`updates` is `Tensor` of rank `Q-1+P-K` with shape:

$$[d_0, ..., d_{Q-2}, ref.shape[K], ..., ref.shape[P-1]].$$

For example, say we want to update 4 scattered elements to a rank-1 tensor to 8 elements. In Python, that update would look like this:

ref = tf.Variable([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8])
     indices = tf.constant([[4], [3], [1] ,[7]])
     updates = tf.constant([9, 10, 11, 12])
     update = tf.scatter_nd_update(ref, indices, updates)
     with tf.Session() as sess:
       print sess.run(update)
 
The resulting update to ref would look like this:

[1, 11, 3, 10, 9, 6, 7, 12]

See `tf.scatter_nd` for more details about how to make updates to slices.

See also `tf.scatter_update` and `tf.batch_scatter_update`.

Inherited Methods

Public Methods

public Output <T> asOutput ()

Returns the symbolic handle of a tensor.

Inputs to TensorFlow operations are outputs of another TensorFlow operation. This method is used to obtain a symbolic handle that represents the computation of the input.

public static ScatterNdUpdate <T> create ( Scope scope, Operand <T> ref, Operand <U> indices, Operand <T> updates, Options... options)

Factory method to create a class wrapping a new ScatterNdUpdate operation.

Parameters
scope current scope
ref A mutable Tensor. Should be from a Variable node.
indices A Tensor. Must be one of the following types: int32, int64. A tensor of indices into ref.
updates A Tensor. Must have the same type as ref. A tensor of updated values to add to ref.
options carries optional attributes values
Returns
  • a new instance of ScatterNdUpdate

public Output <T> outputRef ()

Same as ref. Returned as a convenience for operations that want to use the updated values after the update is done.

public static ScatterNdUpdate.Options useLocking (Boolean useLocking)

Parameters
useLocking An optional bool. Defaults to True. If True, the assignment will be protected by a lock; otherwise the behavior is undefined, but may exhibit less contention.
