tf.compat.v1.reduce_logsumexp

Computes log(sum(exp(elements across dimensions of a tensor))). (deprecated arguments)

Reduces input_tensor along the dimensions given in axis. Unless keepdims is true, the rank of the tensor is reduced by 1 for each of the entries in axis, which must be unique. 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(sum(exp(input))). It avoids overflows caused by taking the exp of large inputs and underflows caused by taking the log of small inputs.

For example:

x = tf.constant([[0., 0., 0.], [0., 0., 0.]])
tf.reduce_logsumexp(x)  # log(6)
tf.reduce_logsumexp(x, 0)  # [log(2), log(2), log(2)]
tf.reduce_logsumexp(x, 1)  # [log(3), log(3)]
tf.reduce_logsumexp(x, 1, keepdims=True)  # [[log(3)], [log(3)]]
tf.reduce_logsumexp(x, [0, 1])  # log(6)

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 If true, retains reduced dimensions with length 1.
name A name for the operation (optional).
reduction_indices The old (deprecated) name for axis.
keep_dims Deprecated alias for keepdims.

The reduced tensor.
