Python – tensorflow.gather()

TensorFlow is open-source Python library designed by Google to develop Machine Learning models and deep learning  neural networks. 

gather() is used to slice the input tensor based on the indices provided.

Syntax: tensorflow.gather( params, indices, validate_indices, axis, batch_dims, name)

Parameters: 

• params: It is a Tensor with rank greater than or equal to axis+1.
• indices: It is a Tensor of dtype int32 or int64. It’s value should be in range [0, params.shape[axis]).
• axis: It is a Tensor of dtype int32 or int64. It defines the axis from which indices should be gathered. Default value is 0 and it must be greater than or equal to batch_dims.
• batch_dims: It is an integer representing the number o batch dimension. It must be less than or equal to rank(indices).
• name: It defines the name for the operation.

Returns:

It returns a Tensor having same dtype as param.

Example 1:

Output:

data:  tf.Tensor([1 2 3 4 5 6], shape=(6,), dtype=int32)
indices:  tf.Tensor([0 1 2 1], shape=(4,), dtype=int32)
res:  tf.Tensor([1 2 3 2], shape=(4,), dtype=int32)

Example 2:

Output:

data:  tf.Tensor(
[[1 2]
 [3 4]
 [5 6]], shape=(3, 2), dtype=int32)
indices:  tf.Tensor([2 0 1], shape=(3,), dtype=int32)
res:  tf.Tensor(
[[5 6]
 [1 2]
 [3 4]], shape=(3, 2), dtype=int32)
