tf.compat.v1.scatter_nd_add

tf.scatter_nd_add(
    ref, indices, updates, use_locking=False, name=None
)

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 Kth 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 add 4 scattered elements to a rank-1 tensor to 8 elements. In Python, that addition 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])
add = tf.compat.v1.scatter_nd_add(ref, indices, updates)
with tf.compat.v1.Session() as sess:
  print sess.run(add)

The resulting update to ref would look like this:

[1, 13, 3, 14, 14, 6, 7, 20]

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

Args
ref	A mutable Tensor. Must be one of the following types: float32, float64, int32, uint8, int16, int8, complex64, int64, qint8, quint8, qint32, bfloat16, uint16, complex128, half, uint32, uint64. 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.
use_locking	An optional bool. Defaults to False. If True, the assignment will be protected by a lock; otherwise the behavior is undefined, but may exhibit less contention.
name	A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A mutable Tensor. Has the same type as ref.
