Module: tf.compat.v1.data.experimental

Experimental API for building input pipelines.

This module contains experimental Dataset sources and transformations that can be used in conjunction with the tf.data.Dataset API. Note that the tf.data.experimental API is not subject to the same backwards compatibility guarantees as tf.data, but we will provide deprecation advice in advance of removing existing functionality.

See Importing Data for an overview.
