tf.raw_ops.SparseCross

Generates sparse cross from a list of sparse and dense tensors.

The op takes two lists, one of 2D SparseTensor and one of 2D Tensor, each representing features of one feature column. It outputs a 2D SparseTensor with the batchwise crosses of these features.

For example, if the inputs are

inputs[0]: SparseTensor with shape = [2, 2]
[0, 0]: "a"
[1, 0]: "b"
[1, 1]: "c"

inputs[1]: SparseTensor with shape = [2, 1]
[0, 0]: "d"
[1, 0]: "e"

inputs[2]: Tensor [["f"], ["g"]]

then the output will be

shape = [2, 2]
[0, 0]: "a_X_d_X_f"
[1, 0]: "b_X_e_X_g"
[1, 1]: "c_X_e_X_g"

if hashed_output=true then the output will be

shape = [2, 2]
[0, 0]: FingerprintCat64(
            Fingerprint64("f"), FingerprintCat64(
                Fingerprint64("d"), Fingerprint64("a")))
[1, 0]: FingerprintCat64(
            Fingerprint64("g"), FingerprintCat64(
                Fingerprint64("e"), Fingerprint64("b")))
[1, 1]: FingerprintCat64(
            Fingerprint64("g"), FingerprintCat64(
                Fingerprint64("e"), Fingerprint64("c")))
Args
indices A list of Tensor objects with type int64. 2-D. Indices of each input SparseTensor.
values A list of Tensor objects with types from: int64, string. 1-D. values of each SparseTensor.
shapes A list with the same length as indices of Tensor objects with type int64. 1-D. Shapes of each SparseTensor.
dense_inputs A list of Tensor objects with types from: int64, string. 2-D. Columns represented by dense Tensor.
hashed_output A bool. If true, returns the hash of the cross instead of the string. This will allow us avoiding string manipulations.
num_buckets An int that is >= 0. It is used if hashed_output is true. output = hashed_value%num_buckets if num_buckets > 0 else hashed_value.
hash_key An int. Specify the hash_key that will be used by the FingerprintCat64 function to combine the crosses fingerprints.
out_type A tf.DType from: tf.int64, tf.string.
internal_type A tf.DType from: tf.int64, tf.string.
name A name for the operation (optional).
Returns
A tuple of Tensor objects (output_indices, output_values, output_shape).
output_indices A Tensor of type int64.
output_values A Tensor of type out_type.
output_shape A Tensor of type int64.
