tf.compat.v1.raw_ops.WindowDataset

tf.raw_ops.WindowDataset(
    input_dataset, size, shift, stride, drop_remainder, output_types, output_shapes,
    name=None
)

A "window" is a finite dataset of flat elements of size size (or possibly fewer if there are not enough input elements to fill the window and drop_remainder evaluates to false).

The shift argument determines the number of input elements by which the window moves on each iteration. The first element in the kth window will be element

1 + (k-1) * shift

of the input dataset. In particular, the first element of the first window will always be the first element of the input dataset.

If the stride parameter is greater than 1, then each window will skip (stride - 1) input elements between each element that appears in the window. Output windows will still contain size elements regardless of the value of stride.

The stride argument determines the stride of the input elements, and the shift argument determines the shift of the window.

For example, letting {...} to represent a Dataset:

• tf.data.Dataset.range(7).window(2) produces { {0, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5}, {6} }
• tf.data.Dataset.range(7).window(3, 2, 1, True) produces { {0, 1, 2}, {2, 3, 4}, {4, 5, 6} }
• tf.data.Dataset.range(7).window(3, 1, 2, True) produces { {0, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 5}, {2, 4, 6} }

Note that when the window transformation is applied to a dataset of nested elements, it produces a dataset of nested windows.

For example:

• tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((range(4), range(4))).window(2) produces {({0, 1}, {0, 1}), ({2, 3}, {2, 3})}
• tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices({"a": range(4)}).window(2) produces { {"a": {0, 1} }, {"a": {2, 3} } }

Args
input_dataset	A Tensor of type variant.
size	A Tensor of type int64. An integer scalar, representing the number of elements of the input dataset to combine into a window. Must be positive.
shift	A Tensor of type int64. An integer scalar, representing the number of input elements by which the window moves in each iteration. Defaults to size. Must be positive.
stride	A Tensor of type int64. An integer scalar, representing the stride of the input elements in the sliding window. Must be positive. The default value of 1 means "retain every input element".
drop_remainder	A Tensor of type bool. A Boolean scalar, representing whether the last window should be dropped if its size is smaller than window_size.
output_types	A list of tf.DTypes that has length >= 1.
output_shapes	A list of shapes (each a tf.TensorShape or list of ints) that has length >= 1.
name	A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A Tensor of type variant.
