See the guide: Building Graphs > Utility functions

Converts the given object to a Tensor or an IndexedSlices.

If value is an IndexedSlices or SparseTensor it is returned unmodified. Otherwise, it is converted to a Tensor using convert_to_tensor().

Args:

• value: An IndexedSlices, SparseTensor, or an object that can be consumed by convert_to_tensor().
• dtype: (Optional.) The required DType of the returned Tensor or IndexedSlices.
• name: (Optional.) A name to use if a new Tensor is created.

Returns:

An Tensor, IndexedSlices, or SparseTensor based on value.

Raises:

• ValueError: If dtype does not match the element type of value.
