See the guide: Constants, Sequences, and Random Values > Random Tensors

Outputs random values from a normal distribution.

Args:

• shape: A 1-D integer Tensor or Python array. The shape of the output tensor.
• mean: A 0-D Tensor or Python value of type dtype. The mean of the normal distribution.
• stddev: A 0-D Tensor or Python value of type dtype. The standard deviation of the normal distribution.
• dtype: The type of the output.
• seed: A Python integer. Used to create a random seed for the distribution. See tf.set_random_seed for behavior.
• name: A name for the operation (optional).

Returns:

A tensor of the specified shape filled with random normal values.
