tf.VariableScope

Class VariableScope

Defined in tensorflow/python/ops/variable_scope.py.

See the guide: Variables > Sharing Variables

Variable scope object to carry defaults to provide to get_variable.

Many of the arguments we need for get_variable in a variable store are most easily handled with a context. This object is used for the defaults.

Attributes:

• name: name of the current scope, used as prefix in get_variable.
• initializer: default initializer passed to get_variable.
• regularizer: default regularizer passed to get_variable.
• reuse: Boolean, None, or tf.AUTO_REUSE, setting the reuse in get_variable. When eager execution is enabled this argument is always forced to be False.
• caching_device: string, callable, or None: the caching device passed to get_variable.
• partitioner: callable or None: the partitioner passed to get_variable.
• custom_getter: default custom getter passed to get_variable.
• name_scope: The name passed to tf.name_scope.
• dtype: default type passed to get_variable (defaults to DT_FLOAT).
• use_resource: if False, create a normal Variable; if True create an experimental ResourceVariable with well-defined semantics. Defaults to False (will later change to True). When eager execution is enabled this argument is always forced to be True.
• constraint: An optional projection function to be applied to the variable after being updated by an Optimizer (e.g. used to implement norm constraints or value constraints for layer weights). The function must take as input the unprojected Tensor representing the value of the variable and return the Tensor for the projected value (which must have the same shape). Constraints are not safe to use when doing asynchronous distributed training.
