tf.lookup.StaticVocabularyTable

View source on GitHub

String to Id table that assigns out-of-vocabulary keys to hash buckets.

tf.lookup.StaticVocabularyTable(
    initializer, num_oov_buckets, lookup_key_dtype=None, name=None
)

For example, if an instance of StaticVocabularyTable is initialized with a string-to-id initializer that maps:

init = tf.lookup.KeyValueTensorInitializer(
    keys=tf.constant(['emerson', 'lake', 'palmer']),
    values=tf.constant([0, 1, 2], dtype=tf.int64))
table = tf.lookup.StaticVocabularyTable(
   init,
   num_oov_buckets=5)

The Vocabulary object will performs the following mapping:

• emerson -> 0
• lake -> 1
• palmer -> 2
• <other term> -> bucket_id, where bucket_id will be between 3 and 3 + num_oov_buckets - 1 = 7, calculated by: hash(<term>) % num_oov_buckets + vocab_size

If input_tensor is:

input_tensor = tf.constant(["emerson", "lake", "palmer",
                            "king", "crimson"])
table[input_tensor].numpy()
array([0, 1, 2, 6, 7])

If initializer is None, only out-of-vocabulary buckets are used.

Example usage:

num_oov_buckets = 3
vocab = ["emerson", "lake", "palmer", "crimnson"]
import tempfile
f = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False)
f.write('\n'.join(vocab).encode('utf-8'))
f.close()

init = tf.lookup.TextFileInitializer(
    f.name,
    key_dtype=tf.string, key_index=tf.lookup.TextFileIndex.WHOLE_LINE,
    value_dtype=tf.int64, value_index=tf.lookup.TextFileIndex.LINE_NUMBER)
table = tf.lookup.StaticVocabularyTable(init, num_oov_buckets)
table.lookup(tf.constant(["palmer", "crimnson" , "king",
                          "tarkus", "black", "moon"])).numpy()
array([2, 3, 5, 6, 6, 4])

The hash function used for generating out-of-vocabulary buckets ID is Fingerprint64.

Args
initializer	A TableInitializerBase object that contains the data used to initialize the table. If None, then we only use out-of-vocab buckets.
num_oov_buckets	Number of buckets to use for out-of-vocabulary keys. Must be greater than zero.
lookup_key_dtype	Data type of keys passed to lookup. Defaults to initializer.key_dtype if initializer is specified, otherwise tf.string. Must be string or integer, and must be castable to initializer.key_dtype.
name	A name for the operation (optional).

Raises
ValueError	when num_oov_buckets is not positive.
TypeError	when lookup_key_dtype or initializer.key_dtype are not integer or string. Also when initializer.value_dtype != int64.

Attributes
key_dtype	The table key dtype.
name	The name of the table.
resource_handle	Returns the resource handle associated with this Resource.
value_dtype	The table value dtype.

Methods

lookup

View source

lookup(
    keys, name=None
)

Looks up keys in the table, outputs the corresponding values.

It assigns out-of-vocabulary keys to buckets based in their hashes.

Args
keys	Keys to look up. May be either a SparseTensor or dense Tensor.
name	Optional name for the op.

Returns
A SparseTensor if keys are sparse, a RaggedTensor if keys are ragged, otherwise a dense Tensor.

Raises
TypeError	when keys doesn't match the table key data type.

size

size(
    name=None

Compute the number of elements in this table.

__getitem__

__getitem__(
    keys
)

Looks up keys in a table, outputs the corresponding values.
