tf.compat.v1.raw_ops.FixedUnigramCandidateSampler

tf.raw_ops.FixedUnigramCandidateSampler(
    true_classes, num_true, num_sampled, unique, range_max, vocab_file='',
    distortion=1, num_reserved_ids=0, num_shards=1, shard=0, unigrams=[], seed=0,
    seed2=0, name=None
)

A unigram sampler could use a fixed unigram distribution read from a file or passed in as an in-memory array instead of building up the distribution from data on the fly. There is also an option to skew the distribution by applying a distortion power to the weights.

The vocabulary file should be in CSV-like format, with the last field being the weight associated with the word.

For each batch, this op picks a single set of sampled candidate labels.

The advantages of sampling candidates per-batch are simplicity and the possibility of efficient dense matrix multiplication. The disadvantage is that the sampled candidates must be chosen independently of the context and of the true labels.

Args
true_classes	A Tensor of type int64. A batch_size * num_true matrix, in which each row contains the IDs of the num_true target_classes in the corresponding original label.
num_true	An int that is >= 1. Number of true labels per context.
num_sampled	An int that is >= 1. Number of candidates to randomly sample.
unique	A bool. If unique is true, we sample with rejection, so that all sampled candidates in a batch are unique. This requires some approximation to estimate the post-rejection sampling probabilities.
range_max	An int that is >= 1. The sampler will sample integers from the interval [0, range_max).
vocab_file	An optional string. Defaults to "". Each valid line in this file (which should have a CSV-like format) corresponds to a valid word ID. IDs are in sequential order, starting from num_reserved_ids. The last entry in each line is expected to be a value corresponding to the count or relative probability. Exactly one of vocab_file and unigrams needs to be passed to this op.
distortion	An optional float. Defaults to 1. The distortion is used to skew the unigram probability distribution. Each weight is first raised to the distortion's power before adding to the internal unigram distribution. As a result, distortion = 1.0 gives regular unigram sampling (as defined by the vocab file), and distortion = 0.0 gives a uniform distribution.
num_reserved_ids	An optional int. Defaults to 0. Optionally some reserved IDs can be added in the range [0, ..., num_reserved_ids) by the users. One use case is that a special unknown word token is used as ID 0. These IDs will have a sampling probability of 0.
num_shards	An optional int that is >= 1. Defaults to 1. A sampler can be used to sample from a subset of the original range in order to speed up the whole computation through parallelism. This parameter (together with 'shard') indicates the number of partitions that are being used in the overall computation.
shard	An optional int that is >= 0. Defaults to 0. A sampler can be used to sample from a subset of the original range in order to speed up the whole computation through parallelism. This parameter (together with 'num_shards') indicates the particular partition number of a sampler op, when partitioning is being used.
unigrams	An optional list of floats. Defaults to []. A list of unigram counts or probabilities, one per ID in sequential order. Exactly one of vocab_file and unigrams should be passed to this op.
seed	An optional int. Defaults to 0. If either seed or seed2 are set to be non-zero, the random number generator is seeded by the given seed. Otherwise, it is seeded by a random seed.
seed2	An optional int. Defaults to 0. An second seed to avoid seed collision.
name	A name for the operation (optional).

Returns
A tuple of Tensor objects (sampled_candidates, true_expected_count, sampled_expected_count).
sampled_candidates	A Tensor of type int64.
true_expected_count	A Tensor of type float32.
sampled_expected_count	A Tensor of type float32.
