tf.contrib.layers.flatten(
    inputs,
    outputs_collections=None,
    scope=None
)

Defined in tensorflow/contrib/layers/python/layers/layers.py.

Flattens the input while maintaining the batch_size.

Assumes that the first dimension represents the batch.

Args:

• inputs: A tensor of size [batch_size, ...].
• outputs_collections: Collection to add the outputs.
• scope: Optional scope for name_scope.

Returns:

A flattened tensor with shape [batch_size, k].

Raises:

• ValueError: If inputs rank is unknown or less than 2.
