tf.contrib.seq2seq.BasicDecoder

Class BasicDecoder

Inherits From: Decoder

Defined in tensorflow/contrib/seq2seq/python/ops/basic_decoder.py.

Basic sampling decoder.

__init__

__init__(
    cell,
    helper,
    initial_state,
    output_layer=None
)

Initialize BasicDecoder.

Args:

• cell: An RNNCell instance.
• helper: A Helper instance.
• initial_state: A (possibly nested tuple of...) tensors and TensorArrays. The initial state of the RNNCell.
• output_layer: (Optional) An instance of tf.layers.Layer, i.e., tf.layers.Dense. Optional layer to apply to the RNN output prior to storing the result or sampling.

Raises:

• TypeError: if cell, helper or output_layer have an incorrect type.

Properties

batch_size

The batch size of input values.

output_dtype

A (possibly nested tuple of...) dtype[s].

output_size

A (possibly nested tuple of...) integer[s] or TensorShape object[s].

tracks_own_finished

Describes whether the Decoder keeps track of finished states.

Most decoders will emit a true/false finished value independently at each time step. In this case, the dynamic_decode function keeps track of which batch entries are already finished, and performs a logical OR to insert new batches to the finished set.

Some decoders, however, shuffle batches / beams between time steps and dynamic_decode will mix up the finished state across these entries because it does not track the reshuffle across time steps. In this case, it is up to the decoder to declare that it will keep track of its own finished state by setting this property to True.

Returns:

Python bool.

tf.contrib.seq2seq.BasicDecoder.initialize

initialize(name=None)

Initialize the decoder.

Args:

tf.contrib.seq2seq.BasicDecoder.step

step(
    time,
    inputs,

Perform a decoding step.

Args:

• time: scalar int32 tensor.

• state: A (structure of) state tensors and TensorArrays.
• name: Name scope for any created operations.

Returns:

(outputs, next_state, next_inputs, finished).
