A sequence of categorical terms where ids are set by hashing.
tf.feature_column.sequence_categorical_column_with_hash_bucket(
key, hash_bucket_size, dtype=tf.dtypes.string
)
Pass this to embedding_column
or indicator_column
to convert sequence
categorical data into dense representation for input to sequence NN, such as
RNN.
