OnehotCategorical

class tfsnippet.OnehotCategorical(logits, dtype=None)

Bases: tfsnippet.distributions.wrapper.ZhuSuanDistribution

One-hot multivariate Categorical distribution.

A batch of samples is an N-D Tensor with dtype values in range [0, n_categories).

Attributes Summary

batch_shape Get the batch shape of the samples.
dtype Get the data type of samples.
is_continuous Whether or not the distribution is continuous?

n_categories The number of categories in the distribution.
value_shape Get the value shape of an individual sample.

Methods Summary

get_batch_shape() Get the static batch shape of the samples.
get_value_shape() Get the static value shape of an individual sample.
log_prob(given[, group_ndims, name]) Compute the log-densities of x against the distribution.
prob(given[, group_ndims, name]) Compute the densities of x against the distribution.
sample([n_samples, is_reparameterized, …]) Generate samples from the distribution.

Attributes Documentation

batch_shape

Get the batch shape of the samples.

Returns:The batch shape as tensor.
Return type:tf.Tensor
dtype

Get the data type of samples.

Returns:Data type of the samples.
Return type:tf.DType
is_continuous

Whether or not the distribution is continuous?

Returns:A boolean indicating whether it is continuous.
Return type:bool
is_reparameterized

Whether or not the distribution is re-parameterized?

The re-parameterization trick is proposed in “Auto-Encoding Variational Bayes” (Kingma, D.P. and Welling), allowing the gradients to be propagated back along the samples. Note that the re-parameterization can be disabled by specifying is_reparameterized = False as an argument of sample().

Returns:A boolean indicating whether it is re-parameterized.
Return type:bool
logits

The un-normalized log probabilities.

n_categories

The number of categories in the distribution.

value_shape

Get the value shape of an individual sample.

Returns:The value shape as tensor.
Return type:tf.Tensor

Methods Documentation

get_batch_shape()

Get the static batch shape of the samples.

Returns:The batch shape.
Return type:tf.TensorShape
get_value_shape()

Get the static value shape of an individual sample.

Returns:The static value shape.
Return type:tf.TensorShape
log_prob(given, group_ndims=0, name=None)

Compute the log-densities of x against the distribution.

Parameters:
  • given (Tensor) – The samples to be tested.
  • group_ndims (int or tf.Tensor) – If specified, the last group_ndims dimensions of the log-densities will be summed up. (default 0)
  • name – TensorFlow name scope of the graph nodes. (default “log_prob”).
Returns:

The log-densities of given.

Return type:

tf.Tensor

prob(given, group_ndims=0, name=None)

Compute the densities of x against the distribution.

Parameters:
  • given (Tensor) – The samples to be tested.
  • group_ndims (int or tf.Tensor) – If specified, the last group_ndims dimensions of the log-densities will be summed up. (default 0)
  • name – TensorFlow name scope of the graph nodes. (default “prob”).
Returns:

The densities of given.

Return type:

tf.Tensor

sample(n_samples=None, is_reparameterized=None, group_ndims=0, compute_density=None, name=None)

Generate samples from the distribution.

Parameters:
  • n_samples (int or tf.Tensor or None) – A 0-D int32 Tensor or None. How many independent samples to draw from the distribution. The samples will have shape [n_samples] + batch_shape + value_shape, or batch_shape + value_shape if n_samples is None.
  • group_ndims (int or tf.Tensor) – Number of dimensions at the end of [n_samples] + batch_shape to be considered as events group. This will effect the behavior of log_prob() and prob(). (default 0)
  • is_reparameterized (bool) – If True, raises RuntimeError if the distribution is not re-parameterized. If False, disable re-parameterization even if the distribution is re-parameterized. (default None, following the setting of distribution)
  • compute_density (bool) – Whether or not to immediately compute the log-density for the samples? (default None, determine by the distribution class itself)
  • name – TensorFlow name scope of the graph nodes. (default “sample”).
Returns:

The samples as

StochasticTensor.

Return type:

tfsnippet.stochastic.StochasticTensor
