tf.contrib.layers.joint_weighted_sum_from_feature_columns

A restricted linear prediction builder based on FeatureColumns.

As long as all feature columns are unweighted sparse columns this computes the prediction of a linear model which stores all weights in a single variable.

Args
columns_to_tensors A mapping from feature column to tensors. 'string' key means a base feature (not-transformed). It can have FeatureColumn as a key too. That means that FeatureColumn is already transformed by input pipeline. For example, inflow may have handled transformations.
feature_columns A set containing all the feature columns. All items in the set should be instances of classes derived from FeatureColumn.
num_outputs An integer specifying number of outputs. Default value is 1.
weight_collections List of graph collections to which weights are added.
trainable If True also add variables to the graph collection GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES (see tf.Variable).
scope Optional scope for variable_scope.
Returns
A tuple containing:
  • A Tensor which represents predictions of a linear model.
  • A list of Variables storing the weights.
  • A Variable which is used for bias.
Raises
ValueError if FeatureColumn cannot be used for linear predictions.
