tf.contrib.layers.sparse_column_with_keys

Creates a _SparseColumn with keys.

Look up logic is as follows: lookup_id = index_of_feature_in_keys if feature in keys else default_value

Args
column_name A string defining sparse column name.
keys A list or tuple defining vocabulary. Must be castable to dtype.
default_value The value to use for out-of-vocabulary feature values. Default is -1.
combiner A string specifying how to reduce if the sparse column is multivalent. Currently "mean", "sqrtn" and "sum" are supported, with "sum" the default. "sqrtn" often achieves good accuracy, in particular with bag-of-words columns.
  • "sum": do not normalize features in the column
  • "mean": do l1 normalization on features in the column
  • "sqrtn": do l2 normalization on features in the column For more information: tf.embedding_lookup_sparse.
dtype Type of features. Only integer and string are supported.
Returns
A _SparseColumnKeys with keys configuration.
