tf.compat.v1.tpu.experimental.shared_embedding_columns

TPU version of tf.compat.v1.feature_column.shared_embedding_columns.

tf.compat.v1.tpu.experimental.shared_embedding_columns(
    categorical_columns, dimension, combiner='mean', initializer=None,
    shared_embedding_collection_name=None, max_sequence_lengths=None
)

Note that the interface for tf.tpu.experimental.shared_embedding_columns is different from that of tf.compat.v1.feature_column.shared_embedding_columns: The following arguments are NOT supported: ckpt_to_load_from, tensor_name_in_ckpt, max_norm and trainable.

Use this function in place of tf.compat.v1.feature_column.shared_embedding_columns` when you want to use the TPU to accelerate your embedding lookups via TPU embeddings.

column_a = tf.feature_column.categorical_column_with_identity(...)
column_b = tf.feature_column.categorical_column_with_identity(...)
tpu_columns = tf.tpu.experimental.shared_embedding_columns(
    [column_a, column_b], 10)
...
def model_fn(features):
  dense_feature = tf.keras.layers.DenseFeature(tpu_columns)
  embedded_feature = dense_feature(features)
  ...

estimator = tf.estimator.tpu.TPUEstimator(
    model_fn=model_fn,
    ...
    embedding_config_spec=tf.estimator.tpu.experimental.EmbeddingConfigSpec(
        column=tpu_columns,
        ...))

Args
`categorical_columns`	A list of categorical columns returned from `categorical_column_with_identity`, `weighted_categorical_column`, `categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file`, `categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list`, `sequence_categorical_column_with_identity`, `sequence_categorical_column_with_vocabulary_file`, `sequence_categorical_column_with_vocabulary_list`
`dimension`	An integer specifying dimension of the embedding, must be > 0.
`combiner`	A string specifying how to reduce if there are multiple entries in a single row for a non-sequence column. For more information, see `tf.feature_column.embedding_column`.
`initializer`	A variable initializer function to be used in embedding variable initialization. If not specified, defaults to `tf.truncated_normal_initializer` with mean `0.0` and standard deviation `1/sqrt(dimension)`.
`shared_embedding_collection_name`	Optional name of the collection where shared embedding weights are added. If not given, a reasonable name will be chosen based on the names of `categorical_columns`. This is also used in `variable_scope` when creating shared embedding weights.
`max_sequence_lengths`	An list of non-negative integers, either None or empty or the same length as the argument categorical_columns. Entries corresponding to non-sequence columns must be 0 and entries corresponding to sequence columns specify the max sequence length for the column. Any sequence shorter then this will be padded with 0 embeddings and any sequence longer will be truncated.

Returns
A list of `_TPUSharedEmbeddingColumnV2`.

Raises
`ValueError`	if `dimension` not > 0.
`ValueError`	if `initializer` is specified but not callable.
`ValueError`	if `max_sequence_lengths` is specified and not the same length as `categorical_columns`.
`ValueError`	if `max_sequence_lengths` is positive for a non sequence column or 0 for a sequence column.
