Layer to be used as an entry point into a Network (a graph of layers).
Inherits From: Layer
tf.keras.layers.InputLayer(
input_shape=None, batch_size=None, dtype=None, input_tensor=None, sparse=False,
name=None, ragged=False, **kwargs
)
It can either wrap an existing tensor (pass an input_tensor
argument)
or create a placeholder tensor (pass arguments input_shape
, and
optionally, dtype
).
It is generally recommend to use the functional layer API via Input
,
(which creates an InputLayer
) without directly using InputLayer
.
This class can create placeholders for tf.Tensors, tf.SparseTensors, and tf.RaggedTensors by choosing 'sparse=True' or 'ragged=True'.
Arguments | |
---|---|
input_shape
|
Shape tuple (not including the batch axis), or TensorShape
instance (not including the batch axis).
|
batch_size
|
Optional input batch size (integer or None). |
dtype
|
Datatype of the input. |
input_tensor
|
Optional tensor to use as layer input instead of creating a placeholder. |
sparse
|
Boolean, whether the placeholder created is meant to be sparse. |
ragged
|
Boolean, whether the placeholder created is meant to be ragged. In this case, values of 'None' in the 'shape' argument represent ragged dimensions. For more information about RaggedTensors, see https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/ragged_tensors |
name
|
Name of the layer (string). |
