    max_tokens=None,
    num_oov_indices=1,
    mask_token=None,
    oov_token=-1,
    vocabulary=None,
    vocabulary_dtype='int64',

This layer maps a set of arbitrary integer input tokens into indexed integer output via a table-based vocabulary lookup. The layer's output indices will be contiguously arranged up to the maximum vocab size, even if the input tokens are non-continguous or unbounded. The layer supports multiple options for encoding the output via output_mode, and has optional support for out-of-vocabulary (OOV) tokens and masking.

The vocabulary for the layer must be either supplied on construction or learned via adapt(). During adapt(), the layer will analyze a data set, determine the frequency of individual integer tokens, and create a vocabulary from them. If the vocabulary is capped in size, the most frequent tokens will be used to create the vocabulary and all others will be treated as OOV.

There are two possible output modes for the layer. When output_mode is "int", input integers are converted to their index in the vocabulary (an integer). When output_mode is "multi_hot", "count", or "tf_idf", input integers are encoded into an array where each dimension corresponds to an element in the vocabulary.

The vocabulary can optionally contain a mask token as well as an OOV token (which can optionally occupy multiple indices in the vocabulary, as set by num_oov_indices). The position of these tokens in the vocabulary is fixed. When output_mode is "int", the vocabulary will begin with the mask token at index 0, followed by OOV indices, followed by the rest of the vocabulary. When output_mode is "multi_hot", "count", or "tf_idf" the vocabulary will begin with OOV indices and instances of the mask token will be dropped.

For an overview and full list of preprocessing layers, see the preprocessing guide.

Args
`max_tokens`	Maximum size of the vocabulary for this layer. This should only be specified when adapting the vocabulary or when setting `pad_to_max_tokens=True`. If None, there is no cap on the size of the vocabulary. Note that this size includes the OOV and mask tokens. Defaults to `None`.
`num_oov_indices`	The number of out-of-vocabulary tokens to use. If this value is more than 1, OOV inputs are modulated to determine their OOV value. If this value is 0, OOV inputs will cause an error when calling the layer. Defaults to `1`.
`mask_token`	An integer token that represents masked inputs. When `output_mode` is `"int"`, the token is included in vocabulary and mapped to index 0. In other output modes, the token will not appear in the vocabulary and instances of the mask token in the input will be dropped. If set to None, no mask term will be added. Defaults to `None`.
`oov_token`	Only used when `invert` is True. The token to return for OOV indices. Defaults to `-1`.
`vocabulary`	Optional. Either an array of integers or a string path to a text file. If passing an array, can pass a tuple, list, 1D numpy array, or 1D tensor containing the integer vocbulary terms. If passing a file path, the file should contain one line per term in the vocabulary. If this argument is set, there is no need to `adapt()` the layer.
`vocabulary_dtype`	The dtype of the vocabulary terms, for example `"int64"` or `"int32"`. Defaults to `"int64"`.
`idf_weights`	Only valid when `output_mode` is `"tf_idf"`. A tuple, list, 1D numpy array, or 1D tensor or the same length as the vocabulary, containing the floating point inverse document frequency weights, which will be multiplied by per sample term counts for the final `tf_idf` weight. If the `vocabulary` argument is set, and `output_mode` is `"tf_idf"`, this argument must be supplied.
`invert`	Only valid when `output_mode` is `"int"`. If True, this layer will map indices to vocabulary items instead of mapping vocabulary items to indices. Defaults to `False`.
`output_mode`	Specification for the output of the layer. Values can be `"int"`, `"one_hot"`, `"multi_hot"`, `"count"`, or `"tf_idf"` configuring the layer as follows: `"int"`: Return the vocabulary indices of the input tokens. `"one_hot"`: Encodes each individual element in the input into an array the same size as the vocabulary, containing a 1 at the element index. If the last dimension is size 1, will encode on that dimension. If the last dimension is not size 1, will append a new dimension for the encoded output. `"multi_hot"`: Encodes each sample in the input into a single array the same size as the vocabulary, containing a 1 for each vocabulary term present in the sample. Treats the last dimension as the sample dimension, if input shape is (..., sample_length), output shape will be (..., num_tokens). `"count"`: As `"multi_hot"`, but the int array contains a count of the number of times the token at that index appeared in the sample. `"tf_idf"`: As `"multi_hot"`, but the TF-IDF algorithm is applied to find the value in each token slot. For `"int"` output, any shape of input and output is supported. For all other output modes, currently only output up to rank 2 is supported. Defaults to `"int"`.
`pad_to_max_tokens`	Only applicable when `output_mode` is `"multi_hot"`, `"count"`, or `"tf_idf"`. If True, the output will have its feature axis padded to `max_tokens` even if the number of unique tokens in the vocabulary is less than max_tokens, resulting in a tensor of shape [batch_size, max_tokens] regardless of vocabulary size. Defaults to False.
`sparse`	Boolean. Only applicable when `output_mode` is `"multi_hot"`, `"count"`, or `"tf_idf"`. If True, returns a `SparseTensor` instead of a dense `Tensor`. Defaults to `False`.

Examples:

Creating a lookup layer with a known vocabulary

This example creates a lookup layer with a pre-existing vocabulary.

vocab = [12, 36, 1138, 42]
data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42], [42, 1000, 36]])  # Note OOV tokens
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(vocabulary=vocab)
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3), dtype=int64, numpy=
array([[1, 3, 4],
       [4, 0, 2]])>

Creating a lookup layer with an adapted vocabulary

This example creates a lookup layer and generates the vocabulary by analyzing the dataset.

data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42], [42, 1000, 36]])
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup()
layer.adapt(data)
layer.get_vocabulary()
[-1, 42, 1138, 1000, 36, 12]

Note that the OOV token -1 have been added to the vocabulary. The remaining tokens are sorted by frequency (42, which has 2 occurrences, is first) then by inverse sort order.

data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42], [42, 1000, 36]])
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup()
layer.adapt(data)
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3), dtype=int64, numpy=
array([[5, 2, 1],
       [1, 3, 4]])>

Lookups with multiple OOV indices

This example demonstrates how to use a lookup layer with multiple OOV indices. When a layer is created with more than one OOV index, any OOV tokens are hashed into the number of OOV buckets, distributing OOV tokens in a deterministic fashion across the set.

vocab = [12, 36, 1138, 42]
data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42], [37, 1000, 36]])
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(
    vocabulary=vocab, num_oov_indices=2)
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3), dtype=int64, numpy=
array([[2, 4, 5],
       [1, 0, 3]])>

Note that the output for OOV token 37 is 1, while the output for OOV token 1000 is 0. The in-vocab terms have their output index increased by 1 from earlier examples (12 maps to 2, etc) in order to make space for the extra OOV token.

One-hot output

Configure the layer with output_mode='one_hot'. Note that the first num_oov_indices dimensions in the ont_hot encoding represent OOV values.

vocab = [12, 36, 1138, 42]
data = tf.constant([12, 36, 1138, 42, 7]) # Note OOV tokens
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(
    vocabulary=vocab, output_mode='one_hot')
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(5, 5), dtype=float32, numpy=
  array([[0., 1., 0., 0., 0.],
         [0., 0., 1., 0., 0.],
         [0., 0., 0., 1., 0.],
         [0., 0., 0., 0., 1.],
         [1., 0., 0., 0., 0.]], dtype=float32)>

Multi-hot output

Configure the layer with output_mode='multi_hot'. Note that the first num_oov_indices dimensions in the multi_hot encoding represent OOV tokens

vocab = [12, 36, 1138, 42]
data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42, 42],
                    [42, 7, 36, 7]]) # Note OOV tokens
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(
    vocabulary=vocab, output_mode='multi_hot')
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 5), dtype=float32, numpy=
  array([[0., 1., 0., 1., 1.],
         [1., 0., 1., 0., 1.]], dtype=float32)>

Token count output

Configure the layer with output_mode='count'. As with multi_hot output, the first num_oov_indices dimensions in the output represent OOV tokens.

vocab = [12, 36, 1138, 42]
data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42, 42],
                    [42, 7, 36, 7]]) # Note OOV tokens
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(
    vocabulary=vocab, output_mode='count')
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 5), dtype=float32, numpy=
  array([[0., 1., 0., 1., 2.],
         [2., 0., 1., 0., 1.]], dtype=float32)>

TF-IDF output

Configure the layer with output_mode='tf_idf'. As with multi_hot output, the first num_oov_indices dimensions in the output represent OOV tokens.

Each token bin will output token_count * idf_weight, where the idf weights are the inverse document frequency weights per token. These should be provided along with the vocabulary. Note that the idf_weight for OOV tokens will default to the average of all idf weights passed in.

vocab = [12, 36, 1138, 42]
idf_weights = [0.25, 0.75, 0.6, 0.4]
data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42, 42],
                    [42, 7, 36, 7]]) # Note OOV tokens
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(
    output_mode='tf_idf', vocabulary=vocab, idf_weights=idf_weights)
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 5), dtype=float32, numpy=
  array([[0.  , 0.25, 0.  , 0.6 , 0.8 ],
         [1.0 , 0.  , 0.75, 0.  , 0.4 ]], dtype=float32)>

To specify the idf weights for oov tokens, you will need to pass the entire vocabularly including the leading oov token.

vocab = [-1, 12, 36, 1138, 42]
idf_weights = [0.9, 0.25, 0.75, 0.6, 0.4]
data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42, 42],
                    [42, 7, 36, 7]]) # Note OOV tokens
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(
    output_mode='tf_idf', vocabulary=vocab, idf_weights=idf_weights)
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 5), dtype=float32, numpy=
  array([[0.  , 0.25, 0.  , 0.6 , 0.8 ],
         [1.8 , 0.  , 0.75, 0.  , 0.4 ]], dtype=float32)>

When adapting the layer in tf_idf mode, each input sample will be considered a document, and idf weight per token will be calculated as log(1 + num_documents / (1 + token_document_count)).

Inverse lookup

This example demonstrates how to map indices to tokens using this layer. (You can also use adapt() with inverse=True, but for simplicity we'll pass the vocab in this example.)

vocab = [12, 36, 1138, 42]
data = tf.constant([[1, 3, 4], [4, 0, 2]])
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(vocabulary=vocab, invert=True)
layer(data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3), dtype=int64, numpy=
array([[  12, 1138,   42],
       [  42,   -1,   36]])>

Note that the first index correspond to the oov token by default.

Forward and inverse lookup pairs

This example demonstrates how to use the vocabulary of a standard lookup layer to create an inverse lookup layer.

vocab = [12, 36, 1138, 42]
data = tf.constant([[12, 1138, 42], [42, 1000, 36]])
layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(vocabulary=vocab)
i_layer = tf.keras.layers.IntegerLookup(
    vocabulary=layer.get_vocabulary(), invert=True)
int_data = layer(data)
i_layer(int_data)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3), dtype=int64, numpy=
array([[  12, 1138,   42],
       [  42,   -1,   36]])>

In this example, the input token 1000 resulted in an output of -1, since 1000 was not in the vocabulary - it got represented as an OOV, and all OOV tokens are returned as -1 in the inverse layer. Also, note that for the inverse to work, you must have already set the forward layer vocabulary either directly or via adapt() before calling get_vocabulary().

Attributes
`is_adapted`	Whether the layer has been fit to data already.

Methods

`adapt`

View source

adapt(
    data, batch_size=None, steps=None
)

Computes a vocabulary of interger terms from tokens in a dataset.

Calling adapt() on an IntegerLookup layer is an alternative to passing in a precomputed vocabulary on construction via the vocabulary argument. An IntegerLookup layer should always be either adapted over a dataset or supplied with a vocabulary.

During adapt(), the layer will build a vocabulary of all integer tokens seen in the dataset, sorted by occurrence count, with ties broken by sort order of the tokens (high to low). At the end of adapt(), if max_tokens is set, the vocabulary wil be truncated to max_tokens size. For example, adapting a layer with max_tokens=1000 will compute the 1000 most frequent tokens occurring in the input dataset. If output_mode='tf-idf', adapt() will also learn the document frequencies of each token in the input dataset.

In order to make StringLookup efficient in any distribution context, the vocabulary is kept static with respect to any compiled tf.Graphs that call the layer. As a consequence, if the layer is adapted a second time, any models using the layer should be re-compiled. For more information see tf.keras.layers.experimental.preprocessing.PreprocessingLayer.adapt.

adapt() is meant only as a single machine utility to compute layer state. To analyze a dataset that cannot fit on a single machine, see Tensorflow Transform for a multi-machine, map-reduce solution.

Arguments
`data`	The data to train on. It can be passed either as a `tf.data.Dataset`, or as a numpy array.
`batch_size`	Integer or `None`. Number of samples per state update. If unspecified, `batch_size` will default to 32. Do not specify the `batch_size` if your data is in the form of datasets, generators, or `keras.utils.Sequence` instances (since they generate batches).
`steps`	Integer or `None`. Total number of steps (batches of samples) When training with input tensors such as TensorFlow data tensors, the default `None` is equal to the number of samples in your dataset divided by the batch size, or 1 if that cannot be determined. If x is a `tf.data` dataset, and 'steps' is None, the epoch will run until the input dataset is exhausted. When passing an infinitely repeating dataset, you must specify the `steps` argument. This argument is not supported with array inputs.

`compile`

View source

compile(
    run_eagerly=None, steps_per_execution=None
)

Configures the layer for adapt.

Arguments
`run_eagerly`	Bool. Defaults to `False`. If `True`, this `Model`'s logic will not be wrapped in a `tf.function`. Recommended to leave this as `None` unless your `Model` cannot be run inside a `tf.function`.
`steps_per_execution`	Int. Defaults to 1. The number of batches to run during each `tf.function` call. Running multiple batches inside a single `tf.function` call can greatly improve performance on TPUs or small models with a large Python overhead.

`get_vocabulary`

View source

get_vocabulary(
    include_special_tokens=True
)

Returns the current vocabulary of the layer.

Args
`include_special_tokens`	If True, the returned vocabulary will include mask and OOV tokens, and a term's index in the vocabulary will equal the term's index when calling the layer. If False, the returned vocabulary will not include any mask or OOV tokens.

`load_assets`

View source

load_assets(
    dir_path
)

`reset_state`

View source

reset_state()

Resets the statistics of the preprocessing layer.

`save_assets`

View source

save_assets(
    dir_path
)

`set_vocabulary`

View source

set_vocabulary(
    vocabulary, idf_weights=None
)

Sets vocabulary (and optionally document frequency) for this layer.

This method sets the vocabulary and idf weights for this layer directly, instead of analyzing a dataset through adapt. It should be used whenever the vocab (and optionally document frequency) information is already known. If vocabulary data is already present in the layer, this method will replace it.

Args
`vocabulary`	Either an array or a string path to a text file. If passing an array, can pass a tuple, list, 1D numpy array, or 1D tensor containing the vocbulary terms. If passing a file path, the file should contain one line per term in the vocabulary.
`idf_weights`	A tuple, list, 1D numpy array, or 1D tensor of inverse document frequency weights with equal length to vocabulary. Must be set if `output_mode` is `"tf_idf"`. Should not be set otherwise.

Raises
`ValueError`	If there are too many inputs, the inputs do not match, or input data is missing.
`RuntimeError`	If the vocabulary cannot be set when this function is called. This happens when `"multi_hot"`, `"count"`, and `"tf_idf"` modes, if `pad_to_max_tokens` is False and the layer itself has already been called.
`RuntimeError`	If a tensor vocabulary is passed outside of eager execution.

`update_state`

View source

update_state(
    data
)

Accumulates statistics for the preprocessing layer.

Arguments
`data`	A mini-batch of inputs to the layer.

`vocab_size`

View source

vocab_size()

`vocabulary_size`

View source

vocabulary_size()

Gets the current size of the layer's vocabulary.

Returns
The integer size of the vocabulary, including optional mask and oov indices.
