step_embedding_column: Creates embeddings columns

In rstudio/tfdatasets: Interface to 'TensorFlow' Datasets

Creates embeddings columns

Description

Use this step to create ambeddings columns from categorical columns.

Usage

step_embedding_column(
  spec,
  ...,
  dimension = function(x) {
     as.integer(x^0.25)
 },
  combiner = "mean",
  initializer = NULL,
  ckpt_to_load_from = NULL,
  tensor_name_in_ckpt = NULL,
  max_norm = NULL,
  trainable = TRUE
)

Arguments

spec	A feature specification created with feature_spec().
...	Comma separated list of variable names to apply the step. selectors can also be used.
dimension	An integer specifying dimension of the embedding, must be > 0. Can also be a function of the size of the vocabulary.
combiner	A string specifying how to reduce if there are multiple entries in a single row. Currently 'mean', 'sqrtn' and 'sum' are supported, with 'mean' the default. 'sqrtn' often achieves good accuracy, in particular with bag-of-words columns. Each of this can be thought as example level normalizations on the column. For more information, see tf.embedding_lookup_sparse.
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).
ckpt_to_load_from	String representing checkpoint name/pattern from which to restore column weights. Required if tensor_name_in_ckpt is not NULL.
tensor_name_in_ckpt	Name of the Tensor in ckpt_to_load_from from which to restore the column weights. Required if ckpt_to_load_from is not NULL.
max_norm	If not NULL, embedding values are l2-normalized to this value.
trainable	Whether or not the embedding is trainable. Default is TRUE.

Value

a FeatureSpec object.
