Update ref by assigning value to it.

ref, value, validate_shape=None, use_locking=None, name=None
)
Migrate to TF2
tf.compat.v1.assign is mostly compatible with eager execution and tf.function. However, argument 'validate_shape' will be ignored. To avoid shape validation, set 'shape' to tf.TensorShape(None) when constructing the variable:
import tensorflow as tf
a = tf.Variable([1], shape=tf.TensorShape(None))
tf.compat.v1.assign(a, [2,3])
To switch to the native TF2 style, one could use method 'assign' oftf.Variable:
How to Map Arguments
| TF1 Arg Name | TF2 Arg Name | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ref | self | In assign() method |
| value | value | In assign() method |
| validate_shape | Not supported | Specify shape in the constructor to replicate behavior |
| use_locking | use_locking | In assign() method |
| name | name | In assign() method |
| - | read_value | Set to True to replicate behavior (True is default) |

This operation outputs a Tensor that holds the new value of ref after the value has been assigned. This makes it easier to chain operations that need to use the reset value.
| Args | |
|---|---|
| ref | A mutable Tensor. Should be from a Variable node. May be uninitialized. |
| value | A Tensor. Must have the same shape and dtype as ref. The value to be assigned to the variable. |
| validate_shape | An optional bool. Defaults to True. If true, the operation will validate that the shape of 'value' matches the shape of the Tensor being assigned to. If false, 'ref' will take on the shape of 'value'. |
| use_locking | An optional bool. Defaults to True. If True, the assignment will be protected by a lock; otherwise the behavior is undefined, but may exhibit less contention. |
| name | A name for the operation (optional). |
| Returns |
|---|
| A Tensor that will hold the new value of ref after the assignment has completed. |
Before & After Usage Example
Before:
with tf.Graph().as_default():
with tf.compat.v1.Session() as sess:
a = tf.compat.v1.Variable(0, dtype=tf.int64)
sess.run(a.initializer)
update_op = tf.compat.v1.assign(a, 2)
res_a = sess.run(update_op)
res_a
2
After:
b = tf.Variable(0, dtype=tf.int64)
res_b = b.assign(2)
res_b.numpy()
2
