tf.compat.v1.assign_sub | TensorFlow v2.16.1 (original) (raw)
Update ref by subtracting value from it.
tf.compat.v1.assign_sub(
ref, value, use_locking=None, name=None
)
Migrate to TF2
tf.compat.v1.assign_sub is mostly compatible with eager execution and tf.function.
To switch to the native TF2 style, one could use method 'assign_sub' oftf.Variable:
How to Map Arguments
| TF1 Arg Name | TF2 Arg Name | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ref | self | In assign_sub() method |
| value | value | In assign_sub() method |
| use_locking | use_locking | In assign_sub() method |
| name | name | In assign_sub() method |
| - | read_value | Set to True to replicate behavior (True is default) |
Before & After Usage Example
Before:
with tf.Graph().as_default():
with tf.compat.v1.Session() as sess:
a = tf.compat.v1.Variable(1, dtype=tf.int64)
sess.run(a.initializer)
update_op = tf.compat.v1.assign_sub(a, 1)
res_a = sess.run(update_op)
res_a
0
After:
b = tf.Variable(1, dtype=tf.int64)
res_b = b.assign_sub(1)
res_b.numpy()
0
Description
This operation outputs ref after the update is done. This makes it easier to chain operations that need to use the reset value. Unlike tf.math.subtract, this op does not broadcast. ref and valuemust have the same shape.
| Args | |
|---|---|
| ref | A mutable Tensor. Must be one of the following types: float32,float64, int64, int32, uint8, uint16, int16, int8,complex64, complex128, qint8, quint8, qint32, half. Should be from a Variable node. |
| value | A Tensor. Must have the same shape and dtype as ref. The value to be subtracted to the variable. |
| use_locking | An optional bool. Defaults to False. If True, the subtraction will be protected by a lock; otherwise the behavior is undefined, but may exhibit less contention. |
| name | A name for the operation (optional). |
| Returns |
|---|
| Same as ref. Returned as a convenience for operations that want to use the new value after the variable has been updated. |
