tf.ragged.boolean_mask(
    data, mask, name=None
)

Subword tokenizers

Returns a potentially ragged tensor that is formed by retaining the elements in data where the corresponding value in mask is True.

output[a1...aA, i, b1...bB] = data[a1...aA, j, b1...bB]
Where j is the ith True entry of mask[a1...aA].

Note that output preserves the mask dimensions a1...aA; this differs from tf.boolean_mask, which flattens those dimensions.

Args
data	A potentially ragged tensor.
mask	A potentially ragged boolean tensor. mask's shape must be a prefix of data's shape. rank(mask) must be known statically.
name	A name prefix for the returned tensor (optional).

Returns
A potentially ragged tensor that is formed by retaining the elements indata where the corresponding value in mask is True. rank(output) = rank(data). output.ragged_rank = max(data.ragged_rank, rank(mask) - 1).

Raises
ValueError	if rank(mask) is not known statically; or if mask.shape is not a prefix of data.shape.

Examples:

# Aliases for True & False so data and mask line up. T, F = (True, False)

tf.ragged.boolean_mask( # Mask a 2D Tensor. data=[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]], mask=[[T, F, T], [F, F, F], [T, F, F]]).to_list() [[1, 3], [], [7]]

tf.ragged.boolean_mask( # Mask a 2D RaggedTensor. tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4], [5, 6]]), tf.ragged.constant([[F, F, T], [F], [T, T]])).to_list() [[3], [], [5, 6]]

tf.ragged.boolean_mask( # Mask rows of a 2D RaggedTensor. tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4], [5, 6]]), tf.ragged.constant([True, False, True])).to_list() [[1, 2, 3], [5, 6]]
