Python - tensorflow.dynamic_partition()

TensorFlow is open-source Python library designed by Google to develop Machine Learning models and deep learning  neural networks.

dynamic_partition()  is used to divide the data into number of partitions.

Syntax: tensorflow.dynamic_partition(data, partitions, num_partitions, name)

Parameters:

• data : It is the input tensor that need to be partitioned.
• partitions: It is Tensor of type int32 and it's data should be in the range [0, num_partitions).
• num_partitions: It defines the number of partitions.
• name(optional): It defines the name for the operation.

Returns:

It returns a list of tensor with num_partitions items. Each tensor in the list have same dtype as data.

Example 1: Dividing data into two partitions

# Importing the library
import tensorflow as tf

# Initializing the input
data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
num_partitions = 2
partitions = [0, 0, 1, 0, 1]

# Printing the input
print('data: ', data)
print('partitions:', partitions)
print('num_partitions:', num_partitions)

# Calculating result
x = tf.dynamic_partition(data, partitions, num_partitions)


# Printing the result
print('x[0]: ', x[0])
print('x[1]: ', x[1])

Output:

data:  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
partitions: [0, 0, 1, 0, 1]
num_partitions: 2
x[0]:  tf.Tensor([1 2 4], shape=(3, ), dtype=int32)
x[1]:  tf.Tensor([3 5], shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)

Example 2: Dividing into 3 Tensors

# Importing the library
import tensorflow as tf

# Initializing the input
data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
num_partitions = 3
partitions = [0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 2]

# Printing the input
print('data: ', data)
print('partitions:', partitions)
print('num_partitions:', num_partitions)

# Calculating result
x = tf.dynamic_partition(data, partitions, num_partitions)


# Printing the result
print('x[0]: ', x[0])
print('x[1]: ', x[1])
print('x[2]: ', x[2])

Output:

data:  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
partitions: [0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 2]
num_partitions: 3
x[0]:  tf.Tensor([1 4], shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)
x[1]:  tf.Tensor([3 5], shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)
x[2]:  tf.Tensor([2 6 7], shape=(3, ), dtype=int32)
