Tensorflow: Using tf.slice to split the input

Question

I\'m trying to split my input layer into different sized parts. I\'m trying to use tf.slice to do that but it\'s not working.

Some sample code:

import te         


        

Answer 1

For me, I tried another example to let me understand the slice function

input = [
    [[11, 12, 13], [14, 15, 16]],
    [[21, 22, 23], [24, 25, 26]],
    [[31, 32, 33], [34, 35, 36]],
    [[41, 42, 43], [44, 45, 46]],
    [[51, 52, 53], [54, 55, 56]],
    ]
s1 = tf.slice(input, [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 3])
s2 = tf.slice(input, [2, 0, 0], [3, 1, 2])
s3 = tf.slice(input, [0, 0, 1], [4, 1, 1])
s4 = tf.slice(input, [0, 0, 1], [1, 0, 1])
s5 = tf.slice(input, [2, 0, 2], [-1, -1, -1]) # negative value means the function cutting tersors automatically
tf.global_variables_initializer()
with tf.Session() as s:
    print s.run(s1)
    print s.run(s2)
    print s.run(s3)
    print s.run(s4)

It outputs:

[[[21 22 23]]]

[[[31 32]]
 [[41 42]]
 [[51 52]]]

[[[12]]
 [[22]]
 [[32]]
 [[42]]]

[]

[[[33]
  [36]]
 [[43]
  [46]]
 [[53]
  [56]]]

The parameter begin indicates which element you are going to start to cut. The size parameter means how many element you want on that dimension.
