tf.compat.v1.losses.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy
Cross-entropy loss using tf.nn.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits.
tf.compat.v1.losses.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy(
    labels, logits, weights=1.0, scope=None, loss_collection=tf.GraphKeys.LOSSES,
    reduction=Reduction.SUM_BY_NONZERO_WEIGHTS
)
  weights acts as a coefficient for the loss. If a scalar is provided, then the loss is simply scaled by the given value. If weights is a tensor of shape [batch_size], then the loss weights apply to each corresponding sample.
| Args | |
|---|---|
labels | 
      Tensor of shape [d_0, d_1, ..., d_{r-1}] (where r is rank of labels and result) and dtype int32 or int64. Each entry in labels must be an index in [0, num_classes). Other values will raise an exception when this op is run on CPU, and return NaN for corresponding loss and gradient rows on GPU. | 
     
logits | 
      Unscaled log probabilities of shape [d_0, d_1, ..., d_{r-1}, num_classes] and dtype float16, float32 or float64. | 
     
weights | 
      Coefficients for the loss. This must be scalar or broadcastable to labels (i.e. same rank and each dimension is either 1 or the same). | 
     
scope | 
      the scope for the operations performed in computing the loss. | 
loss_collection | 
      collection to which the loss will be added. | 
reduction | 
      Type of reduction to apply to loss. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Weighted loss Tensor of the same type as logits. If reduction is NONE, this has the same shape as labels; otherwise, it is scalar. | 
     
| Raises | |
|---|---|
ValueError | 
      If the shapes of logits, labels, and weights are incompatible, or if any of them are None. | 
     
Eager Compatibility
The loss_collection argument is ignored when executing eagerly. Consider holding on to the return value or collecting losses via a tf.keras.Model.
