tf.compat.v1.parse_single_example
Parses a single Example proto.
tf.compat.v1.parse_single_example(
    serialized, features, name=None, example_names=None
)
  Similar to parse_example, except:
For dense tensors, the returned Tensor is identical to the output of parse_example, except there is no batch dimension, the output shape is the same as the shape given in dense_shape.
For SparseTensors, the first (batch) column of the indices matrix is removed (the indices matrix is a column vector), the values vector is unchanged, and the first (batch_size) entry of the shape vector is removed (it is now a single element vector).
One might see performance advantages by batching Example protos with parse_example instead of using this function directly.
| Args | |
|---|---|
serialized |

      A dict mapping feature keys to FixedLenFeature or VarLenFeature values. | 
     
name | 
      A name for this operation (optional). | 
example_names | 
      (Optional) A scalar string Tensor, the associated name. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
A dict mapping feature keys to Tensor and SparseTensor values. | 
     
| Raises | |
|---|---|
ValueError | 
      if any feature is invalid. |
