tf.sparse.retain
Retains specified non-empty values within a SparseTensor.
tf.sparse.retain(
    sp_input, to_retain
)
  For example, if sp_input has shape [4, 5] and 4 non-empty string values:
[0, 1]: a
[0, 3]: b
[2, 0]: c
[3, 1]: d
  and to_retain = [True, False, False, True], then the output will be a SparseTensor of shape [4, 5] with 2 non-empty values:
[0, 1]: a
[3, 1]: d
  | Args | |
|---|---|
sp_input | 
      The input SparseTensor with N non-empty elements. | 
     
to_retain | 
      A bool vector of length N with M true values. | 
     
| Returns | |
|---|---|
A SparseTensor with the same shape as the input and M non-empty elements corresponding to the true positions in to_retain. | 
     
| Raises | |
|---|---|
TypeError | 
      If sp_input is not a SparseTensor. |
