Python - tensorflow.convert_to_tensor()

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

convert_to_tensor() is used to convert the given value to a Tensor

Syntax: tensorflow.convert_to_tensor( value, dtype, dtype_hint, name )

Parameters:

• value: It is the value that needed to be converted to Tensor.
• dtype(optional): It defines the type of the output Tensor.
• dtype_hint(optional): It is used when dtype is None. In some cases, a caller may not have a dtype in mind when converting to a tensor, so dtype_hint can be used as a soft preference. If the conversion to dtype_hint is not possible, this argument has no effect.
• name(optional): It defines the name for the operation.

Returns: It returns a Tensor.

Example 1: From Python list

# Importing the library
import tensorflow as tf

# Initializing the input
l = [1, 2, 3, 4]

# Printing the input
print('l: ', l)

# Calculating result
x = tf.convert_to_tensor(l)


# Printing the result
print('x: ', x)

Output:

l:  [1, 2, 3, 4]
x:  tf.Tensor([1 2 3 4], shape=(4, ), dtype=int32)

Example 2: From Python tuple

# Importing the library
import tensorflow as tf

# Initializing the input
l = (1, 2, 3, 4)

# Printing the input
print('l: ', l)

# Calculating result
x = tf.convert_to_tensor(l, dtype = tf.float64)


# Printing the result
print('x: ', x)

Output:

l:  (1, 2, 3, 4)
x:  tf.Tensor([1. 2. 3. 4.], shape=(4, ), dtype=float64)
