serialize_sparse(
    sp_input,
    name=None
)

Defined in tensorflow/python/ops/sparse_ops.py.

Serialize a SparseTensor into a string 3-vector (1-D Tensor) object.

Args:

• sp_input: The input SparseTensor.
• name: A name prefix for the returned tensors (optional).

Returns:

A string 3-vector (1D Tensor), with each column representing the serialized SparseTensor's indices, values, and shape (respectively).

Raises:

• TypeError: If sp_input is not a SparseTensor.
