TensorFlow is open-source Python library designed by Google to develop Machine Learning models and deep learning neural networks.
reduce_mean() is used to find mean of elements across dimensions of a tensor.
Syntax: tensorflow.math.reduce_mean( input_tensor, axis, keepdims, name)
Parameters:
- input_tensor: It is numeric tensor to reduce.
- axis(optional): It represent the dimensions to reduce. It’s value should be in range [-rank(input_tensor), rank(input_tensor)). If no value is given for this all dimensions are reduced.
- keepdims(optional): It’s default value is False. If it’s set to True it will retain the reduced dimension with length 1.
- name(optional): It defines the name for the operation.
Returns: It returns a tensor.
Example 1:
Python3
# importing the library import tensorflow as tf # Initializing the input tensor a = tf.constant([ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], dtype = tf.float64) # Printing the input tensor print ( 'Input: ' , a) # Calculating result res = tf.math.reduce_mean(a) # Printing the result print ( 'Result: ' , res) |
Output:
Input: tf.Tensor([1. 2. 3. 4.], shape=(4, ), dtype=float64) Result: tf.Tensor(2.5, shape=(), dtype=float64)
Example 2:
Python3
# importing the library import tensorflow as tf # Initializing the input tensor a = tf.constant([[ 1 , 2 ], [ 3 , 4 ]], dtype = tf.float64) # Printing the input tensor print ( 'Input: ' , a) # Calculating result res = tf.math.reduce_mean(a, axis = 1 , keepdims = True ) # Printing the result print ( 'Result: ' , res) |
Output:
Input: tf.Tensor( [[1. 2.] [3. 4.]], shape=(2, 2), dtype=float64) Result: tf.Tensor( [[1.5] [3.5]], shape=(2, 1), dtype=float64)
