• tf.compat.v2.sparse.from_dense

tf.sparse.from_dense(
    tensor,
    name=None
)

Only elements not equal to zero will be present in the result. The resulting SparseTensor has the same dtype and shape as the input.

Args:

• tensor: A dense Tensor to be converted to a SparseTensor.
• name: Optional name for the op.

Returns:

The SparseTensor.
