  """Concatenates a list of `SparseTensor` along the specified dimension.

  Concatenation is with respect to the dense versions of each sparse input.
  It is assumed that each inputs is a `SparseTensor` whose elements are ordered
  along increasing dimension number.

  If expand_nonconcat_dim is False, all inputs' shapes must match, except for
  the concat dimension. If expand_nonconcat_dim is True, then inputs' shapes are
  allowed to vary among all inputs.

  The `indices`, `values`, and `shapes` lists must have the same length.

  If expand_nonconcat_dim is False, then the output shape is identical to the
  inputs', except along the concat dimension, where it is the sum of the inputs'
  sizes along that dimension.

  If expand_nonconcat_dim is True, then the output shape along the non-concat
  dimensions will be expand to be the largest among all inputs, and it is the
  sum of the inputs sizes along the concat dimension.

  The output elements will be resorted to preserve the sort order along
  increasing dimension number.

  This op runs in `O(M log M)` time, where `M` is the total number of non-empty
  values across all inputs. This is due to the need for an internal sort in
  order to concatenate efficiently across an arbitrary dimension.

  For example, if `axis = 1` and the inputs are

      sp_inputs[0]: shape = [2, 3]
      [0, 2]: "a"
      [1, 0]: "b"

      sp_inputs[1]: shape = [2, 4]
      [0, 1]: "d"
      [0, 2]: "e"

  then the output will be

      shape = [2, 7]
      [0, 2]: "a"
      [0, 4]: "d"
      [0, 5]: "e"
      [1, 0]: "b"
      [1, 1]: "c"

  Graphically this is equivalent to doing

      [    a] concat [  d e  ] = [    a   d e  ]
      [b c  ]        [       ]   [b c          ]

      sp_inputs[0]: shape = [3, 3]

      sp_inputs[1]: shape = [2, 4]
      [0, 1]: "d"
      [0, 2]: "e"

  if expand_nonconcat_dim = False, this will result in an error. But if
  expand_nonconcat_dim = True, this will result in:

  If one `SparseTensor` and one `Tensor` are passed in, returns a `Tensor`.  If
  both arguments are `SparseTensor`s, this returns a `SparseTensor`.  The order
  of arguments does not matter.  Use vanilla `tf.add()` for adding two dense
  `Tensor`s.

  The shapes of the two operands must match: broadcasting is not supported.

  The indices of any input `SparseTensor` are assumed ordered in standard
  lexicographic order.  If this is not the case, before this step run
  `SparseReorder` to restore index ordering.

  If both arguments are sparse, we perform "clipping" as follows.  By default,
  if two values sum to zero at some index, the output `SparseTensor` would still
  include that particular location in its index, storing a zero in the
  corresponding value slot.  To override this, callers can specify `thresh`,
  indicating that if the sum has a magnitude strictly smaller than `thresh`, its
  corresponding value and index would then not be included.  In particular,
  `thresh == 0.0` (default) means everything is kept and actual thresholding
  happens only for a positive value.

  For example, suppose the logical sum of two sparse operands is (densified):

      [       2]
      [.1     0]
      [ 6   -.2]

      * `thresh == 0.21`: .1, 0, and -.2 will vanish.

  Args:
    a: The first operand; `SparseTensor` or `Tensor`.
    b: The second operand; `SparseTensor` or `Tensor`.  At least one operand
      must be sparse.
    thresh: A 0-D `Tensor`.  The magnitude threshold that determines if an
    output value/index pair takes space.  Its dtype should match that of the
    values if they are real; if the latter are complex64/complex128, then the

  """Combines a batch of feature ids and values into a single `SparseTensor`.

  The most common use case for this function occurs when feature ids and
  their corresponding values are stored in `Example` protos on disk.
  `parse_example` will return a batch of ids and a batch of values, and this
  function joins them into a single logical `SparseTensor` for use in
  functions such as `sparse_tensor_dense_matmul`, `sparse_to_dense`, etc.

  The `SparseTensor` returned by this function has the following properties:

    - `indices` is equivalent to `sp_ids.indices` with the last
      dimension discarded and replaced with `sp_ids.values`.
    - `values` is simply `sp_values.values`.
    - If `sp_ids.dense_shape = [D0, D1, ..., Dn, K]`, then
      `output.shape = [D0, D1, ..., Dn, vocab_size]`.

  For example, consider the following feature vectors:

  ```python
    vector1 = [-3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
    vector2 = [ 0, 1, 0, 4, 1, 0]
    vector3 = [ 5, 0, 0, 9, 0, 0]
  ```

  These might be stored sparsely in the following Example protos by storing
  only the feature ids (column number if the vectors are treated as a matrix)
  of the non-zero elements and the corresponding values:

  ```python
    examples = [Example(features={
                    "ids": Feature(int64_list=Int64List(value=[0])),
                    "values": Feature(float_list=FloatList(value=[-3]))}),
                Example(features={
                    "ids": Feature(int64_list=Int64List(value=[1, 4, 3])),
                    "values": Feature(float_list=FloatList(value=[1, 1, 4]))}),
                Example(features={
                    "ids": Feature(int64_list=Int64List(value=[0, 3])),
                    "values": Feature(float_list=FloatList(value=[5, 9]))})]
  ```

  The result of calling parse_example on these examples will produce a
  dictionary with entries for "ids" and "values". Passing those two objects
  to this function along with vocab_size=6, will produce a `SparseTensor` that
  sparsely represents all three instances. Namely, the `indices` property will
  contain the coordinates of the non-zero entries in the feature matrix (the
  first dimension is the row number in the matrix, i.e., the index within the
  batch, and the second dimension is the column number, i.e., the feature id);
  `values` will contain the actual values. `shape` will be the shape of the
  original matrix, i.e., (3, 6). For our example above, the output will be
  equal to:

  ```python
    SparseTensor(indices=[[0, 0], [1, 1], [1, 3], [1, 4], [2, 0], [2, 3]],
                 values=[-3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9],
                 dense_shape=[3, 6])
  ```

  This method generalizes to higher-dimensions by simply providing a list for
  both the sp_ids as well as the vocab_size.
  In this case the resulting `SparseTensor` has the following properties:
    - `indices` is equivalent to `sp_ids[0].indices` with the last
      dimension discarded and concatenated with
      `sp_ids[0].values, sp_ids[1].values, ...`.
    - `values` is simply `sp_values.values`.
    - If `sp_ids.dense_shape = [D0, D1, ..., Dn, K]`, then
      `output.shape = [D0, D1, ..., Dn] + vocab_size`.

  Args:
    sp_ids: A single `SparseTensor` with `values` property of type `int32`
      or `int64` or a Python list of such `SparseTensor`s or a list thereof.
    sp_values: A `SparseTensor` of any type.
    vocab_size: A scalar `int64` Tensor (or Python int) containing the new size

  It's not obvious but you can consider `embedding_lookup_sparse` as another
  sparse and dense multiplication. In some situations, you may prefer to use
  `embedding_lookup_sparse` even though you're not dealing with embeddings.

  There are two questions to ask in the decision process: Do you need gradients
  computed as sparse too? Is your sparse data represented as two
  `SparseTensor`s: ids and values? There is more explanation about data format
  below. If you answer any of these questions as yes, consider using
  `tf.nn.embedding_lookup_sparse`.

  Following explains differences between the expected SparseTensors:
  For example if dense form of your sparse data has shape `[3, 5]` and values:

      [[  a      ]
       [b       c]
       [    d    ]]


  `SparseTensor` format expected by `sparse_tensor_dense_matmul`:
   `sp_a` (indices, values):

      [0, 1]: a
      [1, 0]: b
      [1, 4]: c
      [2, 2]: d

  `SparseTensor` format expected by `embedding_lookup_sparse`:
   `sp_ids`                 `sp_weights`

      [0, 0]: 1                [0, 0]: a
      [1, 0]: 0                [1, 0]: b
      [1, 1]: 4                [1, 1]: c
      [2, 0]: 2                [2, 0]: d


  Deciding when to use `sparse_tensor_dense_matmul` vs.
  `matmul`(a_is_sparse=True):

  There are a number of questions to ask in the decision process, including:

  * Will the SparseTensor `A` fit in memory if densified?
  * Is the column count of the product large (>> 1)?
  * Is the density of `A` larger than approximately 15%?

  If the answer to several of these questions is yes, consider
  converting the `SparseTensor` to a dense one and using `tf.matmul` with
  `a_is_sparse=True`.

  This operation tends to perform well when `A` is more sparse, if the column
  size of the product is small (e.g. matrix-vector multiplication), if
  `sp_a.dense_shape` takes on large values.

  Below is a rough speed comparison between `sparse_tensor_dense_matmul`,
  labeled 'sparse', and `matmul`(a_is_sparse=True), labeled 'dense'.  For
  purposes of the comparison, the time spent converting from a `SparseTensor` to
  a dense `Tensor` is not included, so it is overly conservative with respect to
  the time ratio.

def sparse_softmax(sp_input, name=None):
  """Applies softmax to a batched N-D `SparseTensor`.

  The inputs represent an N-D SparseTensor with logical shape `[..., B, C]`
  (where `N >= 2`), and with indices sorted in the canonical lexicographic
  order.

  This op is equivalent to applying the normal `tf.nn.softmax()` to each
  innermost logical submatrix with shape `[B, C]`, but with the catch that *the
  implicitly zero elements do not participate*.  Specifically, the algorithm is
  equivalent to:

    (1) Applies `tf.nn.softmax()` to a densified view of each innermost
        submatrix with shape `[B, C]`, along the size-C dimension;
    (2) Masks out the original implicitly-zero locations;
    (3) Renormalizes the remaining elements.

  Hence, the `SparseTensor` result has exactly the same non-zero indices and
  shape.

  Example:

  ```python
  # First batch:
  # [?   e.]
  # [1.  ? ]
  # Second batch:
  # [e   ? ]
  # [e   e ]
  shape = [2, 2, 2]  # 3-D SparseTensor
  values = np.asarray([[[0., np.e], [1., 0.]], [[np.e, 0.], [np.e, np.e]]])
  indices = np.vstack(np.where(values)).astype(np.int64).T

  result = tf.sparse_softmax(tf.SparseTensor(indices, values, shape))
  # ...returning a 3-D SparseTensor, equivalent to:
  # [?   1.]     [1    ?]
  # [1.  ? ] and [.5  .5]
  # where ? means implicitly zero.
