How to Cast Integer to Float and Vice Versa in TensorFlow
In this article, we will learn to convert the data types of tensors to integer and float. First, let's create two nodes. node1 = tf.constant(5) # dtype is int32 node2 = tf.constant(6.0) # dtype is float32 Let's multiply the two nodes to create a new node node3 = tf.multiply(node1, node2) This will throw a TypeError: Input 'y' of 'Mul' Op has type float32 that does not match type int32 of argument 'x'. This is because the node1 data type is an integer while the data type of node2 is a float. Multiply method doesn't convert the types of its variables automatically. For now, we need to change them before performing any type of arithmetic operations on them. I hope this changes in the future releases. The correct way is to convert either of the node's type to match the other. Here, we are converting the node1 which is an integer to a float. tf.to_float(node1, name='ToFloat') Replacing the node1 with the above lin...
