Is tf.contrib.layers.flatten(x) the same as tf.reshape(x, [n, 1])?

Question

Is tf.contrib.layers.flatten(x) the same as tf.reshape(x, [n, 1])?

Can anyone help me with this?
 

Answer 1

tf.contrib.layers.flatten(x) flattens the input and the flattened tensor with shape [batch_size, k]. Does not affect the batch size. It is equivalent to the following:

flattened = tf.reshape(x, [tf.shape(x)[0], -1])
