官方API定义

---

tf.argmax(input, axis=None, name=None, dimension=None)

Returns the index with the largest value across axes of a tensor.
Args:

• input: A Tensor. Must be one of the following types: float32, float64, int64, int32, uint8, uint16, int16, int8, complex64, complex128, qint8, quint8, qint32, half.
• axis: A Tensor. Must be one of the following types: int32, int64. int32, 0 <= axis < rank(input). Describes which axis of the input Tensor to reduce across. For vectors, use axis = 0.
• name: A name for the operation (optional).

Returns:

• A Tensor of type int64.

关于axis

定义中的axis与numpy中的axis是一致的，下面通过代码进行解释

import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf

sess = tf.session()
m = sess.run(tf.truncated_normal((5,10), stddev = 0.1) )
print type(m)
print m

m是一个5行10列的矩阵，类型为numpy.ndarray

#使用tensorflow中的tf.argmax()
col_max = sess.run(tf.argmax(m, 0) )  #当axis=0时返回每一列的最大值的位置索引
print col_max

row_max = sess.run(tf.argmax(m, 1) )  #当axis=1时返回每一行中的最大值的位置索引
print row_max

array([2, 3, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 4])
array([5, 0, 0, 8, 9])

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#使用numpy中的numpy.argmax
row_max = m.argmax(0)
print row_max

col_max = m.argmax(1)
print col_max

array([2, 3, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 4])
array([5, 0, 0, 8, 9])

可以看到tf.argmax()与numpy.argmax()方法的用法是一致的

• axis = 0的时候返回每一列最大值的位置索引
• axis = 1的时候返回每一行最大值的位置索引
• axis = 2、3、4...，即为多维张量时，同理推断
