Tensorflow-Go的扩展

谷歌的tensorflow虽然提供了go版本，但是官方的说法是：

TensorFlow provides APIs for use in Go programs. These APIs are particularly well-suited to loading models created in Python and executing them within a Go application.

意思是go的库只是用来装载python创建的模型，然后执行的，而且在go版本api的godoc中也写到：

The tensorflow package currently does not have the ability to export a model to a directory from Go. This function thus currently targets loading models exported in other languages, such as using tf.saved_model.builder in Python. See: https://www.tensorflow.org/code/tensorflow/python/saved_model/

说go不能将模型导出，而且现阶段go版本的api没有直接创建variable的op，但是通过实验可以发现其实是可以使用的，先看/tensorflow/core/ops/state_ops.cc中variable这个op的声明：

REGISTER_OP("VariableV2")    .Output("ref: Ref(dtype)")    .Attr("shape: shape")    .Attr("dtype: type")    .Attr("container: string = ''")    .Attr("shared_name: string = ''")    .SetIsStateful()    .SetShapeFn(shape_inference::ExplicitShape)    .Doc(R"doc(Holds state in the form of a tensor that persists across steps.Outputs a ref to the tensor state so it may be read or modified.TODO(zhifengc/mrry): Adds a pointer to a more detail documentabout sharing states in tensorflow.ref: A reference to the variable tensor.shape: The shape of the variable tensor.dtype: The type of elements in the variable tensor.container: If non-empty, this variable is placed in the given container.        Otherwise, a default container is used.shared_name: If non-empty, this variable is named in the given bucket             with this shared_name. Otherwise, the node name is used instead.)doc");

然后观察/tensorflow/go/op/wrappers.go中调用类似的一个op叫placeholder的方法：

// A placeholder op that passes through `input` when its output is not fed.//// Arguments://  input: The default value to produce when `output` is not fed.//  shape: The (possibly partial) shape of the tensor.//// Returns A placeholder tensor that defaults to `input` if it is not fed.func PlaceholderWithDefault(scope *Scope, input tf.Output, shape tf.Shape) (output tf.Output) {    if scope.Err() != nil {        return    }    attrs := map[string]interface{}{"shape": shape}    opspec := tf.OpSpec{        Type: "PlaceholderWithDefault",        Input: []tf.Input{            input,        },        Attrs: attrs,    }    op := scope.AddOperation(opspec)    return op.Output(0)}

可以看到使用tf.OpSpec结构体，并且对特定格式把参数装进去就可以，经过实验，添加一个Variable的变量op到一个Scope是成功的。以此，在go版本上面做出optimizer等训练需要的东西，只需要自己封装好梯度计算的op，然后对变量进行增改op，完全可以做出一个拥有tensorflow-python版完整功能的api库。

另外，有一点是官方编译的libtensorflow.so文件里面是缺少contrib的内容的，具体解决办法是在tensorflow/BUILD文件(r1.3)的以下小节加入依赖：

cc_binary(    name = "libtensorflow.so",    linkopts = select({        "//tensorflow:darwin": [            "-Wl,-exported_symbols_list",  # This line must be directly followed by the exported_symbols.lds file            "//tensorflow/c:exported_symbols.lds",        ],        "//tensorflow:windows": [],        "//tensorflow:windows_msvc": [],        "//conditions:default": [            "-z defs",            "-s",            "-Wl,--version-script",  #  This line must be directly followed by the version_script.lds file            "//tensorflow/c:version_script.lds",        ],    }),    linkshared = 1,    deps = [        "//tensorflow/contrib:contrib_kernels",       #Add        "//tensorflow/contrib:contrib_ops_op_lib",    #Add        "//tensorflow/c:c_api",        "//tensorflow/c:exported_symbols.lds",        "//tensorflow/c:version_script.lds",        "//tensorflow/core:tensorflow",    ],)
