merlin.models.tf.SequenceMaskLast

class merlin.models.tf.SequenceMaskLast(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: merlin.models.tf.transforms.sequence.SequenceTargetAsInput

This block copies one of the sequence input features to be the target feature. The last item of the target (and corresponding sequences) is selected (masked) to be predicted The input and target masks are returned by using Keras Masking (._keras_mask), which is set by the compute_mask() method.

Parameters

• schema (Schema) – The input schema, that will be used to discover the name of the item id column

• target (Union[str, Tags, ColumnSchema]) – The sequential input column that will be used to extract the target

__init__(schema: merlin.schema.schema.Schema, target: Union[str, merlin.schema.tags.Tags, merlin.schema.schema.ColumnSchema], pre: Optional[Union[merlin.models.tf.core.base.Block, str, Sequence[str]]] = None, transformer=None, **kwargs)
