class IndexedSlices(_TensorLike):
  """A sparse representation of a set of tensor slices at given indices.

  This class is a simple wrapper for a pair of `Tensor` objects:

  * `values`: A `Tensor` of any dtype with shape `[D0, D1, ..., Dn]`.
  * `indices`: A 1-D integer `Tensor` with shape `[D0]`.

  An `IndexedSlices` is typically used to represent a subset of a larger
  tensor `dense` of shape `[LARGE0, D1, .. , DN]` where `LARGE0 >> D0`.
  The values in `indices` are the indices in the first dimension of
  the slices that have been extracted from the larger tensor.

  The dense tensor `dense` represented by an `IndexedSlices` `slices` has

  ```python
  dense[slices.indices[i], :, :, :, ...] = slices.values[i, :, :, :, ...]
  ```

  The `IndexedSlices` class is used principally in the definition of
  gradients for operations that have sparse gradients
  (e.g. @{tf.gather}).

  Contrast this representation with
  @{tf.SparseTensor},
  which uses multi-dimensional indices and scalar values.
