What does the is_sparse mean in StreamDef?


I'm new to CNTK and quite confused about the is_sparse argument in StreamDef. Does it mean the input file has to be in some specific format?


Solution

  • Yes, it means that the corresponding field in the CTF file is expected to be formatted as zero or more feature_index:feature_value pairs.
