Tensorflow: How to convert scalar tensor to scalar variable in python?

Question

In Tensorflow, I'd like to convert a scalar tensor to an integer. Is it possible to do?

I need to create a loop and the index of the loop is a scalar tensor, and inside the loop body, I want to use the index to access an entry in a tensor array.

For example:

idx = tf.constant(0) c = lambda i : tf.less(i, 10) def body(idx) :   i = # convert idx to int    b = weights[i]  # access an entry in a tensor array, tensor cannot be used directly   ....   return idx+1 tf.while_loop(c, body, [idx]) 

Answer 1

In Tensorflow 2.0+, it's as simple as:

my_tensor.numpy()
