           parallel_iterations=None,
           back_prop=True,
           swap_memory=False,

           fn_output_signature=None):
  """Transforms `elems` by applying `fn` to each element unstacked on axis 0.

  See also `tf.scan`.

  `map_fn` unstacks `elems` on axis 0 to obtain a sequence of elements;
  calls `fn` to transform each element; and then stacks the transformed
  values back together.

  #### Mapping functions with single-Tensor inputs and outputs

  If `elems` is a single tensor and `fn`'s signature is `tf.Tensor->tf.Tensor`,
  then `map_fn(fn, elems)` is equivalent to
  `tf.stack([fn(elem) for elem in tf.unstack(elems)])`.  E.g.:

  >>> tf.map_fn(fn=lambda t: tf.range(t, t + 3), elems=tf.constant([3, 5, 2]))
  <tf.Tensor: shape=(3, 3), dtype=int32, numpy=
    array([[3, 4, 5],
           [5, 6, 7],
           [2, 3, 4]], dtype=int32)>

  `map_fn(fn, elems).shape = [elems.shape[0]] + fn(elems[0]).shape`.

  #### Mapping functions with multi-arity inputs and outputs

  `map_fn` also supports functions with multi-arity inputs and outputs:

  * If `elems` is a tuple (or nested structure) of tensors, then those tensors
    must all have the same outer-dimension size (`num_elems`); and `fn` is
    used to transform each tuple (or structure) of corresponding slices from
    `elems`.  E.g., if `elems` is a tuple `(t1, t2, t3)`, then `fn` is used to
    transform each tuple of slices `(t1[i], t2[i], t3[i])`
    (where `0 <= i < num_elems`).

  * If `fn` returns a tuple (or nested structure) of tensors, then the
    result is formed by stacking corresponding elements from those structures.

  #### Specifying `fn`'s output signature

  If `fn`'s input and output signatures are different, then the output
  signature must be specified using `fn_output_signature`.  (The input and
  output signatures are differ if their structures, dtypes, or tensor types do
  not match).  E.g.:

  >>> tf.map_fn(fn=tf.strings.length,  # input & output have different dtypes
  ...           elems=tf.constant(["hello", "moon"]),
  ...           fn_output_signature=tf.int32)
  <tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([5, 4], dtype=int32)>
  >>> tf.map_fn(fn=tf.strings.join,  # input & output have different structures
  ...           elems=[tf.constant(['The', 'A']), tf.constant(['Dog', 'Cat'])],
  ...           fn_output_signature=tf.string)
  <tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=string,
   numpy=array([b'TheDog', b'ACat'], dtype=object)>

  `fn_output_signature` can be specified using any of the following:

  * A `tf.DType` or `tf.TensorSpec` (to describe a `tf.Tensor`)
  * A `tf.RaggedTensorSpec` (to describe a `tf.RaggedTensor`)
  * A `tf.SparseTensorSpec` (to describe a `tf.sparse.SparseTensor`)
  * A (possibly nested) tuple, list, or dict containing the above types.

  #### RaggedTensors

  `map_fn` supports `tf.RaggedTensor` inputs and outputs.  In particular:

  * If `elems` is a `RaggedTensor`, then `fn` will be called with each
    row of that ragged tensor.
    * If `elems` has only one ragged dimension, then the values passed to
      `fn` will be `tf.Tensor`s.
    * If `elems` has multiple ragged dimensions, then the values passed to
      `fn` will be `tf.RaggedTensor`s with one fewer ragged dimension.

  * If the result of `map_fn` should be a `RaggedTensor`, then use a
    `tf.RaggedTensorSpec` to specify `fn_output_signature`.
    * If `fn` returns `tf.Tensor`s with varying sizes, then use a
      `tf.RaggedTensorSpec` with `ragged_rank=0` to combine them into a
      single ragged tensor (which will have ragged_rank=1).
    * If `fn` returns `tf.RaggedTensor`s, then use a `tf.RaggedTensorSpec`
      with the same `ragged_rank`.

  >>> # Example: RaggedTensor input
  >>> rt = tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [], [4, 5], [6]])
  >>> tf.map_fn(tf.reduce_sum, rt, fn_output_signature=tf.int32)
  <tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([6, 0, 9, 6], dtype=int32)>

  >>> # Example: RaggedTensor output
  >>> elems = tf.constant([3, 5, 0, 2])
  >>> tf.map_fn(tf.range, elems,
  ...           fn_output_signature=tf.RaggedTensorSpec(shape=[None],
  ...                                                   dtype=tf.int32))
  <tf.RaggedTensor [[0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [], [0, 1]]>

  Note: `map_fn` should only be used if you need to map a function over the
  *rows* of a `RaggedTensor`.  If you wish to map a function over the
  individual values, then you should use:

  * `tf.ragged.map_flat_values(fn, rt)`
    (if fn is expressible as TensorFlow ops)
  * `rt.with_flat_values(map_fn(fn, rt.flat_values))`
    (otherwise)

  E.g.:

  >>> rt = tf.ragged.constant([[1, 2, 3], [], [4, 5], [6]])
  >>> tf.ragged.map_flat_values(lambda x: x + 2, rt)
  <tf.RaggedTensor [[3, 4, 5], [], [6, 7], [8]]>

  #### SparseTensors

  `map_fn` supports `tf.sparse.SparseTensor` inputs and outputs.  In particular:

  * If `elems` is a `SparseTensor`, then `fn` will be called with each row
    of that sparse tensor. In particular, the value passed to `fn` will be a
    `tf.sparse.SparseTensor` with one fewer dimension than `elems`.

  * If the result of `map_fn` should be a `SparseTensor`, then use a
    `tf.SparseTensorSpec` to specify `fn_output_signature`.  The individual
    `SparseTensor`s returned by `fn` will be stacked into a single
    `SparseTensor` with one more dimension.

  >>> # Example: SparseTensor input
  >>> st = tf.sparse.SparseTensor([[0, 0], [2, 0], [2, 1]], [2, 3, 4], [4, 4])
  >>> tf.map_fn(tf.sparse.reduce_sum, st, fn_output_signature=tf.int32)
  <tf.Tensor: shape=(4,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([2, 0, 7, 0], dtype=int32)>

  >>> # Example: SparseTensor output
  >>> tf.sparse.to_dense(
  ...     tf.map_fn(tf.sparse.eye, tf.constant([2, 3]),
  ...               fn_output_signature=tf.SparseTensorSpec(None, tf.float32)))
  <tf.Tensor: shape=(2, 3, 3), dtype=float32, numpy=
    array([[[1., 0., 0.],
            [0., 1., 0.],
            [0., 0., 0.]],
           [[1., 0., 0.],
            [0., 1., 0.],
            [0., 0., 1.]]], dtype=float32)>

  Note: `map_fn` should only be used if you need to map a function over the
  *rows* of a `SparseTensor`.  If you wish to map a function over the nonzero
  values, then you should use:

  * If the function is expressible as TensorFlow ops, use:
    ```python
    tf.sparse.SparseTensor(st.indices, fn(st.values), st.dense_shape)
    ```
  * Otherwise, use:
    ```python
    tf.sparse.SparseTensor(st.indices, tf.map_fn(fn, st.values),
                           st.dense_shape)
    ```

  #### `map_fn` vs. vectorized operations

  `map_fn` will apply the operations used by `fn` to each element of `elems`,
  resulting in `O(elems.shape[0])` total operations.  This is somewhat
  mitigated by the fact that `map_fn` can process elements in parallel.
  However, a transform expressed using `map_fn` is still typically less
  efficient than an equivalent transform expressed using vectorized operations.

  `map_fn` should typically only be used if one of the following is true:

  * It is difficult or expensive to express the desired transform with
    vectorized operations.
  * `fn` creates large intermediate values, so an equivalent vectorized
    transform would take too much memory.
  * Processing elements in parallel is more efficient than an equivalent
    vectorized transform.
  * Efficiency of the transform is not critical, and using `map_fn` is
    more readable.

  E.g., the example given above that maps `fn=lambda t: tf.range(t, t + 3)`
  across `elems` could be rewritten more efficiently using vectorized ops:

  >>> elems = tf.constant([3, 5, 2])
  >>> tf.range(3) + tf.expand_dims(elems, 1)
  <tf.Tensor: shape=(3, 3), dtype=int32, numpy=
    array([[3, 4, 5],
           [5, 6, 7],
           [2, 3, 4]], dtype=int32)>

  In some cases, `tf.vectorized_map` can be used to automatically convert a
  function to a vectorized equivalent.

  #### Eager execution

  When executing eagerly, `map_fn` does not execute in parallel even if
  `parallel_iterations` is set to a value > 1. You can still get the
  performance benefits of running a function in parallel by using the
  `tf.function` decorator:

  >>> fn=lambda t: tf.range(t, t + 3)
  >>> @tf.function
  ... def func(elems):
  ...   return tf.map_fn(fn, elems, parallel_iterations=3)
  >>> func(tf.constant([3, 5, 2]))
  <tf.Tensor: shape=(3, 3), dtype=int32, numpy=
    array([[3, 4, 5],
           [5, 6, 7],
           [2, 3, 4]], dtype=int32)>


  Note: if you use the `tf.function` decorator, any non-TensorFlow Python
  code that you may have written in your function won't get executed. See
  `tf.function` for more  details. The recommendation would be to debug without
  `tf.function` but switch to it to get performance benefits of running `map_fn`
  in parallel.

  Args:
    fn: The callable to be performed.  It accepts one argument, which will have
      the same (possibly nested) structure as `elems`.  Its output must have the
      same structure as `fn_output_signature` if one is provided; otherwise it
      must have the same structure as `elems`.
    elems: A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors, each of which will
      be unstacked along their first dimension.  `fn` will be applied to the
      nested sequence of the resulting slices.  `elems` may include ragged and
      sparse tensors. `elems` must consist of at least one tensor.
    dtype: Deprecated: Equivalent to `fn_output_signature`.
    parallel_iterations: (optional) The number of iterations allowed to run in
      parallel. When graph building, the default value is 10. While executing
      eagerly, the default value is set to 1.
    back_prop: (optional) False disables support for back propagation.
    swap_memory: (optional) True enables GPU-CPU memory swapping.
    infer_shape: (optional) False disables tests for consistent output shapes.
    name: (optional) Name prefix for the returned tensors.
    fn_output_signature: The output signature of `fn`. Must be specified if
      `fn`'s input and output signatures are different (i.e., if their
      structures, dtypes, or tensor types do not match).
      `fn_output_signature` can be specified using any of the following:

      * A `tf.DType` or `tf.TensorSpec` (to describe a `tf.Tensor`)
      * A `tf.RaggedTensorSpec` (to describe a `tf.RaggedTensor`)
      * A `tf.SparseTensorSpec` (to describe a `tf.sparse.SparseTensor`)
      * A (possibly nested) tuple, list, or dict containing the above types.

  Returns:
    A tensor or (possibly nested) sequence of tensors.  Each tensor stacks the
    results of applying `fn` to tensors unstacked from `elems` along the first
    dimension, from first to last.  The result may include ragged and sparse
    tensors.

  Raises:
    TypeError: if `fn` is not callable or the structure of the output of
      `fn` and `fn_output_signature` do not match.
    ValueError: if the lengths of the output of `fn` and `fn_output_signature`
      do not match, or if the `elems` does not contain any tensor.

  Examples:

    >>> elems = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
    >>> tf.map_fn(lambda x: x * x, elems)
    <tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([ 1,  4,  9, 16, 25, 36])>

    >>> elems = (np.array([1, 2, 3]), np.array([-1, 1, -1]))
    >>> tf.map_fn(lambda x: x[0] * x[1], elems, fn_output_signature=tf.int64)
    <tf.Tensor: shape=(3,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([-1,  2, -3])>

    >>> elems = np.array([1, 2, 3])
    >>> tf.map_fn(lambda x: (x, -x), elems,
    ...          fn_output_signature=(tf.int64, tf.int64))
    (<tf.Tensor: shape=(3,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([1, 2, 3])>,
     <tf.Tensor: shape=(3,), dtype=int64, numpy=array([-1, -2, -3])>)
