Description: # tf-slice-assign
        
        [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/zaccharieramzi/tf-slice-assign.svg?token=wHL4tmyGD3TP6bSo6Mdh&branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/zaccharieramzi/tf-slice-assign)
        
        A tool for assignment to a slice in TensorFlow.
        
        In TensorFlow, as opposed to Pytorch, it is currently impossible to assign to
        the slice of a tensor in a range of different settings.
        To mitigate this issue, `tf-slice-assign` introduces a single function that
        allows to do exactly this using [`tensor_scatter_nd_update`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/tensor_scatter_nd_update).
        
        ## Use
        
        ```python
        from tf_slice_assign import slice_assign
        
        new_tensor = slice_assign(old_tensor, assignment, *slice_args)
        ```
        
        You can find a relatively simple example [here](example.py).
        
        ## List of GitHub issues and StackOverflow questions regarding TensorFlow slice assignment
        In the following table, I am trying to give the reasons as to why no mitigation
        for the current problem exists.
