Applies sparse addition to individual values or slices in a Variable.

tf.raw_ops.ScatterNdAdd(
    ref, indices, updates, use_locking=False, name=None
)

ref is a Tensor with rank P and indices is a Tensor of rank Q.

indices must be integer tensor, containing indices into ref. It must be shape [d_0, ..., d_{Q-2}, K] where 0 < K <= P.

The innermost dimension of indices (with length K) corresponds to indices into elements (if K = P) or slices (if K < P) along the Kth dimension of ref.

updates is Tensor of rank Q-1+P-K with shape:

[d_0, ..., d_{Q-2}, ref.shape[K], ..., ref.shape[P-1]]

For example, say we want to add 4 scattered elements to a rank-1 tensor to 8 elements. In Python, that addition would look like this:

ref = tf.Variable([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8])
indices = tf.constant([[4], [3], [1], [7]])
updates = tf.constant([9, 10, 11, 12])
add = tf.scatter_nd_add(ref, indices, updates)
with tf.Session() as sess:
  print sess.run(add)

The resulting update to ref would look like this:

[1, 13, 3, 14, 14, 6, 7, 20]

See tf.scatter_nd for more details about how to make updates to slices.
