How to input a list of lists with different sizes in tf.data.Dataset

Question

I have a long list of lists of integers (representing sentences, each one of different sizes) that I want to feed using the tf.data library. Each list (of the lists of list)

Answer 1

In addition to @mrry's answer, the following code is also possible if you would like to create (images, labels) pair:

import itertools
data = tf.data.Dataset.from_generator(lambda: itertools.izip_longest(images, labels),
                                      output_types=(tf.float32, tf.float32),
                                      output_shapes=(tf.TensorShape([None, None, 3]), 
                                                     tf.TensorShape([None])))

iterator = dataset.make_one_shot_iterator()
next_element = iterator.get_next()

with tf.Session() as sess:
    image, label = sess.run(next_element)  # ==> shape: [320, 420, 3], [20]
    image, label = sess.run(next_element)  # ==> shape: [1280, 720, 3], [40]
