Tensorflow NCE loss in Keras

Keras NCE-loss

Keras implemenation of the candidate sampling technique called Noise Contrastive Estimation (NCE). This is a Keras Layer which uses the TF implementation of NCE loss.

nce-loss's Issues

Batch Size Issue

For some reason this only works if the batch size evenly divides into the data. This seems like a Keras issue, any ideas on how to fix?
