  `values` is a string containing comma-separated `name=value` pairs.
  For each pair, the value of the hyperparameter named `name` is set to
  `value`.
  If a hyperparameter name appears multiple times in `values`, a ValueError
  is raised (e.g. 'a=1,a=2', 'a[1]=1,a[1]=2').
  If a hyperparameter name in both an index assignment and scalar assignment,
  a ValueError is raised.  (e.g. 'a=[1,2,3],a[0] = 1').
  The hyperparameter name may contain '.' symbols, which will result in an
  attribute name that is only accessible through the getattr and setattr
  functions.  (And must be first explicit added through add_hparam.)
  WARNING: Use of '.' in your variable names is allowed, but is not well
  supported and not recommended.
  The `value` in `name=value` must follows the syntax according to the
  type of the parameter:
  *  Scalar integer: A Python-parsable integer point value.  E.g.: 1,
     100, -12.
  *  Scalar float: A Python-parsable floating point value.  E.g.: 1.0,
     -.54e89.
  *  Boolean: Either true or false.
  *  Scalar string: A non-empty sequence of characters, excluding comma,
     spaces, and square brackets.  E.g.: foo, bar_1.
  *  List: A comma separated list of scalar values of the parameter type
     enclosed in square brackets.  E.g.: [1,2,3], [1.0,1e-12], [high,low].
  When index assignment is used, the corresponding type_map key should be the
  list name.  E.g. for "arr[1]=0" the type_map must have the key "arr" (not
  "arr[1]").
  Args:
    values: String.  Comma separated list of `name=value` pairs where
      'value' must follow the syntax described above.
    type_map: A dictionary mapping hyperparameter names to types.  Note every
      parameter name in values must be a key in type_map.  The values must
      conform to the types indicated, where a value V is said to conform to a
      type T if either V has type T, or V is a list of elements of type T.
      Hence, for a multidimensional parameter 'x' taking float values,
      'x=[0.1,0.2]' will parse successfully if type_map['x'] = float.
    ignore_unknown: Bool. Whether values that are missing a type in type_map
      should be ignored. If set to True, a ValueError will not be raised for
      unknown hyperparameter type.
  Returns:
    A python map mapping each name to either:
    * A scalar value.
    * A list of scalar values.
    * A dictionary mapping index numbers to scalar values.
    (e.g. "x=5,L=[1,2],arr[1]=3" results in {'x':5,'L':[1,2],'arr':{1:3}}")
  Raises:
    ValueError: If there is a problem with input.

class HParams(object):
  """Class to hold a set of hyperparameters as name-value pairs.
  A `HParams` object holds hyperparameters used to build and train a model,
  such as the number of hidden units in a neural net layer or the learning rate
  to use when training.
  You first create a `HParams` object by specifying the names and values of the
  hyperparameters.
  To make them easily accessible the parameter names are added as direct
  attributes of the class.  A typical usage is as follows:
  ```python
  # Create a HParams object specifying names and values of the model
  # hyperparameters:
  hparams = HParams(learning_rate=0.1, num_hidden_units=100)
  # The hyperparameter are available as attributes of the HParams object:
  hparams.learning_rate ==> 0.1
  hparams.num_hidden_units ==> 100
  ```
  Hyperparameters have type, which is inferred from the type of their value
  passed at construction type.   The currently supported types are: integer,
  float, boolean, string, and list of integer, float, boolean, or string.
  You can override hyperparameter values by calling the
  [`parse()`](#HParams.parse) method, passing a string of comma separated
  `name=value` pairs.  This is intended to make it possible to override
  any hyperparameter values from a single command-line flag to which
  the user passes 'hyper-param=value' pairs.  It avoids having to define
  one flag for each hyperparameter.
  The syntax expected for each value depends on the type of the parameter.
  See `parse()` for a description of the syntax.
  Example:
  ```python
  # Define a command line flag to pass name=value pairs.
  # For example using argparse:
  import argparse
  parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Train my model.')
  parser.add_argument('--hparams', type=str,
                      help='Comma separated list of "name=value" pairs.')
  args = parser.parse_args()
  ...
  def my_program():
    # Create a HParams object specifying the names and values of the
    # model hyperparameters:
    hparams = tf.HParams(learning_rate=0.1, num_hidden_units=100,
                         activations=['relu', 'tanh'])
    # Override hyperparameters values by parsing the command line
    hparams.parse(args.hparams)
    # If the user passed `--hparams=learning_rate=0.3` on the command line
    # then 'hparams' has the following attributes:
    hparams.learning_rate ==> 0.3
    hparams.num_hidden_units ==> 100
    hparams.activations ==> ['relu', 'tanh']
    # If the hyperparameters are in json format use parse_json:
    hparams.parse_json('{"learning_rate": 0.3, "activations": "relu"}')

    can be accessed directly with the dot notation `hparams._name_`.

    # 'num_hidden_units' an integer parameter, and 'activation' a string
