  Args:
    weights: A `Tensor` of shape `[num_classes, dim]`, or a list of `Tensor`
        objects whose concatenation along dimension 0 has shape
        [num_classes, dim].  The (possibly-partitioned) class embeddings.
    biases: A `Tensor` of shape `[num_classes]`.  The class biases.
    labels: A `Tensor` of type `int64` and shape `[batch_size,
        num_true]`. The target classes.
    inputs: A `Tensor` of shape `[batch_size, dim]`.  The forward
        activations of the input network.
    num_sampled: An `int`.  The number of negative classes to randomly sample
        per batch. This single sample of negative classes is evaluated for each
        element in the batch.
    num_classes: An `int`. The number of possible classes.
    num_true: An `int`.  The number of target classes per training example.
    sampled_values: a tuple of (`sampled_candidates`, `true_expected_count`,
        `sampled_expected_count`) returned by a `*_candidate_sampler` function.
        (if None, we default to `log_uniform_candidate_sampler`)
    remove_accidental_hits:  A `bool`.  Whether to remove "accidental hits"
        where a sampled class equals one of the target classes.  If set to
        `True`, this is a "Sampled Logistic" loss instead of NCE, and we are
        learning to generate log-odds instead of log probabilities.  See
        our [Candidate Sampling Algorithms Reference]
        (https://www.tensorflow.org/extras/candidate_sampling.pdf).
        Default is False.
    partition_strategy: A string specifying the partitioning strategy, relevant
        if `len(weights) > 1`. Currently `"div"` and `"mod"` are supported.
        Default is `"mod"`. See `tf.nn.embedding_lookup` for more details.
    name: A name for the operation (optional).

  Returns:
    A `batch_size` 1-D tensor of per-example NCE losses.

out_labels

容易看到 out_labels 是0,1构成的向量，其中， 0的为1个，也就是实际上期望的输出，1的个数为num_sampled个。也就是out_labels是实际上期望的输出。

out_logits

对于out_logits可能不是很容易理解，看tf源码中主要是分别计算实际输出的logits（维度为1）以及负采样出的logits（维度为num_sampled），然后将它们拼接到一起形成的。
对于他们的计算方式比较特别并不是直接采用w*x+b的形式计算，而是先通过构建一个比较大的权重矩阵，之后按照每个batch进行w的选取，并且是拼接true_logits以及sampled_logits形成的。

1. 对于 true_logits
   输出维度为1，也就是输入词向量的维度 => 1
2. 对于sampled_logits
   输出维度为num_sampled，也就是输入词向量的维度*num_sampled => num_sampled
