Tensorflow: tf.nn.xw_plus_b not in API docs

[MrSaad]

The method tensorflow.nn.xw_plus_b() exists but is not documented in the online API documentation.

I think this is intentional: it's better to use tf.matmul(x, w) + b directly. We are working to lock down our symbol exports so that only documented symbols are exported, but we're a bit lax at the moment.

[dParadiz]

tf.nn.xw_plus_b() has option to name the operation whiletf.matmul(x, w) + b has not. Is there any way around that?

@dParadiz you can just use tf.add(tf.matmul(x, w), b, name='')
