def get_single_element(dataset):
  """Returns the single element in `dataset` as a nested structure of tensors.

  This function enables you to use a @{tf.data.Dataset} in a stateless
  "tensor-in tensor-out" expression, without creating a @{tf.data.Iterator}.
  This can be useful when your preprocessing transformations are expressed
  as a `Dataset`, and you want to use the transformation at serving time.
  For example:

  ```python
  input_batch = tf.placeholder(tf.string, shape=[BATCH_SIZE])

  def preprocessing_fn(input_str):
    # ...
    return image, label

  dataset = (tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(input_batch)
             .map(preprocessing_fn, num_parallel_calls=BATCH_SIZE)
             .batch(BATCH_SIZE))

  image_batch, label_batch = tf.contrib.data.get_single_element(dataset)
  ```

  Args:
    dataset: A @{tf.data.Dataset} object containing a single element.

  Returns:
    A nested structure of @{tf.Tensor} objects, corresponding to the single
    element of `dataset`.

  Raises:
    TypeError: if `dataset` is not a `tf.data.Dataset` object.
    InvalidArgumentError (at runtime): if `dataset` does not contain exactly
      one element.
  """
