Description

In python, you can transpose a tensor by simply calling tf.transpose(x). However, in java, the perm argument is not optional, and setting it to n-1..0 is not trivial. I haven't looked to far into your codegen setup, but generating a single argument transpose method would be very helpful for how much it is used.

Research direction

Start by locating the generated Java binding and codegen definition for transpose, then compare its required perm argument with Python's tf.transpose behavior. Define the single-argument API for reversing dimensions and verify the generated binding with the relevant transpose tests; done means callers no longer need to construct perm for the basic case.
