add ( y, name=None ) [source] add¶

Elementwise Add Operator.

Add two tensors element-wise

The equation is:

$Out = X + Y$

$X$: a tensor of any dimension.
$Y$: a tensor whose dimensions must be less than or equal to the dimensions of $X$.

There are two cases for this operator:

The shape of $Y$ is the same with $X$.
The shape of $Y$ is a continuous subsequence of $X$.

For case 2:

Broadcast $Y$ to match the shape of $X$, where $axis$ is the start dimension index for broadcasting $Y$ onto $X$.
If $axis$ is -1 (default), $axis = rank(X) - rank(Y)$.
The trailing dimensions of size 1 for $Y$ will be ignored for the consideration of subsequence, such as shape(Y) = (2, 1) => (2).

For example:

shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (,)
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (5,)
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (4, 5), with axis=-1(default) or axis=2
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (3, 4), with axis=1
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (2), with axis=0
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (2, 1), with axis=0

Parameters

x (Tensor) – (Variable), Tensor or LoDTensor of any dimensions. Its dtype should be int32, int64, float32, float64.
y (Tensor) – (Variable), Tensor or LoDTensor of any dimensions. Its dtype should be int32, int64, float32, float64.
with_quant_attr (BOOLEAN) – Whether the operator has attributes used by quantization.
name (string, optional) – Name of the output. Default is None. It’s used to print debug info for developers. Details: Name

Returns

N-dimension tensor. A location into which the result is stored. It’s dimension equals with x

Examples:

dist ( y, p=2, name=None ) [source] dist¶

This OP returns the p-norm of (x - y). It is not a norm in a strict sense, only as a measure of distance. The shapes of x and y must be broadcastable. The definition is as follows, for details, please refer to the numpy’s broadcasting:

Each input has at least one dimension.
Match the two input dimensions from back to front, the dimension sizes must either be equal, one of them is 1, or one of them does not exist.

Where, z = x - y, the shapes of x and y are broadcastable, then the shape of z can be obtained as follows:

1. If the number of dimensions of x and y are not equal, prepend 1 to the dimensions of the tensor with fewer dimensions.

For example, The shape of x is [8, 1, 6, 1], the shape of y is [7, 1, 5], prepend 1 to the dimension of y.

x (4-D Tensor): 8 x 1 x 6 x 1

y (4-D Tensor): 1 x 7 x 1 x 5

2. Determine the size of each dimension of the output z: choose the maximum value from the two input dimensions.

z (4-D Tensor): 8 x 7 x 6 x 5

If the number of dimensions of the two inputs are the same, the size of the output can be directly determined in step 2. When p takes different values, the norm formula is as follows:

When p = 0, defining $0^0=0$, the zero-norm of z is simply the number of non-zero elements of z.

\[\begin{split}||z||_{0}=\lim_{p \\rightarrow 0}\sum_{i=1}^{m}|z_i|^{p}\end{split}\]

When p = inf, the inf-norm of z is the maximum element of z.

\[||z||_\infty=\max_i |z_i|\]

When p = -inf, the negative-inf-norm of z is the minimum element of z.

\[||z||_{-\infty}=\min_i |z_i|\]

Otherwise, the p-norm of z follows the formula,

\[\begin{split}||z||_{p}=(\sum_{i=1}^{m}|z_i|^p)^{\\frac{1}{p}}\end{split}\]

Parameters

x (Tensor) – 1-D to 6-D Tensor, its data type is float32 or float64.
y (Tensor) – 1-D to 6-D Tensor, its data type is float32 or float64.
p (float, optional) – The norm to be computed, its data type is float32 or float64. Default: 2.

Returns

kron ( y, name=None ) [source] kron¶

Kron Operator.

This operator computes the Kronecker product of two tensors, a composite tensor made of blocks of the second tensor scaled by the first.

This operator assumes that the rank of the two tensors, $X$ and $Y$ are the same, if necessary prepending the smallest with ones. If the shape of $X$ is [$r_0$, $r_1$, …, $r_N$] and the shape of $Y$ is [$s_0$, $s_1$, …, $s_N$], then the shape of the output tensor is [$r_{0}s_{0}$, $r_{1}s_{1}$, …, $r_{N}s_{N}$]. The elements are products of elements from $X$ and $Y$.

The equation is: $$ output[k_{0}, k_{1}, …, k_{N}] = X[i_{0}, i_{1}, …, i_{N}] * Y[j_{0}, j_{1}, …, j_{N}] $$

where $$ k_{t} = i_{t} * s_{t} + j_{t}, t = 0, 1, …, N $$

x (Tensor): the fist operand of kron op, data type: float16, float32,

float64, int32 or int64.

y (Tensor): the second operand of kron op, data type: float16,

float32, float64, int32 or int64. Its data type should be the same with x.

name(str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no

need for user to set this property. For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns:

Tensor: The output of kron op, data type: float16, float32, float64, int32 or int64. Its data is the same with x.

matmul ( y, transpose_x=False, transpose_y=False, name=None ) [source] matmul¶

Applies matrix multiplication to two tensors. matmul follows the complete broadcast rules, and its behavior is consistent with np.matmul.

Currently, the input tensors’ number of dimensions can be any, matmul can be used to achieve the dot, matmul and batchmatmul.

The actual behavior depends on the shapes of $x$, $y$ and the flag values of transpose_x, transpose_y. Specifically:

If a transpose flag is specified, the last two dimensions of the tensor are transposed. If the tensor is ndim-1 of shape, the transpose is invalid. If the tensor is ndim-1 of shape $[D]$, then for $x$ it is treated as $[1, D]$, whereas for $y$ it is the opposite: It is treated as $[D, 1]$.

The multiplication behavior depends on the dimensions of x and y. Specifically:

If both tensors are 1-dimensional, the dot product result is obtained.
If both tensors are 2-dimensional, the matrix-matrix product is obtained.
If the x is 1-dimensional and the y is 2-dimensional, a 1 is prepended to its dimension in order to conduct the matrix multiply. After the matrix multiply, the prepended dimension is removed.
If the x is 2-dimensional and y is 1-dimensional, the matrix-vector product is obtained.
If both arguments are at least 1-dimensional and at least one argument is N-dimensional (where N > 2), then a batched matrix multiply is obtained. If the first argument is 1-dimensional, a 1 is prepended to its dimension in order to conduct the batched matrix multiply and removed after. If the second argument is 1-dimensional, a 1 is appended to its dimension for the purpose of the batched matrix multiple and removed after. The non-matrix (exclude the last two dimensions) dimensions are broadcasted according the broadcast rule. For example, if input is a (j, 1, n, m) tensor and the other is a (k, m, p) tensor, out will be a (j, k, n, p) tensor.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The input tensor which is a Tensor.
y (Tensor) – The input tensor which is a Tensor.
transpose_x (bool) – Whether to transpose $x$ before multiplication.
transpose_y (bool) – Whether to transpose $y$ before multiplication.
name (str|None) – A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer will be named automatically.

Returns

The output Tensor.

mod ( y, name=None ) [source] mod¶

Mod two tensors element-wise. The equation is:

\[out = x \% y\]

Note: paddle.remainder supports broadcasting. If you want know more about broadcasting, please refer to Broadcasting .

Parameters

x (Tensor) – the input tensor, it’s data type should be float32, float64, int32, int64.
y (Tensor) – the input tensor, it’s data type should be float32, float64, int32, int64.
name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

N-D Tensor. A location into which the result is stored. If x, y have different shapes and are “broadcastable”, the resulting tensor shape is the shape of x and y after broadcasting. If x, y have the same shape, its shape is the same as x and y.

Examples

multi_dot ( name=None ) multi_dot¶

Multi_dot is an operator that calculates multiple matrix multiplications.

Supports inputs of float16(only GPU support), float32 and float64 dtypes. This function does not support batched inputs.

The input tensor in [x] must be 2-D except for the first and last can be 1-D. If the first tensor is a 1-D vector of shape(n, ) it is treated as row vector of shape(1, n), similarly if the last tensor is a 1D vector of shape(n, ), it is treated as a column vector of shape(n, 1).

If the first and last tensor are 2-D matrix, then the output is also 2-D matrix, otherwise the output is a 1-D vector.

Multi_dot will select the lowest cost multiplication order for calculation. The cost of multiplying two matrices with shapes (a, b) and (b, c) is a * b * c. Given matrices A, B, C with shapes (20, 5), (5, 100), (100, 10) respectively, we can calculate the cost of different multiplication orders as follows: - Cost((AB)C) = 20x5x100 + 20x100x10 = 30000 - Cost(A(BC)) = 5x100x10 + 20x5x10 = 6000

In this case, multiplying B and C first, then multiply A, which is 5 times faster than sequential calculation.

Parameters

x ([Tensor]) – The input tensors which is a list Tensor.
name (str|None) – A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer will be named automatically.

Returns

The output Tensor.

Return type

Tensor

Examples:

import paddle
import numpy as np

# A * B
A_data = np.random.random([3, 4]).astype(np.float32)
B_data = np.random.random([4, 5]).astype(np.float32)

If the input of this OP contains $m$ Tensors, where $I_{i}$ means the i-th input Tensor, $i$ between $[0,m)$ .

And $O$ means the output, where $O[i]$ means the i-th row of the output, then the output satisfies that $O[i] = I_{index[i]}[i]$ .

          [[3,0,3,4], [3,1,7,8], [3,2,4,2], [3,3,3,4]]]

index = [[3],[0],[1],[2]]

out = [[3,0,3,4],    # out[0] = inputs[index[0]][0] = inputs[3][0] = [3,0,3,4]
       [0,1,3,4],    # out[1] = inputs[index[1]][1] = inputs[0][1] = [0,1,3,4]
       [1,2,4,2],    # out[2] = inputs[index[2]][2] = inputs[1][2] = [1,2,4,2]

multiply ( y, name=None ) [source] multiply¶

Elementwise Mul Operator.

Multiply two tensors element-wise

The equation is:

$Out = X \\odot Y$

$X$: a tensor of any dimension.
$Y$: a tensor whose dimensions must be less than or equal to the dimensions of $X$.

There are two cases for this operator:

The shape of $Y$ is the same with $X$.
The shape of $Y$ is a continuous subsequence of $X$.

For case 2:

Broadcast $Y$ to match the shape of $X$, where $axis$ is the start dimension index for broadcasting $Y$ onto $X$.
If $axis$ is -1 (default), $axis = rank(X) - rank(Y)$.
The trailing dimensions of size 1 for $Y$ will be ignored for the consideration of subsequence, such as shape(Y) = (2, 1) => (2).

For example:

shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (,)
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (5,)
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (4, 5), with axis=-1(default) or axis=2
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (3, 4), with axis=1
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (2), with axis=0
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (2, 1), with axis=0

Parameters

x (Tensor) – (Variable), Tensor or LoDTensor of any dimensions. Its dtype should be int32, int64, float32, float64.
y (Tensor) – (Variable), Tensor or LoDTensor of any dimensions. Its dtype should be int32, int64, float32, float64.

# paddle.mv(x, vec)  # out: [M]

import numpy as np
import paddle

x_data = np.array([[2, 1, 3], [3, 0, 1]]).astype("float64")
x = paddle.to_tensor(x_data)
vec_data = np.array([3, 5, 1])
vec = paddle.to_tensor(vec_data).astype("float64")

neg ( name=None ) [source] neg¶

This function computes the negative of the Tensor elementwisely.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – Input of neg operator, an N-D Tensor, with data type float32, float64, int8, int16, int32, or int64.
name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

Return type

out (Tensor)

Examples

import paddle

x = paddle.to_tensor([-0.4, -0.2, 0.1, 0.3])
out = paddle.neg(x)
print(out)
# [0.4 0.2 -0.1 -0.3]

nonzero ( as_tuple=False ) [source] nonzero¶

Return a tensor containing the indices of all non-zero elements of the input tensor. If as_tuple is True, return a tuple of 1-D tensors, one for each dimension in input, each containing the indices (in that dimension) of all non-zero elements of input. Given a n-Dimensional input tensor with shape [x_1, x_2, …, x_n], If as_tuple is False, we can get a output tensor with shape [z, n], where z is the number of all non-zero elements in the input tensor. If as_tuple is True, we can get a 1-D tensor tuple of length n, and the shape of each 1-D tensor is [z, 1].

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The input tensor variable.
as_tuple (bool) – Return type, Tensor or tuple of Tensor.

Returns

Tensor. The data type is int64.

Examples

import paddle

x1 = paddle.to_tensor([[1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
                       [0.0, 2.0, 0.0],
                       [0.0, 0.0, 3.0]])
x2 = paddle.to_tensor([0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 3.0])

norm ( p='fro', axis=None, keepdim=False, name=None ) [source] norm¶

Returns the matrix norm (Frobenius) or vector norm (the 1-norm, the Euclidean or 2-norm, and in general the p-norm for p > 0) of a given tensor.

Note

This norm API is different from numpy.linalg.norm. This api supports high-order input tensors (rank >= 3), and certain axis need to be pointed out to calculate the norm. But numpy.linalg.norm only supports 1-D vector or 2-D matrix as input tensor. For p-order matrix norm, this api actually treats matrix as a flattened vector to calculate the vector norm, NOT REAL MATRIX NORM.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The input tensor could be N-D tensor, and the input data type could be float32 or float64.
p (float|string, optional) – Order of the norm. Supported values are fro, 0, 1, 2, inf, -inf and any positive real number yielding the corresponding p-norm. Not supported: ord < 0 and nuclear norm. Default value is fro.
axis (int|list|tuple, optional) – The axis on which to apply norm operation. If axis is int or list(int)/tuple(int) with only one element, the vector norm is computed over the axis. If axis < 0, the dimension to norm operation is rank(input) + axis. If axis is a list(int)/tuple(int) with two elements, the matrix norm is computed over the axis. Defalut value is None.
keepdim (bool, optional) – Whether to reserve the reduced dimension in the output Tensor. The result tensor will have fewer dimension than the input unless keepdim is true, default value is False.
name (str, optional) – The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this property. For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

results of norm operation on the specified axis of input tensor, it’s data type is the same as input’s Tensor.

Return type

x.register_hook(double_hook_fn)

w = x + y
# register hook by lambda function

remainder ( y, name=None ) [source] remainder¶

Mod two tensors element-wise. The equation is:

\[out = x \% y\]

Note: paddle.remainder supports broadcasting. If you want know more about broadcasting, please refer to Broadcasting .

Parameters

x (Tensor) – the input tensor, it’s data type should be float32, float64, int32, int64.
y (Tensor) – the input tensor, it’s data type should be float32, float64, int32, int64.
name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

N-D Tensor. A location into which the result is stored. If x, y have different shapes and are “broadcastable”, the resulting tensor shape is the shape of x and y after broadcasting. If x, y have the same shape, its shape is the same as x and y.

Examples

import paddle

x = paddle.to_tensor([2, 3, 8, 7])
y = paddle.to_tensor([1, 5, 3, 3])
z = paddle.remainder(x, y)
print(z)  # [0, 3, 2, 1]

reshape ( shape, name=None ) [source] reshape¶

This operator changes the shape of x without changing its data.

Note that the output Tensor will share data with origin Tensor and doesn’t have a Tensor copy in dygraph mode. If you want to use the Tensor copy version, please use Tensor.clone like reshape_clone_x = x.reshape([-1]).clone().

Some tricks exist when specifying the target shape.

1. -1 means the value of this dimension is inferred from the total element number of x and remaining dimensions. Thus one and only one dimension can be set -1.

2. 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from the corresponding dimension of x. The index of 0s in shape can not exceed the dimension of x.

Here are some examples to explain it.

1. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape is [6, 8], the reshape operator will transform x into a 2-D tensor with shape [6, 8] and leaving x’s data unchanged.

2. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape specified is [2, 3, -1, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a 4-D tensor with shape [2, 3, 4, 2] and leaving x’s data unchanged. In this case, one dimension of the target shape is set to -1, the value of this dimension is inferred from the total element number of x and remaining dimensions.

3. Given a 3-D tensor x with a shape [2, 4, 6], and the target shape is [-1, 0, 3, 2], the reshape operator will transform x into a 4-D tensor with shape [2, 4, 3, 2] and leaving x’s data unchanged. In this case, besides -1, 0 means the actual dimension value is going to be copied from the corresponding dimension of x.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – An N-D Tensor. The data type is float32, float64, int32, int64 or bool
shape (list|tuple|Tensor) – Define the target shape. At most one dimension of the target shape can be -1. The data type is int32 . If shape is a list or tuple, the elements of it should be integers or Tensors with shape [1]. If shape is an Tensor, it should be an 1-D Tensor .
name (str, optional) – The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this property. For more information, please refer to Name .

Returns

A reshaped Tensor with the same data type as x.

Return type

Tensor

Examples

import numpy as np
import paddle

x = paddle.rand([2, 4, 6], dtype="float32")
positive_four = paddle.full([1], 4, "int32")

out = paddle.reshape(x, [-1, 0, 3, 2])
print(out)
# the shape is [2,4,3,2].

out = paddle.reshape(x, shape=[positive_four, 12])
print(out)
# the shape of out_2 is [4, 12].

shape_tensor = paddle.to_tensor(np.array([8, 6]).astype("int32"))
out = paddle.reshape(x, shape=shape_tensor)
print(out)
# the shape is [8, 6].
# out shares data with x in dygraph mode
x[0, 0, 0] = 10.
print(out[0, 0])
# the value is [10.]

scatter_nd ( updates, shape, name=None ) [source] scatter_nd¶

Scatter_nd Layer

Output is obtained by scattering the updates in a new tensor according to index . This op is similar to scatter_nd_add, except the tensor of shape is zero-initialized. Correspondingly, scatter_nd(index, updates, shape) is equal to scatter_nd_add(paddle.zeros(shape, updates.dtype), index, updates) . If index has repeated elements, then the corresponding updates are accumulated. Because of the numerical approximation issues, the different order of repeated elements in index may cause different results. The specific calculation method can be seen scatter_nd_add . This op is the inverse of the gather_nd op.

Parameters

index (Tensor) – The index input with ndim > 1 and index.shape[-1] <= len(shape). Its dtype should be int32 or int64 as it is used as indexes.
updates (Tensor) – The updated value of scatter_nd op. Its dtype should be float32, float64. It must have the shape index.shape[:-1] + shape[index.shape[-1]:]

scatter_nd_add ( index, updates, name=None ) [source] scatter_nd_add¶

Scatter_nd_add Layer

Output is obtained by applying sparse addition to a single value or slice in a Tensor.

x is a Tensor with ndim $R$ and index is a Tensor with ndim $K$ . Thus, index has shape $[i_0, i_1, ..., i_{K-2}, Q]$ where $Q \leq R$ . updates is a Tensor with ndim $K - 1 + R - Q$ and its shape is $index.shape[:-1] + x.shape[index.shape[-1]:]$ .

According to the $[i_0, i_1, ..., i_{K-2}]$ of index , add the corresponding updates slice to the x slice which is obtained by the last one dimension of index .

Given:

* Case 1:
    x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    index = [[1], [2], [3], [1]]
    updates = [9, 10, 11, 12]

  we get:

    output = [0, 22, 12, 14, 4, 5]

* Case 2:
    x = [[65, 17], [-14, -25]]
    index = [[], []]
    updates = [[[-1, -2], [1, 2]],
               [[3, 4], [-3, -4]]]
    x.shape = (2, 2)
    index.shape = (2, 0)
    updates.shape = (2, 2, 2)

  we get:

    output = [[67, 19], [-16, -27]]

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The x input. Its dtype should be int32, int64, float32, float64.
index (Tensor) – The index input with ndim > 1 and index.shape[-1] <= x.ndim. Its dtype should be int32 or int64 as it is used as indexes.

                       [0, 1],
                       [1, 3]]).astype(np.int64)

set_value ( value ) set_value¶

Notes:: This API is ONLY available in Dygraph mode

Set a new value for this Variable.

Parameters: value (Variable|np.ndarray) – the new value.

Examples

import paddle.fluid as fluid
from paddle.fluid.dygraph.base import to_variable
from paddle.fluid.dygraph import Linear
import numpy as np

data = np.ones([3, 1024], dtype='float32')
with fluid.dygraph.guard():
    linear = fluid.dygraph.Linear(1024, 4)
    t = to_variable(data)
    linear(t)  # call with default weight
    custom_weight = np.random.randn(1024, 4).astype("float32")
    linear.weight.set_value(custom_weight)  # change existing weight
    out = linear(t)  # call with different weight

shard_index ( index_num, nshards, shard_id, ignore_value=- 1 ) [source] shard_index¶

Reset the values of input according to the shard it beloning to. Every value in input must be a non-negative integer, and the parameter index_num represents the integer above the maximum value of input. Thus, all values in input must be in the range [0, index_num) and each value can be regarded as the offset to the beginning of the range. The range is further split into multiple shards. Specifically, we first compute the shard_size according to the following formula, which represents the number of integers each shard can hold. So for the i’th shard, it can hold values in the range [i*shard_size, (i+1)*shard_size).

shard_size = (index_num + nshards - 1) // nshards

For each value v in input, we reset it to a new value according to the following formula:

v = v - shard_id * shard_size if shard_id * shard_size <= v < (shard_id+1) * shard_size else ignore_value

That is, the value v is set to the new offset within the range represented by the shard shard_id if it in the range. Otherwise, we reset it to be ignore_value.

Parameters

input (Tensor) – Input tensor with data type int64 or int32. It’s last dimension must be 1.
index_num (int) – An integer represents the integer above the maximum value of input.
nshards (int) – The number of shards.
shard_id (int) – The index of the current shard.
ignore_value (int) – An integer value out of sharded index range.

Returns

Tensor.

Examples

import paddle
label = paddle.to_tensor([[16], [1]], "int64")
shard_label = paddle.shard_index(input=label,
                                 index_num=20,
                                 nshards=2,
                                 shard_id=0)

slice ( axes, starts, ends ) [source] slice¶

This operator produces a slice of input along multiple axes. Similar to numpy: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.indexing.html Slice uses axes, starts and ends attributes to specify the start and end dimension for each axis in the list of axes and Slice uses this information to slice the input data tensor. If a negative value is passed to starts or ends such as $-i$, it represents the reverse position of the axis $i-1$ (here 0 is the initial position). If the value passed to starts or ends is greater than n (the number of elements in this dimension), it represents n. For slicing to the end of a dimension with unknown size, it is recommended to pass in INT_MAX. The size of axes must be equal to starts and ends. Following examples will explain how slice works:

Case1:
    Given:
        data = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], ]
        axes = [0, 1]
        starts = [1, 0]
        ends = [2, 3]
    Then:
        result = [ [5, 6, 7], ]

Case2:
    Given:
        data = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], ]
        axes = [0, 1]
        starts = [0, 1]
        ends = [-1, 1000]       # -1 denotes the reverse 0th position of dimension 0.
    Then:
        result = [ [2, 3, 4], ] # result = data[0:1, 1:4]

Parameters

input (Tensor) – A Tensor . The data type is float16, float32, float64, int32 or int64.
axes (list|tuple) – The data type is int32 . Axes that starts and ends apply to .

strided_slice ( axes, starts, ends, strides, name=None ) [source] strided_slice¶

This operator produces a slice of x along multiple axes. Similar to numpy: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.indexing.html Slice uses axes, starts and ends attributes to specify the start and end dimension for each axis in the list of axes and Slice uses this information to slice the input data tensor. If a negative value is passed to starts or ends such as $-i$, it represents the reverse position of the axis $i-1$ th(here 0 is the initial position). The strides represents steps of slicing and if the strides is negative, slice operation is in the opposite direction. If the value passed to starts or ends is greater than n (the number of elements in this dimension), it represents n. For slicing to the end of a dimension with unknown size, it is recommended to pass in INT_MAX. The size of axes must be equal to starts , ends and strides. Following examples will explain how strided_slice works:

Case1:
    Given:
        data = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], ]
        axes = [0, 1]
        starts = [1, 0]
        ends = [2, 3]
        strides = [1, 1]
    Then:
        result = [ [5, 6, 7], ]

Case2:
    Given:
        data = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], ]
        axes = [0, 1]
        starts = [0, 1]
        ends = [2, 0]
        strides = [1, -1]
    Then:
        result = [ [8, 7, 6], ]
Case3:
    Given:
        data = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], ]
        axes = [0, 1]
        starts = [0, 1]
        ends = [-1, 1000]
        strides = [1, 3]
    Then:
        result = [ [2], ]

tensordot ( y, axes=2, name=None ) [source] tensordot¶

This function computes a contraction, which sum the product of elements from two tensors along the given axes.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The left tensor for contraction with data type float32 or float64.
y (Tensor) – The right tensor for contraction with the same data type as x.
axes (int|tuple|list|Tensor, optional) –
The axes to contract for x and y, defaulted to integer 2.
1. It could be a non-negative integer n, in which the function will sum over the last n axes of x and the first n axes of y in order.
2. It could be a 1-d tuple or list with data type int, in which x and y will be contracted along the same given axes. For example, axes =[0, 1] applies contraction along the first two axes for x and the first two axes for y.
3. It could be a tuple or list containing one or two 1-d tuple|list|Tensor with data type int. When containing one tuple|list|Tensor, the data in tuple|list|Tensor specified the same axes for x and y to contract. When containing two tuple|list|Tensor, the first will be applied to x and the second to y. When containing more than two tuple|list|Tensor, only the first two axis sequences will be used while the others will be ignored.
4. It could be a tensor, in which the axes tensor will be translated to a python list and applied the same rules described above to determine the contraction axes. Note that the axes with Tensor type is ONLY available in Dygraph mode.
name (str, optional) – The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this property. For more information, please refer to Name .

Returns

The contraction result with the same data type as x and y. In general, $output.ndim = x.ndim + y.ndim - 2 \times n_{axes}$, where $n_{axes}$ denotes the number of axes to be contracted.

Return type

Output (Tensor)

Notes

This function supports tensor broadcast, the size in the corresponding dimensions of x and y should be equal, or applies to the broadcast rules.
This function also supports axes expansion, when the two given axis sequences for x and y are of different lengths, the shorter sequence will expand the same axes as the longer one at the end. For example, if axes =[[0, 1, 2, 3], [1, 0]], the axis sequence for x is [0, 1, 2, 3], while the corresponding axis sequences for y will be expanded from [1, 0] to [1, 0, 2, 3].
