split

paddle. split ( x, num_or_sections, axis=0, name=None ) [source]

Split the input tensor into multiple sub-Tensors.

Parameters
  • x (Tensor) – A N-D Tensor. The data type is bool, bfloat16, float16, float32, float64, uint8, int8, int32 or int64.

  • num_or_sections (int|list|tuple) – If num_or_sections is an int, then num_or_sections indicates the number of equal sized sub-Tensors that the x will be divided into. If num_or_sections is a list or tuple, the length of it indicates the number of sub-Tensors and the elements in it indicate the sizes of sub-Tensors’ dimension orderly. The length of the list must not be larger than the x ‘s size of specified axis.

  • axis (int|Tensor, optional) – The axis along which to split, it can be a integer or a 0-D Tensor with shape [] and data type int32 or int64. If :math::axis < 0, the axis to split along is \(rank(x) + axis\). Default is 0.

  • 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

list(Tensor), The list of segmented Tensors.

Examples

>>> import paddle

>>> # x is a Tensor of shape [3, 9, 5]
>>> x = paddle.rand([3, 9, 5])

>>> out0, out1, out2 = paddle.split(x, num_or_sections=3, axis=1)
>>> print(out0.shape)
[3, 3, 5]
>>> print(out1.shape)
[3, 3, 5]
>>> print(out2.shape)
[3, 3, 5]

>>> out0, out1, out2 = paddle.split(x, num_or_sections=[2, 3, 4], axis=1)
>>> print(out0.shape)
[3, 2, 5]
>>> print(out1.shape)
[3, 3, 5]
>>> print(out2.shape)
[3, 4, 5]

>>> out0, out1, out2 = paddle.split(x, num_or_sections=[2, 3, -1], axis=1)
>>> print(out0.shape)
[3, 2, 5]
>>> print(out1.shape)
[3, 3, 5]
>>> print(out2.shape)
[3, 4, 5]

>>> # axis is negative, the real axis is (rank(x) + axis)=1
>>> out0, out1, out2 = paddle.split(x, num_or_sections=3, axis=-2)
>>> print(out0.shape)
[3, 3, 5]
>>> print(out1.shape)
[3, 3, 5]
>>> print(out2.shape)
[3, 3, 5]
