take_along_axis

paddle. take_along_axis ( arr, indices, axis, broadcast=True ) [source]

Take values from the input array by given indices matrix along the designated axis.

Parameters
  • arr (Tensor) – The input Tensor. Supported data types are float32 and float64.

  • indices (Tensor) – Indices to take along each 1d slice of arr. This must match the dimension of arr, and need to broadcast against arr. Supported data type are int and int64.

  • axis (int) – The axis to take 1d slices along.

  • broadcast (bool, optional) – whether the indices broadcast.

Returns

Tensor, The indexed element, same dtype with arr

Examples

>>> import paddle

>>> x = paddle.to_tensor([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7,8,9]])
>>> index = paddle.to_tensor([[0]])
>>> axis = 0
>>> result = paddle.take_along_axis(x, index, axis)
>>> print(result)
Tensor(shape=[1, 3], dtype=int64, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
[[1, 2, 3]])
