# torch¶

The torch package contains data structures for multi-dimensional tensors and mathematical operations over these are defined. Additionally, it provides many utilities for efficient serializing of Tensors and arbitrary types, and other useful utilities.

It has a CUDA counterpart, that enables you to run your tensor computations on an NVIDIA GPU with compute capability >= 2.0.

## Tensors¶

Returns True if obj is a pytorch storage object.

Parameters: obj (Object) – Object to test
torch.set_default_tensor_type(t)[source]
torch.numel(input) → int

Returns the total number of elements in the input Tensor.

Parameters: input (Tensor) – the input Tensor

Parameters: tensor (Tensor) – tensor to split. split_size (int) – size of a single chunk. dim (int) – dimension along which to split the tensor.
torch.squeeze(input, dim=None, out=None)

Returns a Tensor with all the dimensions of input of size 1 removed.

If input is of shape: $$(A x 1 x B x C x 1 x D)$$ then the out Tensor will be of shape: $$(A x B x C x D)$$

When dim is given, a squeeze operation is done only in the given dimension. If input is of shape: $$(A x 1 x B)$$, squeeze(input, 0) leaves the Tensor unchanged, but squeeze(input, 1) will squeeze the tensor to the shape $$(A x B)$$.

Note

The returned Tensor shares the storage with the input Tensor, so changing the contents of one will change the contents of the other.

Example:

>>> x = torch.zeros(2,1,2,1,2)

torch.bernoulli(input, out=None) → Tensor

Draws binary random numbers (0 or 1) from a bernoulli distribution.

The input Tensor should be a tensor containing probabilities to be used for drawing the binary random number. Hence, all values in input have to be in the range: $$0 <= input_i <= 1$$

torch.multinomial(input, num_samples, replacement=False, out=None) → LongTensor

Returns a Tensor where each row contains num_samples indices sampled from the multinomial probability distribution located in the corresponding row of Tensor input.

Note

The rows of input do not need to sum to one (in which case we use the values as weights), but must be non-negative and have a non-zero sum.

Indices are ordered from left to right according to when each was sampled (first samples are placed in first column).

If input is a vector, out is a vector of size num_samples.

If input is a matrix with m rows, out is an matrix of shape m × n.

If replacement is True, samples are drawn with replacement.

If not, they are drawn without replacement, which means that when a sample index is drawn for a row, it cannot be drawn again for that row.

This implies the constraint that num_samples must be lower than input length (or number of columns of input if it is a matrix).

Parameters: input (Tensor) – Tensor containing probabilities num_samples (int) – number of samples to draw replacement (bool, optional) – Whether to draw with replacement or not out (Tensor, optional) – The result Tensor

Example:

>>> weights = torch.Tensor([0, 10, 3, 0]) # create a Tensor of weights

The means is a Tensor with the mean of each output element’s normal distribution

The std is a Tensor with the standard deviation of each output element’s normal distribution

The shapes of means and std don’t need to match. The total number of elements in each Tensor need to be the same.

Note

When the shapes do not match, the shape of means is used as the shape for the returned output Tensor

Parameters: means (Tensor) – the Tensor of per-element means std (Tensor) – the Tensor of per-element standard deviations out (Tensor) – the optional result Tensor

torch.load can dynamically remap storages to be loaded on a different device using the map_location argument. If it’s a callable, it will be called with two arguments: storage and location tag. It’s expected to either return a storage that’s been moved to a different location, or None (and the location will be resolved using the default method). If this argument is a dict it’s expected to be a mapping from location tags used in a file, to location tags of the current system.

By default the location tags are ‘cpu’ for host tensors and ‘cuda:device_id’ (e.g. ‘cuda:2’) for cuda tensors. User extensions can register their own tagging and deserialization methods using register_package.

Parameters: f – a file-like object (has to implement fileno that returns a file descriptor, and must implement seek), or a string containing a file name map_location – a function or a dict specifying how to remap storage locations pickle_module – module used for unpickling metadata and objects (has to match the pickle_module used to serialize file)

Example

>>> torch.load('tensors.pt')
# Load all tensors onto the CPU
>>> torch.load('tensors.pt', map_location=lambda storage, loc: storage)
# Map tensors from GPU 1 to GPU 0


## Parallelism¶

torch.get_num_threads() → int

torch.gels(B, A, out=None) → Tensor

Computes the solution to the least squares and least norm problems for a full rank $$m$$ by $$n$$ matrix $$A$$.

If $$m >= n$$, gels() solves the least-squares problem:

$\begin{array}{ll} \mbox{minimize} & \|AX-B\|_F. \end{array}$

If $$m < n$$, gels() solves the least-norm problem:

$\begin{array}{ll} \mbox{minimize} & \|X\|_F & \mbox{subject to} & AX = B. \end{array}$

The first $$n$$ rows of the returned matrix $$X$$ contains the solution. The remaining rows contain residual information: the euclidean norm of each column starting at row $$n$$ is the residual for the corresponding column.

Parameters: B (Tensor) – The matrix $$B$$ A (Tensor) – The $$m$$ by $$n$$ matrix $$A$$ out (tuple, optional) – Optional destination tensor tuple containing: X (Tensor): the least squares solution qr (Tensor): the details of the QR factorization (Tensor, Tensor)

torch.geqrf(input, out=None) -> (Tensor, Tensor)

This is a low-level function for calling LAPACK directly.

You’ll generally want to use torch.qr() instead.

Computes a QR decomposition of input, but without constructing Q and R as explicit separate matrices.

Rather, this directly calls the underlying LAPACK function ?geqrf which produces a sequence of ‘elementary reflectors’.

See LAPACK documentation for further details.

Parameters: input (Tensor) – the input matrix out (tuple, optional) – The result tuple of (Tensor, Tensor)
torch.ger(vec1, vec2, out=None) → Tensor

torch.matmul(tensor1, tensor2, out=None)[source]

Matrix product of two tensors.

The behavior depends on the dimensionality of the tensors as follows:

• If both tensors are 1-dimensional, the dot product (scalar) is returned.
• If both arguments are 2-dimensional, the matrix-matrix product is returned.
• If the first argument is 1-dimensional and the second argument is 2-dimensional, a 1 is prepended to its dimension for the purpose of the matrix multiply. After the matrix multiply, the prepended dimension is removed.
• If the first argument is 2-dimensional and the second argument is 1-dimensional, the matrix-vector product is returned.
• 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 returned. If the first argument is 1-dimensional, a 1 is prepended to its dimension for the purpose of 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 (i.e. batch) dimensions are broadcasted (and thus must be broadcastable). For example, if tensor1 is a j x 1 x n x m Tensor and tensor2 is a k x m x p Tensor, out will be an j x k x n x p Tensor.

Note

The 1-dimensional dot product version of this function does not support an out parameter.

Parameters: tensor1 (Tensor) – First tensor to be multiplied tensor2 (Tensor) – Second tensor to be multiplied out (Tensor, optional) – Output tensor
torch.mm(mat1, mat2, out=None) → Tensor

Performs a matrix multiplication of the matrices mat1 and mat2.

If mat1 is a n x m Tensor, mat2 is a m x p Tensor, out will be a n x p Tensor.

Note

This function does not broadcast. For broadcasting matrix products, see torch.matmul().

Parameters: mat1 (Tensor) – First matrix to be multiplied mat2 (Tensor) – Second matrix to be multiplied out (Tensor, optional) – Output tensor

This returns the thin (reduced) QR factorization.

Note

precision may be lost if the magnitudes of the elements of input are large

Note

while it should always give you a valid decomposition, it may not give you the same one across platforms - it will depend on your LAPACK implementation.

torch.symeig(input, eigenvectors=False, upper=True, out=None) -> (Tensor, Tensor)

e, V = torch.symeig(input) returns eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a symmetric real matrix input.

input and V are m x m matrices and e is a m dimensional vector.

This function calculates all eigenvalues (and vectors) of input such that input = V diag(e) V’

The boolean argument eigenvectors defines computation of eigenvectors or eigenvalues only.

If it is False, only eigenvalues are computed. If it is True, both eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

Since the input matrix input is supposed to be symmetric, only the upper triangular portion is used by default.

If upper is False, then lower triangular portion is used.

Note: Irrespective of the original strides, the returned matrix V will be transposed, i.e. with strides (1, m) instead of (m, 1).

Parameters: input (Tensor) – the input symmetric matrix eigenvectors (boolean, optional) – controls whether eigenvectors have to be computed upper (boolean, optional) – controls whether to consider upper-triangular or lower-triangular region out (tuple, optional) – The result tuple of (Tensor, Tensor)

Examples:

>>> a = torch.Tensor([[ 1.96,  0.00,  0.00,  0.00,  0.00],
...                   [-6.49,  3.80,  0.00,  0.00,  0.00],
...                   [-0.47, -6.39,  4.17,  0.00,  0.00],
...                   [-7.20,  1.50, -1.51,  5.70,  0.00],
...                   [-0.65, -6.34,  2.67,  1.80, -7.10]]).t()
