torch.nn.functional.fractional_max_pool2d

torch.nn.functional.fractional_max_pool2d(input, kernel_size, output_size=None, output_ratio=None, return_indices=False, _random_samples=None)

Applies 2D fractional max pooling over an input signal composed of several input planes.

Fractional MaxPooling is described in detail in the paper Fractional MaxPooling by Ben Graham

The max-pooling operation is applied in kH×kWkH \times kW regions by a stochastic step size determined by the target output size. The number of output features is equal to the number of input planes.

Parameters
  • kernel_size – the size of the window to take a max over. Can be a single number kk (for a square kernel of k×kk \times k) or a tuple (kH, kW)

  • output_size – the target output size of the image of the form oH×oWoH \times oW. Can be a tuple (oH, oW) or a single number oHoH for a square image oH×oHoH \times oH

  • output_ratio – If one wants to have an output size as a ratio of the input size, this option can be given. This has to be a number or tuple in the range (0, 1)

  • return_indices – if True, will return the indices along with the outputs. Useful to pass to max_unpool2d().

Examples::
>>> input = torch.randn(20, 16, 50, 32)
>>> # pool of square window of size=3, and target output size 13x12
>>> F.fractional_max_pool2d(input, 3, output_size=(13, 12))
>>> # pool of square window and target output size being half of input image size
>>> F.fractional_max_pool2d(input, 3, output_ratio=(0.5, 0.5))
