tensorplay.functional.narrow_copy

tensorplay.functional.narrow_copy(input, dim, start, length, *, out=None) → Tensor[source]

Same as Tensor.narrow() except this returns a copy rather than shared storage. This is primarily for sparse tensors, which do not have a shared-storage narrow method.

Parameters:

• input (Tensor) – the tensor to narrow

• dim (int) – the dimension along which to narrow

• start (int) – index of the element to start the narrowed dimension from. Can be negative, which means indexing from the end of dim

• length (int) – length of the narrowed dimension, must be weakly positive

Keyword Arguments:

out (Tensor, optional) – the output tensor.

Example:

>>> x = tensorplay.tensor([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
>>> tensorplay.narrow_copy(x, 0, 0, 2)
tensor([[ 1,  2,  3],
        [ 4,  5,  6]])
>>> tensorplay.narrow_copy(x, 1, 1, 2)
tensor([[ 2,  3],
        [ 5,  6],
        [ 8,  9]])
>>> s = tensorplay.arange(16).reshape(2, 2, 2, 2).to_sparse(2)
>>> tensorplay.narrow_copy(s, 0, 0, 1)
tensor(indices=tensor([[0, 0],
                       [0, 1]]),
       values=tensor([[[0, 1],
                       [2, 3]],

                      [[4, 5],
                       [6, 7]]]),
       size=(1, 2, 2, 2), nnz=2, layout=tensorplay.sparse_coo)
