gather¶

paddle. gather ( x, index, axis=None, name=None ) [source]

Output is obtained by gathering entries of axis of x indexed by index and concatenate them together.

Given:

x = [[1, 2],
     [3, 4],
     [5, 6]]

index = [1, 2]
axis=[0]

Then:

out = [[3, 4],
       [5, 6]]

Parameters

• x (Tensor) – The source input tensor with rank>=1. Supported data type is int32, int64, float32, float64 and uint8 (only for CPU), float16 (only for GPU).

• index (Tensor) – The index input tensor with rank=1. Data type is int32 or int64.

• axis (Tensor|int, optional) – The axis of input to be gathered, it’s can be int or a Tensor with data type is int32 or int64. The default value is None, if None, the axis 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

The output is a tensor with the same rank as x.

Return type

output (Tensor)

Examples

import paddle

input = paddle.to_tensor([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]])
index = paddle.to_tensor([0,1])
output = paddle.gather(input, index, axis=0)
# expected output: [[1,2],[3,4]]
