dot

paddle.fluid.layers.dot(x, y, name=None)[source]

This operator calculates inner product for vectors.

Note

Only support 1-d Tensor(vector).

Parameters

  • x (Variable) – 1-D Tensor or LoDTensor. Its datatype should be float32, float64, int32, int64

  • y (Variable) – 1-D Tensor or LoDTensor. Its datatype soulde be float32, float64, int32, int64

  • name (str, optional) – Name of the output. Default is None. It’s used to print debug info for developers. Details: Name

Returns

the calculated result Tensor/LoDTensor.

Return type

Variable

Examples:

import paddle
import paddle.fluid as fluid
import numpy as np

with fluid.dygraph.guard():
  x = fluid.dygraph.to_variable(np.random.uniform(0.1, 1, [10]).astype(np.float32))
  y = fluid.dygraph.to_variable(np.random.uniform(1, 3, [10]).astype(np.float32))
  z = fluid.layers.dot(x, y)
  print(z.numpy())
