add ( y, name=None ) [source] add¶

Elementwise Add Operator. Add two tensors element-wise The equation is:

\[Out=X+Y\]

$X$ the tensor of any dimension. $Y$ the tensor whose dimensions must be less than or equal to the dimensions of $X$.

There are two cases for this operator:

The shape of $Y$ is the same with $X$.
The shape of $Y$ is a continuous subsequence of $X$.

For case 2:

Broadcast $Y$ to match the shape of $X$, where axis is the start dimension index for broadcasting $Y$ onto $X$.
If $axis$ is -1 (default), $axis$=rank($X$)-rank($Y$).

The trailing dimensions of size 1 for $Y$ will be ignored for the consideration of subsequence, such as shape($Y$) = (2, 1) => (2).

For example:

                 shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (,)
shape(X) = (2, 3, 4, 5), shape(Y) = (5,)

This function is equivalent to scipy.spatial.distance.cdist(input,’minkowski’, p=p) if $p \in (0, \infty)$. When $p = 0$ it is equivalent to scipy.spatial.distance.cdist(input, ‘hamming’) * M. When $p = \infty$, the closest scipy function is scipy.spatial.distance.cdist(xn, lambda x, y: np.abs(x - y).max()).

Parameters

x (Tensor) – A tensor with shape $B \times P \times M$.
y (Tensor) – A tensor with shape $B \times R \times M$.

- use_mm_for_euclid_dist_if_necessary , for p = 2.0 and (P > 25 or R > 25), it will use matrix multiplication to calculate euclid distance if possible.
- use_mm_for_euclid_dist , for p = 2.0, it will use matrix multiplication to calculate euclid distance.
- donot_use_mm_for_euclid_dist , it will not use matrix multiplication to calculate euclid distance.
Default: use_mm_for_euclid_dist_if_necessary.
name (str, optional) – For details, please refer to Name. Generally, no setting is required. Default: None.

Returns

Tensor, the dtype is same as input tensor.

dist ( y, p=2, name=None ) [source] dist¶

System Message: WARNING/2 (/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/paddle/__init__.py:docstring of paddle.tensor.manipulation.zero_, line 21); backlink

Duplicate explicit target name: “introduction to tensor”.

Returns the p-norm of (x - y). It is not a norm in a strict sense, only as a measure of distance. The shapes of x and y must be broadcastable. The definition is as follows, for details, please refer to the Introduction to Tensor:

Each input has at least one dimension.
Match the two input dimensions from back to front, the dimension sizes must either be equal, one of them is 1, or one of them does not exist.

Where, z = x - y, the shapes of x and y are broadcastable, then the shape of z can be obtained as follows:

1. If the number of dimensions of x and y are not equal, prepend 1 to the dimensions of the tensor with fewer dimensions.

For example, The shape of x is [8, 1, 6, 1], the shape of y is [7, 1, 5], prepend 1 to the dimension of y.

x (4-D Tensor): 8 x 1 x 6 x 1

y (4-D Tensor): 1 x 7 x 1 x 5

2. Determine the size of each dimension of the output z: choose the maximum value from the two input dimensions.

z (4-D Tensor): 8 x 7 x 6 x 5

If the number of dimensions of the two inputs are the same, the size of the output can be directly determined in step 2. When p takes different values, the norm formula is as follows:

When p = 0, defining $0^0=0$, the zero-norm of z is simply the number of non-zero elements of z.

\[\begin{split}||z||_{0}=\lim_{p \\rightarrow 0}\sum_{i=1}^{m}|z_i|^{p}\end{split}\]

When p = inf, the inf-norm of z is the maximum element of the absolute value of z.

\[||z||_\infty=\max_i |z_i|\]

When p = -inf, the negative-inf-norm of z is the minimum element of the absolute value of z.

\[||z||_{-\infty}=\min_i |z_i|\]

Otherwise, the p-norm of z follows the formula,

\[\begin{split}||z||_{p}=(\sum_{i=1}^{m}|z_i|^p)^{\\frac{1}{p}}\end{split}\]

Parameters

x (Tensor) – 1-D to 6-D Tensor, its data type is float32 or float64.
y (Tensor) – 1-D to 6-D Tensor, its data type is float32 or float64.
p (float, optional) – The norm to be computed, its data type is float32 or float64. Default: 2.
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

Tensor that is the p-norm of (x - y).

Return type

Tensor

Examples

masked_select ( mask, name=None ) [source] masked_select¶

Returns a new 1-D tensor which indexes the input tensor according to the mask which is a tensor with data type of bool.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The input Tensor, the data type can be int32, int64, uint16, float16, float32, float64.
mask (Tensor) – The Tensor containing the binary mask to index with, it’s data type is bool.
name (str, optional) – For details, please refer to Name. Generally, no setting is required. Default: None.

Returns

A 1-D Tensor which is the same data type as x.

Examples

             import paddle

x = paddle.to_tensor([[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
                      [5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0],
                      [9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0]])
mask = paddle.to_tensor([[True, False, False, False],
                         [True, True, False, False],
                         [True, False, False, False]])

#[1.0 5.0 6.0 9.0]

            

matmul ( y, transpose_x=False, transpose_y=False, name=None ) [source] matmul¶

Applies matrix multiplication to two tensors. matmul follows the complete broadcast rules, and its behavior is consistent with np.matmul.

Currently, the input tensors’ number of dimensions can be any, matmul can be used to achieve the dot, matmul and batchmatmul.

The actual behavior depends on the shapes of $x$, $y$ and the flag values of transpose_x, transpose_y. Specifically:

If a transpose flag is specified, the last two dimensions of the tensor are transposed. If the tensor is ndim-1 of shape, the transpose is invalid. If the tensor is ndim-1 of shape $[D]$, then for $x$ it is treated as $[1, D]$, whereas for $y$ it is the opposite: It is treated as $[D, 1]$.

The multiplication behavior depends on the dimensions of x and y. Specifically:

If both tensors are 1-dimensional, the dot product result is obtained.
If both tensors are 2-dimensional, the matrix-matrix product is obtained.
If the x is 1-dimensional and the y is 2-dimensional, a 1 is prepended to its dimension in order to conduct the matrix multiply. After the matrix multiply, the prepended dimension is removed.
If the x is 2-dimensional and y is 1-dimensional, the matrix-vector product is obtained.
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 obtained. If the first argument is 1-dimensional, a 1 is prepended to its dimension in order to conduct 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 (exclude the last two dimensions) dimensions are broadcasted according the broadcast rule. For example, if input is a (j, 1, n, m) tensor and the other is a (k, m, p) tensor, out will be a (j, k, n, p) tensor.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The input tensor which is a Tensor.
y (Tensor) – The input tensor which is a Tensor.
transpose_x (bool, optional) – Whether to transpose $x$ before multiplication.
transpose_y (bool, optional) – Whether to transpose $y$ before multiplication.
name (str, optional) – A name for this layer(optional). If set None, the layer will be named automatically.

Returns

The output Tensor.

Return type

Tensor

# vector * vector
x = paddle.rand([10])

matrix_power ( n, name=None ) matrix_power¶

Computes the n-th power of a square matrix or a batch of square matrices.

Let $X$ be a sqaure matrix or a batch of square matrices, $n$ be an exponent, the equation should be:

min ( axis=None, keepdim=False, name=None ) [source] min¶

Computes the minimum of tensor elements over the given axis

Note

The difference between min and amin is: If there are multiple minimum elements, amin evenly distributes gradient between these equal values, while min propagates gradient to all of them.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – A tensor, the data type is float32, float64, int32, int64.
axis (int|list|tuple, optional) – The axis along which the minimum is computed. If None, compute the minimum over all elements of x and return a Tensor with a single element, otherwise must be in the range $[-x.ndim, x.ndim)$. If $axis[i] < 0$, the axis to reduce is $x.ndim + axis[i]$.
keepdim (bool, optional) – Whether to reserve the reduced dimension in the output Tensor. The result tensor will have one fewer dimension than the x unless keepdim is true, default value is False.
name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

Tensor, results of minimum on the specified axis of input tensor, it’s data type is the same as input’s Tensor.

Examples

             import paddle

# data_x is a Tensor with shape [2, 4]
# the axis is a int element
x = paddle.to_tensor([[0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.9],
                      [0.1, 0.2, 0.6, 0.7]],
                     dtype='float64', stop_gradient=False)
result1 = paddle.min(x)
result1.backward()
print(result1, x.grad)
# 0.1, [[0., 0., 0., 0.], [1., 0., 0., 0.]]

x.clear_grad()
result2 = paddle.min(x, axis=0)
result2.backward()
print(result2, x.grad)
#[0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7], [[0., 0., 1., 0.], [1., 1., 0., 1.]]

x.clear_grad()
result3 = paddle.min(x, axis=-1)
result3.backward()
print(result3, x.grad)
#[0.2, 0.1], [[1., 0., 0., 0.], [1., 0., 0., 0.]]

x.clear_grad()
result4 = paddle.min(x, axis=1, keepdim=True)
result4.backward()
print(result4, x.grad)
#[[0.2], [0.1]], [[1., 0., 0., 0.], [1., 0., 0., 0.]]

# data_y is a Tensor with shape [2, 2, 2]
# the axis is list
y = paddle.to_tensor([[[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]],
                      [[5.0, 6.0], [7.0, 8.0]]],
                     dtype='float64', stop_gradient=False)
result5 = paddle.min(y, axis=[1, 2])
result5.backward()
print(result5, y.grad)
#[1., 5.], [[[1., 0.], [0., 0.]], [[1., 0.], [0., 0.]]]

y.clear_grad()
result6 = paddle.min(y, axis=[0, 1])
result6.backward()
print(result6, y.grad)
#[1., 2.], [[[1., 1.], [0., 0.]], [[0., 0.], [0., 0.]]]

            

minimum ( y, name=None ) [source] minimum¶

Compare two tensors and return a new tensor containing the element-wise minima. The equation is:

\[out = min(x, y)\]

Note

paddle.minimum supports broadcasting. If you want know more about broadcasting, please refer to `Introduction to Tensor`_ .

System Message: WARNING/2 (/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/paddle/__init__.py:docstring of paddle.tensor.math.minimum, line 10); backlink

Duplicate explicit target name: “introduction to tensor”.

Parameters

x (Tensor) – the input tensor, it’s data type should be float32, float64, int32, int64.
y (Tensor) – the input tensor, it’s data type should be float32, float64, int32, int64.
name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

Tensor. If x, y have different shapes and are “broadcastable”, the resulting tensor shape is the shape of x and y after broadcasting. If x, y have the same shape, its shape is the same as x and y.

Examples

             import paddle

x = paddle.to_tensor([[1, 2], [7, 8]])
y = paddle.to_tensor([[3, 4], [5, 6]])
res = paddle.minimum(x, y)
print(res)
# Tensor(shape=[2, 2], dtype=int64, place=Place(cpu), stop_gradient=True,
#        [[1, 2],
#         [5, 6]])

x = paddle.to_tensor([[[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]])
y = paddle.to_tensor([3, 0, 4])
res = paddle.minimum(x, y)
