permute in PyTorch

Buy Me a Coffee

*Memos:

permute() can get the view of the 1D or more D tensor of zero or more elements with its dimensions permuted without losing data from the 1D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

  • permute() can be used with torch or a tensor.
  • The 1st argument(input) with torch or using a tensor(Required-Type:tensor of int, float, complex or bool).
  • The 2nd argument with torch(Type:tuple of int or list of int) or the 1st or more arguments with a tensor(Type:int, tuple of int or list of int) are dims(Required). *Each number must be unique.
  • You must set the same number of dimensions as the input tensor.
