take and take_along_dim in PyTorch

#pytorch #take #takealongdim #function

take() can get the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements using the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more indices from the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

take() 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 or the 1st argument with a tensor is index(Required-Type:tensor of int). *It decides the size of a returned tensor.

#         [[True, True], [False, False]]])

take_along_dim() can get the 1D or more D tensor of zero or more elements using the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more indices from the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

take_along_dim() 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 or the 1st argument with a tensor is indices(Required-Type:tensor of int).
The 3rd argument with torch or the 2nd argument with a tensor is dim(Optional-Type:int): *Memos:
- Not setting dim returns a 1D tensor.
- If dim is set, both tensors must be the same D and the returned tensor is its D.
There is out argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:tensor): *Memos:
- out= must be used.
- My post explains out argument.
