Study Notes
Tensor Types
- Tensor: a multi-dimensional array of numerical values
- torch.Tensor: a tensor type in PyTorch
Tensor Operations
- torch.tensor(): creates a tensor from a Python list or sequence
- x.pow(2): performs exponentiation operation on tensor x
- abs(): computes the absolute value of a tensor
- tensor.backward(): computes the gradients of a tensor
- sum(): computes the sum of a tensor
Tensor Terms
- requires_grad: a flag indicating whether a tensor requires gradient computation
- dtype: the data type of a tensor (e.g. torch.int32, torch.float64)
- device: the device where a tensor is stored (e.g. CPU, GPU, CUDA)
- layout: the memory layout of a tensor
- storage: the underlying storage of a tensor
Tensor Features
- ** tensor.to()**: moves a tensor to a specified device
- tensor.view(): returns a new tensor with a different shape and size, but shared storage
- tensor.grad: represents the gradients of a tensor
- tensor.storage: holds the underlying storage of a tensor
Tensor Creation
- torch.tensor(): creates a tensor from a Python list or sequence, with a warning about the current implementation
- torch.zeros(): creates a tensor filled with zeros, with a specified data type
- torch.ones(): creates a tensor filled with ones, with a specified data type and device
Tensor Access and Modification
- tensor.item(): gets a Python number from a tensor containing a single value
- Tensor contents can be accessed and modified using indexing and assignment operations
Warning and Notes
- Warning: using the torch.tensor() constructor may have performance implications
- requires_grad=True: enables gradient computation for a tensor
