linspace in PyTorch

Buy Me a Coffee

*Memos:

linspace() can create the 1D tensor of the zero or more integers, floating-point numbers or complex numbers evenly spaced between start and end(start<=x<=end) as shown below:

*Memos:

  • linspace() can be used with torch but not with a tensor.
  • The 1st argument with torch is start(Required-Type:int, float, complex or bool). *The 0D tensor of int, float, complex or bool also works.
  • The 2nd argument with torch is end(Required-Type:int, float, complex or bool). *The 0D tensor of int, float, complex or bool also works.
  • The 3rd argument with torch is steps(Required-Type:int): *Memos:
    • It must be greater than or equal to 0.
    • The 0D tensor of int also works.
  • There is dtype argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:dtype): *Memos:
    • If it's None, it's inferred from start, end or step, then for floating-point numbers, get_default_dtype() is used. *My post explains get_default_dtype() and set_default_dtype().
    • Setting start and end of integer type is not enough to create the 1D tensor of integer type so integer type with dtype must be set.
    • dtype= must be used.
    • My post explains dtype argument.
  • There is device argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:str, int or device()): *Memos:
  • There is requires_grad argument with torch(Optional-Default:False-Type:bool): *Memos:
    • requires_grad= must be used.
    • My post explains requires_grad argument.
  • There is out argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:tensor): *Memos:
    • out= must be used.
    • My post explains out argument.
