select in PyTorch

Buy Me a Coffee☕

*Memos:

• My post explains index_select().
• My post explains masked_select().

select() can get the 0D or more D view tensor of the zero or more elements selected with an index, removing one dimension from the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

• select() 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). *It must be the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements.
• The 2nd argument with torch or the 1st argument with a tensor is dim(Required-Type:int).
• The 3rd argument with torch or the 2nd argument with a tensor is index(Required-Type:int).
