PyTorch function

PyTorch is a library for developing deep learning models. These functions are the basic function to create tensor object.

  • function 1 - torch.as_tensor
  • function 2 - torch.from_numpy
  • function 3 - torch.zeros
  • function 4 - torch.ones
  • function 5 - torch.empty

Before we begin, let's install and import PyTorch

# Uncomment and run the appropriate command for your operating system, if required

# Linux / Binder
!pip install numpy torch==1.7.0+cpu torchvision==0.8.1+cpu torchaudio==0.7.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

# Windows
# !pip install numpy torch==1.7.0+cpu torchvision==0.8.1+cpu torchaudio==0.7.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

# MacOS
# !pip install numpy torch torchvision torchaudio

# Import torch and other required modules
import torch

Function 1 - torch.tensor (change this)

Add some explanations

# Example 1 - working
a_data = [[1,2],[3,4]]
torch.as_tensor(a_data)
tensor([[1, 2],
        [3, 4]])
