A Beginners' Guide to PyTorch

The torch package contains data structures for multi-dimensional tensors and mathematical operations over these are defined. Additionally, it provides many utilities for efficient serializing of Tensors and arbitrary types, and other useful utilities.

  • torch.cat
  • torch.tensor
  • torch.unbind
  • torch.eye
  • torch.full

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.cat

torch.cat concatenates a sequence of tensors over the specified dimension dim. All the tensors must be of the same shape

## Example 1 - working (change this)
a = torch.ones(2,3)
b = torch.ones(2,3)
torch.cat((a, b)) 
tensor([[1., 1., 1.],
        [1., 1., 1.],
        [1., 1., 1.],
        [1., 1., 1.]])
