Python Pytorch eye() method

0 0 1 minute read

PyTorch is an open-source machine learning library developed by Facebook. It is used for deep neural network and natural language processing purposes.

The function torch.eye() returns a returns a 2-D tensor of size n*m with ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

Syntax: torch.eye(n, m, out=None)

Parameters:
n: the number of rows
m: the number of columns. Default – n
out (Tensor, optional): the output tensor

Return type: A 2-D tensor

Code #1:

# Importing the PyTorch library 
import torch 
  
  
# Applying the eye function and 
# storing the resulting tensor in 'a' 
a = torch.eye(3, 4) 
print("a = ", a) 
  
b = torch.eye(3, 3) 
print("b = ", b) 
  
c = torch.eye(5, 1) 
print("c = ", c) 

Output:

a =  tensor([[1., 0., 0., 0.],
        [0., 1., 0., 0.],
        [0., 0., 1., 0.]])
b =  tensor([[1., 0., 0.],
        [0., 1., 0.],
        [0., 0., 1.]])
c =  tensor([[1.],
        [0.],
        [0.],
        [0.],
        [0.]])
