Math Functions

Torch provides MATLAB-like functions for manipulating Tensor objects. Functions fall into several types of categories:

Constructors like zeros, ones;
Extractors like diag and triu;
Element-wise mathematical operations like abs and pow;
BLAS operations;
Column or row-wise operations like sum and max;
Matrix-wide operations like trace and norm;
Convolution and cross-correlation operations like conv2;
Basic linear algebra operations like eig;
Logical operations on Tensors.

By default, all operations allocate a new Tensor to return the result. However, all functions also support passing the target Tensor(s) as the first argument(s), in which case the target Tensor(s) will be resized accordingly and filled with result. This property is especially useful when one wants have tight control over when memory is allocated.

The Torch package adopts the same concept, so that calling a function directly on the Tensor itself using an object-oriented syntax is equivalent to passing the Tensor as the optional resulting Tensor. The following two calls are equivalent.

torch.log(x, x)
x:log()

Similarly, torch.conv2 function can be used in the following manner.

> x = torch.rand(100, 100)
> k = torch.rand(10, 10)
> res1 = torch.conv2(x, k)   -- case 1

> res2 = torch.Tensor()
> torch.conv2(res2, x, k)     -- case 2

> res2:dist(res1)
0

The advantage of second case is, same res2 Tensor can be used successively in a loop without any new allocation.

-- no new memory allocations...
> for i = 1, 100 do
     torch.conv2(res2, x, k)
  end

> res2:dist(res1)
0

Construction or extraction functions

[res] torch.cat( [res,] x_1, x_2, [dimension] )

[res] torch.multinomial([res,], p, n, [,replacement])

y = torch.multinomial(p, n) returns a Tensor y where each row contains n indices sampled from the multinomial probability distribution located in the corresponding row of Tensor p.

The rows of p do not need to sum to one (in which case we use the values as weights), but must be non-negative and have a non-zero sum. Indices are ordered from left to right according to when each was sampled (first samples are placed in first column).

If p is a vector, y is a vector size n.

If p is a m-rows matrix, y is an m × n matrix.

If replacement is true, samples are drawn with replacement. If not, they are drawn without replacement, which means that when a sample index is drawn for a row, it cannot be drawn again for that row. This implies the constraint that n must be lower than p length (or number of columns of p if it is a matrix).

The default value for replacement is false.

p = torch.Tensor{1, 1, 0.5, 0}
a = torch.multinomial(p, 10000, true)

> a
...
[torch.LongTensor of dimension 10000]

> for i = 1, 4 do print(a:eq(i):sum()) end

Note: If you use the function with a given result Tensor, i.e. of the function prototype: torch.multinomial(res, p, n [, replacement]) then you will have to call it slightly differently as:

p.multinomial(res, p, n, replacement) -- p.multinomial instead of torch.multinomial

Overloaded operators

It is possible to use basic mathematical operators like +, -, /, * and % with Tensors. These operators are provided as a convenience. While they might be handy, they create and return a new Tensor containing the results. They are thus not as fast as the operations available in the previous section.

Another important point to note is that these operators are only overloaded when the first operand is a Tensor. For example, this will NOT work:

> x = 5 + torch.rand(3)

Addition and subtraction

You can add a Tensor to another one with the + operator. Subtraction is done with -. The number of elements in the Tensors must match, but the sizes do not matter. The size of the returned Tensor will be the size of the first Tensor.

> x = torch.Tensor(2, 2):fill(2)
> y = torch.Tensor(4):fill(3)
> = x + y

> = x + 3

Negation

A Tensor can be negated with the - operator placed in front:

> x = torch.Tensor(2, 2):fill(2)
> = -x
-2 -2
-2 -2
[torch.DoubleTensor of size 2x2]

Multiplication

Multiplication between two Tensors is supported with the * operators. The result of the multiplication depends on the sizes of the Tensors.

1D and 1D: Returns the dot product between the two Tensors (scalar).
2D and 1D: Returns the matrix-vector operation between the two Tensors (1D Tensor).
2D and 2D: Returns the matrix-matrix operation between the two Tensors (2D Tensor).

Sizes must be conformant for the corresponding operation.

A Tensor might also be multiplied by a scalar. The scalar might be on the right or left of the operator.

Examples:

> M = torch.Tensor(2, 2):fill(2)
> N = torch.Tensor(2, 4):fill(3)
> x = torch.Tensor(2):fill(4)
> y = torch.Tensor(2):fill(5)
> = x * y -- dot product

Division and Modulo (remainder)

Only the division of a Tensor by a scalar is supported with the operator /.

Example:

> x = torch.Tensor(2, 2):fill(2)
> = x/3
 0.6667  0.6667
 0.6667  0.6667
[torch.DoubleTensor of size 2x2]

Similarly, the remainder of the division of a Tensors elements by a scalar can be obtained with the operator %.

Example:

x = torch.Tensor{{1,2},{3,4}} = x % 3 1 2 0 1 [torch.Tensor of size 2x2]

torch.topk([resval, resind,] x, k, [,dim] [,dir] [,sort])

y, i = torch.topk(x, k) returns all k smallest elements in x over its last dimension including their indices, in unsorted order.

y, i = torch.topk(x, k, dim) performs the same operation except over dimension dim.

y, i = torch.topk(x, k, dim, dir) adds a sorting direction that has the same sense as torch.sort; false returns the k smallest elements in the slice, true returns the k largest elements in the slice.

y, i = torch.topk(x, k, dim, dir, true) specifies that the results in y should be sorted with respect to dir; by default, the results are potentially unsorted since the computation may be faster, but if sorting is desired, the sort flag may be passed, in which case the results are returned from smallest to k-th smallest (dir == false) or highest to k-th highest (dir == true).

The implementation provides no guarantee of the order of selection (indices) among equivalent elements (e.g., topk k == 2 selection of a vector {1, 2, 1, 1}; the values returned could be any pair of 1 entries in the vector).

torch.renorm([res], x, p, dim, maxnorm)

Renormalizes the sub-Tensors along dimension dim such that they do not exceed norm maxnorm.

y = torch.renorm(x, p, dim, maxnorm) returns a version of x with p-norms lower than maxnorm over non-dim dimensions. The dim argument is not to be confused with the argument of the same name in function norm. In this case, the p-norm is measured for each i-th sub-Tensor x:select(dim, i). This function is equivalent to (but faster than) the following:

function renorm(matrix, value, dim, maxnorm)
   local m1 = matrix:transpose(dim, 1):contiguous()
   -- collapse non-dim dimensions:
   m2 = m1:reshape(m1:size(1), m1:nElement()/m1:size(1))
   local norms = m2:norm(value, 2)
   -- clip
   local new_norms = norms:clone()
   new_norms[torch.gt(norms, maxnorm)] = maxnorm
   new_norms:cdiv(norms:add(1e-7))
   -- renormalize
   m1:cmul(new_norms:expandAs(m1))
   return m1:transpose(dim, 1)
end

x:renorm(p, dim, maxnorm) returns the equivalent of x:copy(torch.renorm(x, p, dim, maxnorm)).

Note: this function is particularly useful as a regularizer for constraining the norm of parameter Tensors. See Hinton et al. 2012, p. 2.

torch.dist(x, y)

y = torch.dist(x, y) returns the 2-norm of x - y.

y = torch.dist(x, y, p) returns the p-norm of x - y.

torch.numel(x)

y = torch.numel(x) returns the count of the number of elements in the matrix x.

torch.trace(x)

y = torch.trace(x) returns the trace (sum of the diagonal elements) of a matrix x. This is equal to the sum of the eigenvalues of x. The returned value y is a number, not a Tensor.

Convolution Operations

These functions implement convolution or cross-correlation of an input image (or set of input images) with a kernel (or set of kernels). The convolution function in Torch can handle different types of input/kernel dimensions and produces corresponding outputs. The general form of operations always remain the same.

[res] torch.conv2([res,] x, k, [, 'F' or 'V'])

This function computes 2 dimensional convolutions between x and k. These operations are similar to BLAS operations when number of dimensions of input and kernel are reduced by 2.

x and k are 2D: convolution of a single image with a single kernel (2D output). This operation is similar to multiplication of two scalars.
x (p × m × n) and k (p × ki × kj) are 3D: convolution of each input slice with corresponding kernel (3D output).
x (p × m × n) 3D, k (q × p × ki × kj) 4D: convolution of all input slices with the corresponding slice of kernel. Output is 3D (q × m × n). This operation is similar to matrix vector product of matrix k and vector x.

The last argument controls if the convolution is a full ('F') or valid ('V') convolution. The default is valid convolution.

[res] torch.xcorr2([res,] x, k, [, 'F' or 'V'])

This function operates with same options and input/output configurations as torch.conv2, but performs cross-correlation of the input with the kernel k.

[res] torch.conv3([res,] x, k, [, 'F' or 'V'])

This function computes 3 dimensional convolutions between x and k. These operations are similar to BLAS operations when number of dimensions of input and kernel are reduced by 3.

x and k are 3D: convolution of a single image with a single kernel (3D output). This operation is similar to multiplication of two scalars.
x (p × m × n × o) and k (p × ki × kj × kk) are 4D: convolution of each input slice with corresponding kernel (4D output).
x (p × m × n × o) 4D, k (q × p × ki × kj × kk) 5D: convolution of all input slices with the corresponding slice of kernel. Output is 4D q × m × n × o. This operation is similar to matrix vector product of matrix k and vector x.

The last argument controls if the convolution is a full ('F') or valid ('V') convolution. The default is valid convolution.

Eigenvalues, SVD, Linear System Solution

Functions in this section are implemented with an interface to LAPACK libraries. If LAPACK libraries are not found during compilation step, then these functions will not be available.

[x, lu] torch.gesv([resb, resa,] B, A)

X, LU = torch.gesv(B, A) returns the solution of AX = B and LU contains L and U factors for LU factorization of A.

A has to be a square and non-singular matrix (2D Tensor). A and LU are m × m, X is m × k and B is m × k.

If resb and resa are given, then they will be used for temporary storage and returning the result.

resa will contain L and U factors for LU factorization of A.
resb will contain the solution X.

Note: Irrespective of the original strides, the returned matrices resb and resa will be transposed, i.e. with strides 1, m instead of m, 1.

[x] torch.trtrs([resb, resa,] b, a [, 'U' or 'L'] [, 'N' or 'T'] [, 'N' or 'U'])

X = torch.trtrs(B, A) returns the solution of AX = B where A is upper-triangular.

A has to be a square, triangular, non-singular matrix (2D Tensor). A and resa are m × m, X and B are m × k. (To be very precise: A does not have to be triangular and non-singular, rather only its upper or lower triangle will be taken into account and that part has to be non-singular.)

The function has several options:

uplo ('U' or 'L') specifies whether A is upper or lower triangular; the default value is 'U'.
trans ('N' or 'T') specifies the system of equations: 'N' for A * X = B (no transpose), or 'T' for A^T * X = B (transpose); the default value is 'N'.
diag ('N' or 'U') 'U' specifies that A is unit triangular, i.e., it has ones on its diagonal; 'N' specifies that A is not (necessarily) unit triangular; the default value is 'N'.

If resb and resa are given, then they will be used for temporary storage and returning the result. resb will contain the solution X.

Note: Irrespective of the original strides, the returned matrices resb and resa will be transposed, i.e. with strides 1, m instead of m, 1.

torch.symeig([rese, resv,] a [, 'N' or 'V'] [, 'U' or 'L'])

e, V = torch.symeig(A) returns eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a symmetric real matrix A.

A and V are m × m matrices and e is a m dimensional vector.

This function calculates all eigenvalues (and vectors) of A such that A = V' diag(e) V.

Third argument defines computation of eigenvectors or eigenvalues only. If it is 'N', only eigenvalues are computed. If it is 'V', both eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

Since the input matrix A is supposed to be symmetric, only upper triangular portion is used by default. If the 4th argument is 'L', then lower triangular portion is used.

Note: Irrespective of the original strides, the returned matrix V will be transposed, i.e. with strides 1, m instead of m, 1.

torch.eig([rese, resv,] a [, 'N' or 'V'])

e, V = torch.eig(A) returns eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a general real square matrix A.

A and V are m × m matrices and e is a m dimensional vector.

This function calculates all right eigenvalues (and vectors) of A such that A = V' diag(e) V.

Third argument defines computation of eigenvectors or eigenvalues only. If it is 'N', only eigenvalues are computed. If it is 'V', both eigenvalues and eigenvectors are computed.

The eigen values returned follow LAPACK convention and are returned as complex (real/imaginary) pairs of numbers (2 * m dimensional Tensor).

Note: Irrespective of the original strides, the returned matrix V will be transposed, i.e. with strides 1, m instead of m, 1.

torch.svd([resu, ress, resv,] a [, 'S' or 'A'])

U, S, V = torch.svd(A) returns the singular value decomposition of a real matrix A of size n × m such that A = USV'*.

U is n × n, S is n × m and V is m × m.

The last argument, if it is string, represents the number of singular values to be computed. 'S' stands for some and 'A' stands for all.

Note: Irrespective of the original strides, the returned matrix U will be transposed, i.e. with strides 1, n instead of n, 1.

torch.qr([q, r], x)

Compute a QR decomposition of the matrix x: matrices q and r such that x = q * r, with q orthogonal and r upper triangular. This returns the thin (reduced) QR factorization.

torch.qr(x) returns the Q and R components as new matrices.

torch.qr(q, r, x) stores them in existing Tensors q and r.

Note that precision may be lost if the magnitudes of the elements of x are large.

Note also that, while it should always give you a valid decomposition, it may not give you the same one across platforms - it will depend on your LAPACK implementation.

Note: Irrespective of the original strides, the returned matrix q will be transposed, i.e. with strides 1, m instead of m, 1.

torch.geqrf([m, tau], a)

This is a low-level function for calling LAPACK directly. You'll generally want to use torch.qr() instead.

Computes a QR decomposition of a, but without constructing Q and R as explicit separate matrices. Rather, this directly calls the underlying LAPACK function ?geqrf which produces a sequence of 'elementary reflectors'. See LAPACK documentation for further details.

torch.orgqr([q], m, tau)

This is a low-level function for calling LAPACK directly. You'll generally want to use torch.qr() instead.

Constructs a Q matrix from a sequence of elementary reflectors, such as that given by torch.geqrf. See LAPACK documentation for further details.

torch.ormqr([res], m, tau, mat [, 'L' or 'R'] [, 'N' or 'T'])

Multiply a matrix with Q as defined by the elementary reflectors and scalar factors returned by geqrf. This is a low-level function for calling LAPACK directly. You'll generally want to use torch.qr() instead.

side ('L' or 'R') specifies whether mat should be left-multiplied, mat * Q, or right-multiplied, Q * mat.
trans ('N' or 'T') specifies whether Q should be transposed before being multiplied.

See LAPACK documentation for further details.

Logical Operations on `Tensor`s

These functions implement logical comparison operators that take a Tensor as input and another Tensor or a number as the comparison target. They return a ByteTensor in which each element is 0 or 1 indicating if the comparison for the corresponding element was false or true respectively.

torch.lt(a, b)

Implements < operator comparing each element in a with b (if b is a number) or each element in a with corresponding element in b.

torch.le(a, b)

Implements <= operator comparing each element in a with b (if b is a number) or each element in a with corresponding element in b.

torch.gt(a, b)

Implements > operator comparing each element in a with b (if b is a number) or each element in a with corresponding element in b.

torch.ge(a, b)

Implements >= operator comparing each element in a with b (if b is a number) or each element in a with corresponding element in b.

torch.eq(a, b)

Implements == operator comparing each element in a with b (if b is a number) or each element in a with corresponding element in b.

torch.ne(a, b)

Implements ~= operator comparing each element in a with b (if b is a number) or each element in a with corresponding element in b.

torch.all(a)

torch.any(a)

Additionally, any and all logically sum a ByteTensor returning true if any or all elements are logically true respectively. Note that logically true here is meant in the C sense (zero is false, non-zero is true) such as the output of the Tensor element-wise logical operations.
