mygrad.atleast_1d#

mygrad.atleast_1d(tensors: ArrayLike, *, constant: Optional[bool] = None) → Tensor[source]#

mygrad.atleast_1d(*tensors: ArrayLike, constant: Optional[bool] = None) → List[Tensor]

Convert inputs to tensors with at least one dimension.

Scalar inputs are converted to 1-dimensional tensors, whilst higher-dimensional inputs are preserved.

This docstring was adapted from numpy.atleast_1d.

Parameters

tens1, tens2, …ArrayLike: One or more input tensors.

Returns

retTensor | List[Tensor]: A tensor, or list of tensors, each with a.ndim >= 1. Copies are made only if necessary.

Examples

>>> import mygrad as mg
>>> mg.atleast_1d(1.0)
array([1.])

>>> x = mg.arange(9.0).reshape(3,3)
>>> np.atleast_1d(x)
Tensor([[0., 1., 2.],
        [3., 4., 5.],
        [6., 7., 8.]])
>>> mg.atleast_1d(x) is x
True

>>> mg.atleast_1d(1, [3, 4])
[Tensor([1]), Tensor([3, 4])]

numpy.atleast_1d will dispatch appropriately on tensors.

>>> x = mg.tensor(2.)
>>> np.atleast_1d(x)
Tensor([2.])

>>> np.atleast_1d(x).backward()
>>> x.grad
array(1.)

If any argument to numpy.atleast_1d is a Tensor, mygrad.atleast_1d will be dispatched on all of the arguments.

>>> np.atleast_1d(x, 1.)
[Tensor([2.]), Tensor([1.])]
