mygrad.squeeze#

mygrad.squeeze(a: ArrayLike, axis: Union[None, int, Tuple[int, ...]] = None, *, constant: Optional[bool] = None) → Tensor[source]#

Remove single-dimensional entries from the shape of a tensor.

This docstring was adapted from numpy.squeeze

Parameters

aArrayLike: The tensor to be reshaped
axisOptional[int, Tuple[int, …]]: Selects a subset of the single-dimensional entries in the shape. If an axis is selected with shape entry greater than one, an error is raised.
constantbool, optional(default=False): If True, the returned tensor is a constant (it does not back-propagate a gradient)

Returns

mygrad.Tensor

Raises

ValueError: If axis is not None, and an axis being squeezed is not of length 1

Examples

>>> import mygrad as mg
>>> x = mg.Tensor([[[0], [1], [2]]])
>>> x.shape
(1, 3, 1)
>>> mg.squeeze(x).shape
(3,)
>>> mg.squeeze(x, axis=0).shape
(3, 1)
>>> mg.squeeze(x, axis=1).shape
Traceback (most recent call last) -> Tensor:
...
ValueError: cannot select an axis to squeeze out which has size not equal to one
>>> mg.squeeze(x, axis=2).shape
(1, 3)
