PyTorch Tensor Basics
What is a Tensor?
Tensors are the most fundamental data structure in PyTorch, and can be understood as a generalization of multi-dimensional arrays:
- 0D Tensor: Scalar
- 1D Tensor: Vector
- 2D Tensor: Matrix
- 3D and above: Higher-dimensional tensors
Creating Tensors
1. Creating from Data
2. Creating with Built-in Functions
3. Creating from Other Tensors
