浅谈Pytorch中的torch.gather函数的含义

b = torch.Tensor([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]])
print b
index_1 = torch.LongTensor([[0,1],[2,0]])
index_2 = torch.LongTensor([[0,1,1],[0,0,0]])
print torch.gather(b, dim=1, index=index_1)
print torch.gather(b, dim=0, index=index_2)

torch.gather(input, dim, index, out=None) → Tensor

 Gathers values along an axis specified by dim.

 For a 3-D tensor the output is specified by:

 out[i][j][k] = input[index[i][j][k]][j][k] # dim=0
 out[i][j][k] = input[i][index[i][j][k]][k] # dim=1
 out[i][j][k] = input[i][j][index[i][j][k]] # dim=2

 Parameters: 

  input (Tensor) ?C The source tensor
  dim (int) ?C The axis along which to index
  index (LongTensor) ?C The indices of elements to gather
  out (Tensor, optional) ?C Destination tensor

 Example:

 >>> t = torch.Tensor([[1,2],[3,4]])
 >>> torch.gather(t, 1, torch.LongTensor([[0,0],[1,0]]))
