class mindspore.Tensor(input_data=None, dtype=None, shape=None, init=None)[source]

Tensor is used for data storage.

Tensor inherits tensor object in C++. Some functions are implemented in C++ and some functions are implemented in Python.

Parameters

input_data (Union[Tensor, float, int, bool, tuple, list, numpy.ndarray]) – Input data of the tensor.
dtype (mindspore.dtype) – Input data should be None, bool or numeric type defined in mindspore.dtype. The argument is used to define the data type of the output tensor. If it is None, the data type of the output tensor will be as same as the input_data. Default: None.
shape (Union[tuple, list, int]) – A list of integers, a tuple of integers or an integer as the shape of output. If input_data is available, shape doesn’t need to be set. Default: None.
init (Initializer) – the information of init data. ‘init’ is used for delayed initialization in parallel mode. Usually, it is not recommended to use ‘init’ interface to initialize parameters in other conditions. If ‘init’ interface is used to initialize parameters, the Tensor.init_data API need to be called to convert Tensor to the actual data.

Outputs:: Tensor. If dtype and shape are not set, return a tensor with the same dtype and shape as input_data. If dtype or shape is set, the dtype or shape of the output Tensor is consistent with the setting.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import mindspore as ms
>>> from mindspore import Tensor
>>> from mindspore.common.initializer import One
>>> # initialize a tensor with input data
>>> t1 = Tensor(np.zeros([1, 2, 3]), ms.float32)
>>> assert isinstance(t1, Tensor)
>>> assert t1.shape == (1, 2, 3)
>>> assert t1.dtype == ms.float32
>>>
>>> # initialize a tensor with a float scalar
>>> t2 = Tensor(0.1)
>>> assert isinstance(t2, Tensor)
>>> assert t2.dtype == ms.float64
...
>>> # initialize a tensor with init
>>> t3 = Tensor(shape = (1, 3), dtype=ms.float32, init=One())

sum(axis=None, dtype=None, keepdims=False, initial=None)[source]

Return sum of array elements over a given axis.

Note

Numpy arguments out, where, casting, order, subok, signature, and extobj are not supported.

Parameters

axis (Union[None, int, tuple(int)]) – Axis or axes along which a sum is performed. Default: None. If None, sum all of the elements of the input array. If axis is negative it counts from the last to the first axis. If axis is a tuple of ints, a sum is performed on all of the axes specified in the tuple instead of a single axis or all the axes as before.
dtype (mindspore.dtype, optional) – defaults to None. Overrides the dtype of the output Tensor.
keepdims (bool) – If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array. If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the sum method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class’ method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised. Default: False.
initial (scalar) – Starting value for the sum. Default: None.

Returns

Tensor. A tensor with the same shape as input, with the specified axis removed. If input tensor is a 0-d array, or if axis is None, a scalar is returned.

Raises

TypeError – If input is not array_like, or axis is not int or tuple of ints, or keepdims is not integer, or initial is not scalar.

Note

The global seed is used by numpy.random, mindspore.common.Initializer, mindspore.ops.composite.random_ops and mindspore.nn.probability.distribution.

If global seed is not set, these packages will use their own default seed independently, numpy.random and mindspore.common.Initializer will choose a random seed, mindspore.ops.composite.random_ops and mindspore.nn.probability.distribution will use zero.

Seed set by numpy.random.seed() only used by numpy.random, while seed set by this API will also used by numpy.random, so just set all seed by this API is recommended.

Parameters

seed (int) – The seed to be set.

Raises

ValueError – If seed is invalid (< 0).
TypeError – If seed isn’t a int.
