mindspore.ops.Unique

class mindspore.ops.Unique(*args, **kwargs)

Returns the unique elements of input tensor and also return a tensor containing the index of each value of input tensor corresponding to the output unique tensor.

The output contains Tensor y and Tensor idx, the format is probably similar to (y, idx). The shape of Tensor y and Tensor idx is different in most cases, because Tensor y will be deduplicated, and the shape of Tensor idx is consistent with the input.

To get the same shape between idx and y, please ref to ‘UniqueWithPad’ operator.

Inputs:

• input_x (Tensor) - The input tensor.

Outputs:

Tuple, containing Tensor objects (y, idx), `y is a tensor with the same type as input_x, and contains the unique elements in x, sorted in ascending order. idx is a tensor containing indices of elements in the input corresponding to the output tensor.

Raises

TypeError – If input_x is not a Tensor.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU CPU

Examples

>>> input_x = Tensor(np.array([1, 2, 5, 2]), mindspore.int32)
>>> output = ops.Unique()(input_x)
>>> print(output)
(Tensor(shape=[3], dtype=Int32, value= [1, 2, 5]), Tensor(shape=[4], dtype=Int32, value= [0, 1, 2, 1]))
>>> y = output[0]
>>> print(y)
[1 2 5]
>>> idx = output[1]
>>> print(idx)
[0 1 2 1]
>>> # As can be seen from the above, y and idx shape
>>> # note that for GPU, this operator must be wrapped inside a model, and executed in graph mode.
