mindspore.mint.scatter

mindspore.mint.scatter(input, dim, index, src)

Update the value in src to input according to the specified index. For a 3-D tensor, the output will be:

output[index[i][j][k]][j][k] = src[i][j][k]  # if dim == 0

output[i][index[i][j][k]][k] = src[i][j][k]  # if dim == 1

output[i][j][index[i][j][k]] = src[i][j][k]  # if dim == 2

Note

The backward is supported only for the case src.shape == index.shape when src is a tensor.

Parameters

• input (Tensor) – The target tensor. The rank of input must be at least 1.

• dim (int) – Which axis to scatter. Accepted range is [-r, r) where r = rank(input).

• index (Tensor) – The index to do update operation whose data must be positive number with type of mindspore.int32 or mindspore.int64. Same rank as input . And accepted range is [-s, s) where s is the size along axis.

• src (Tensor, float) – The data doing the update operation with input. Can be a tensor with the same data type as input or a float number to scatter.

Returns

Tensor, has the same shape and type as input .

Raises

• TypeError – If index is neither int32 nor int64.

• ValueError – If rank of any of input , index and src less than 1.

• ValueError – If the rank of src is not equal to the rank of input .

• TypeError – If the data type of input and src have different dtypes.

• RuntimeError – If index has negative elements.
