mindspore.ops.amax

mindspore.ops.amax(x, axis=(), keep_dims=False)[source]

Reduces a dimension of a tensor by the maximum value in this dimension, by default. And also can reduce a dimension of x along the axis. Determine whether the dimensions of the output and input are the same by controlling keep_dims.

Parameters

  • x (Tensor[Number]) – The input tensor. The dtype of the tensor to be reduced is number. \((N,*)\) where \(*\) means, any number of additional dimensions, its rank should be less than 8.

  • axis (Union[int, tuple(int), list(int)]) – The dimensions to reduce. Default: (), reduce all dimensions. Only constant value is allowed. Assume the rank of x is r, and the value range is [-r,r).

  • keep_dims (bool) – If true, keep these reduced dimensions and the length is 1. If false, don’t keep these dimensions. Default: False.

Returns

Tensor, has the same data type as input tensor.

  • If axis is () and keep_dims is False, output a 0-dimensional Tensor representing the maximum value of all elements in the input Tensor.

  • If axis is int, takes the value 1, and keep_dims is False, the shape of the output is \((x_0, x_2, ..., x_R)\) .

  • If axis is tuple(int) or list(int), the value is (1, 2), and keep_dims is False, the shape of the output Tensor is: math:(x_0, x_3, … , x_R) .

Raises

  • TypeError – If x is not a Tensor.

  • TypeError – If axis is not one of the following: int, tuple or list.

  • TypeError – If keep_dims is not a bool.

  • ValueError – If axis is out of range.

Examples

>>> x = Tensor(np.random.randn(3, 4, 5, 6).astype(np.float32))
>>> output = ops.amax(x, 1, keep_dims=True)
>>> result = output.shape
>>> print(result)
(3, 1, 5, 6)
>>> # case 1: Reduces a dimension by the maximum value of all elements in the dimension.
>>> x = Tensor(np.array([[[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2], [3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3]],
