mindspore.ops.gather

mindspore.ops.gather(input_params, input_indices, axis, batch_dims=0)[source]

Returns the slice of the input tensor corresponding to the elements of input_indices on the specified axis.

The following figure shows the calculation process of Gather commonly:

where params represents the input input_params, and indices represents the index to be sliced input_indices.

Note

  1. The value of input_indices must be in the range of [0, input_param.shape[axis]), the result is undefined out of range.

  2. The data type of input_params cannot be bool_ on Ascend platform currently.

Parameters

  • input_params (Tensor) – The original Tensor. The shape of tensor is \((x_1, x_2, ..., x_R)\).

  • input_indices (Tensor) – Index tensor to be sliced, the shape of tensor is \((y_1, y_2, ..., y_S)\). Specifies the indices of elements of the original Tensor. The data type can be int32 or int64.

  • axis (Union(int, Tensor[int])) – Specifies the dimension index to gather indices. It must be greater than or equal to batch_dims. When axis is a Tensor, the size must be 1.

  • batch_dims (int) – Specifies the number of batch dimensions. It must be less than or euqal to the rank of input_indices. Default: 0 .

Returns

Tensor, the shape of tensor is \(input\_params.shape[:axis] + input\_indices.shape[batch\_dims:] + input\_params.shape[axis + 1:]\).

Raises

  • TypeError – If axis is not an int or Tensor.

  • ValueError – If axis is a Tensor and its size is not 1.

  • TypeError – If input_params is not a tensor.

  • TypeError – If input_indices is not a tensor of type int.
