How to perform a permute operation in PyTorch?
torch.permute() method is used to perform a permute operation on a PyTorch tensor. It returns a view of the input tensor with its dimension permuted. It doesn't make a copy of the original tensor.
For example, a tensor with dimension [2, 3] can be permuted to [3, 2]. We can also permute a tensor with new dimension using Tensor.permute().
Syntax
torch.permute(input,dims)
Parameters
input – PyTorch tensor.
dims – Tuple of desired dimensions.
Steps
Import the torch library. Make sure you have it already installed.
import torch
Create a PyTorch tensor and print the tensor and the size of the tensor.
t = torch.tensor([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]])
print("Tensor:
", t)
print("Size of tensor:", t.size()) # size 3x2Compute torch.permute(input, dims) and assign the value to a variable. It does not change the original tensor, input.
t1 = torch.permute(t, (1,0))
Print the resultant tensor and its size after the permute operation.
print("Tensor after Permuting:
", t1)
print("Size after permuting:", t1.size())Example 1
In the following Python program, the input tensor is of dimension [3,2]. We use dims = (1, 0) to permute the tensor with the new dimension [2,3].
# import the torch library
import torch
# create a tensor
t = torch.tensor([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]])
# print the created tensor
print("Tensor:
", t)
print("Size of tensor:", t.size())
# perform permute operation
t1 = torch.permute(t,(1,0))
# print the permuted tensor
print("Tensor after Permuting:
", t1)
print("Size after permuting:", t1.size())Output
Tensor:
tensor([[1, 2],
[3, 4],
[5, 6]])
Size of tensor: torch.Size([3, 2])
Tensor after Permuting:
tensor([[1, 3, 5],
[2, 4, 6]])
Size after permuting: torch.Size([2, 3])Example 2
In the following Python code, the input tensor size is [2,3,1]. We use dims = (0,2,1). It gives a view of the input tensor with the dimension [2,1,3].
# import torch library
import torch
# create a tensor
t = torch.randn(2,3,1)
# print the created tensor
print("Tensor:
", t)
print("Size of tensor:", t.size())
# perform permute
t1 = torch.permute(t, (0,2,1))
# print the resultant tensor
print("Tensor after Permuting:
", t1)
print("Size after permuting:", t1.size())Output
Tensor:
tensor([[[ 1.5285],
[-0.2401],
[ 0.2378]],
[[ 0.4733],
[-1.7317],
[ 0.7557]]])
Size of tensor: torch.Size([2, 3, 1])
Tensor after Permuting:
tensor([[[ 1.5285, -0.2401, 0.2378]],
[[ 0.4733, -1.7317, 0.7557]]])
Size after permuting: torch.Size([2, 1, 3])
