NestedTensor

danling.tensors.NestedTensor

Wrap an iterable of tensors into a single tensor with a mask.

In sequence to sequence tasks, elements of a batch are usually not of the same length. This made it tricky to use a single tensor to represent a batch of sequences.

NestedTensor allows to store a sequence of tensors of different lengths in a single object. It also provides a mask that can be used to retrieve the original sequence of tensors.

When calling __getitem__(arg) on a NestedTensor, it has two return type: 1. if arg is int or slice, returns a tuple of two tensors, representing data and padding mask. 2. if arg is a tuple, return a new NestedTensor with specified shape.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
_storage

The sequence of tensors.

tensor Tensor

padded tensor.

mask Tensor

mask tensor.

concat Tensor

concatenated tensor.

batch_first bool

Whether the first dimension of the tensors is the batch dimension.

If True, the first dimension is the batch dimension, i.e., B, N, *.

If False, the first dimension is the sequence dimension, i.e., N, B, *

padding_value SupportsFloat

The padding value used to in padded tensor.

mask_value bool

The mask value used in mask tensor.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
tensors Iterable[Tensor]
()
batch_first bool
True
padding_value SupportsFloat
0.0
mask_value bool
False

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If tensors is not an iterable.

ValueError

If tensors is empty.

Notes

We have rewritten the __getattr__ function to support as much native tensor operations as possible. However, not all operations are tested.

Please file an issue if you find any bugs.

Examples:

Python Console Session
>>> nested_tensor = NestedTensor(torch.tensor([1, 2, 3]), torch.tensor([4, 5]))
>>> nested_tensor.shape
torch.Size([2, 3])
>>> nested_tensor.device
device(type='cpu')
>>> nested_tensor.dtype
torch.int64
>>> nested_tensor.tensor
tensor([[1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 0]])
>>> nested_tensor.mask
tensor([[ True,  True,  True],
        [ True,  True, False]])
>>> nested_tensor.concat
tensor([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> nested_tensor.to(torch.float).tensor
tensor([[1., 2., 3.],
        [4., 5., 0.]])
>>> nested_tensor.half().tensor
tensor([[1., 2., 3.],
        [4., 5., 0.]], dtype=torch.float16)
>>> nested_tensor[:]
(tensor([[1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 0]]), tensor([[ True,  True,  True],
        [ True,  True, False]]))
>>> nested_tensor[1]
tensor([4, 5])
>>> nested_tensor[:, 1:]
NestedTensor([[2, 3],
        [5, 0]])
>>> nested_tensor.tolist()
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]]
>>> NestedTensor(*[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5]])
NestedTensor([[1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 0]])

class NestedTensor:
    r"""
    Wrap an iterable of tensors into a single tensor with a mask.

    In sequence to sequence tasks, elements of a batch are usually not of the same length.
    This made it tricky to use a single tensor to represent a batch of sequences.

    `NestedTensor` allows to store a sequence of tensors of different lengths in a single object.
    It also provides a mask that can be used to retrieve the original sequence of tensors.

    When calling `__getitem__(arg)` on a `NestedTensor`, it has two return type:
    1. if arg is `int` or `slice`, returns a tuple of two `tensor`s, representing data and padding mask.
    2. if arg is a `tuple`, return a new `NestedTensor` with specified shape.

    Attributes:
        _storage: The sequence of tensors.
        tensor: padded tensor.
        mask: mask tensor.
        concat: concatenated tensor.
        batch_first:  Whether the first dimension of the tensors is the batch dimension.

            If `True`, the first dimension is the batch dimension, i.e., `B, N, *`.

            If `False`, the first dimension is the sequence dimension, i.e., `N, B, *`
        padding_value: The padding value used to in padded tensor.
        mask_value: The mask value used in mask tensor.

    Args:
        tensors:
        batch_first:
        padding_value:
        mask_value:

    Raises:
        ValueError: If `tensors` is not an iterable.
        ValueError: If `tensors` is empty.

    Notes:
        We have rewritten the `__getattr__` function to support as much native tensor operations as possible.
        However, not all operations are tested.

        Please file an issue if you find any bugs.

    Examples:
        >>> nested_tensor = NestedTensor(torch.tensor([1, 2, 3]), torch.tensor([4, 5]))
        >>> nested_tensor.shape
        torch.Size([2, 3])
        >>> nested_tensor.device
        device(type='cpu')
        >>> nested_tensor.dtype
        torch.int64
        >>> nested_tensor.tensor
        tensor([[1, 2, 3],
                [4, 5, 0]])
        >>> nested_tensor.mask
        tensor([[ True,  True,  True],
                [ True,  True, False]])
        >>> nested_tensor.concat
        tensor([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
        >>> nested_tensor.to(torch.float).tensor
        tensor([[1., 2., 3.],
                [4., 5., 0.]])
        >>> nested_tensor.half().tensor
        tensor([[1., 2., 3.],
                [4., 5., 0.]], dtype=torch.float16)
        >>> nested_tensor[:]
        (tensor([[1, 2, 3],
                [4, 5, 0]]), tensor([[ True,  True,  True],

view

Python
view(*shape) -> Tensor

Returns a torch tensor with a different shape.

Note

since NestedTensor is a collection of tensors, the view operation is ambiguous.

Therefore, it is converted to a tensor and then reshaped.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
shape

The desired size of each dimension.

()

Returns:

Type Description
Tensor

Examples:

Python Console Session
>>> nested_tensor = NestedTensor([torch.tensor([1, 2, 3]), torch.tensor([4, 5])])
>>> nested_tensor.view(3, 2)
tensor([[1, 2],
        [3, 4],
        [5, 0]])
>>> nested_tensor.view(2, 3)
tensor([[1, 2, 3],
        [4, 5, 0]])
