nn_utils_rnn_pad_sequence function

Pad a list of variable length Tensors with padding_value

pad_sequence stacks a list of Tensors along a new dimension, and pads them to equal length. For example, if the input is list of sequences with size L x * and if batch_first is False, and T x B x *

otherwise.

nn_utils_rnn_pad_sequence(sequences, batch_first = FALSE, padding_value = 0)

Arguments

• sequences: (list[Tensor]): list of variable length sequences.
• batch_first: (bool, optional): output will be in B x T x * if TRUE, or in T x B x * otherwise
• padding_value: (float, optional): value for padded elements. Default: 0.

Returns

Tensor of size T x B x * if batch_first is FALSE. Tensor of size B x T x * otherwise

Details

B is batch size. It is equal to the number of elements in sequences. T is length of the longest sequence. L is length of the sequence. * is any number of trailing dimensions, including none.

Note

This function returns a Tensor of size T x B x * or B x T x *

where T is the length of the longest sequence. This function assumes trailing dimensions and type of all the Tensors in sequences are same.

Examples

if (torch_is_installed()) {
a <- torch_ones(25, 300)
b <- torch_ones(22, 300)
c <- torch_ones(15, 300)
nn_utils_rnn_pad_sequence(list(a, b, c))$size()
}
