cat in PyTorch

#python #pytorch #cat #function

*Memos:

My post explains stack().
My post explains hstack() and column_stack().
My post explains vstack() and dstack().

cat() can get the 1D or more D concatenated tensor of zero or more elements from the one or more 1D or more D tensors of zero or more elements as shown below:

*Memos:

cat() can be used with torch but not with a tensor.
The 1st argument with torch is tensors(Required-Type:tuple or list of tensor of int, float, complex or bool). *The size of tensors must be the same except dimension 0.
The 2nd argument with torch is dim(Optional-Default:0-Type:int).
There is out argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:tensor): *Memos:
- out= must be used.
- My post explains out argument.
concat() is the alias of cat().
