clamp in PyTorch

#python #pytorch #clamp #min

clamp() can get the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements from the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements, bounded between min and max as shown below:

*Memos:

clamp() can be used with torch or a tensor.
The 1st argument(input) with torch or using a tensor(Required-Type:tensor of int, float or bool).
The 2nd argument with torch or the 1st argument is min(Optional-Type:scalar of int or float or tensor of int, float or bool).
The 3rd argument with torch or the 1st argument is max(Optional-Type:scalar of int or float or tensor of int, float or bool).
There is out argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:tensor): *Memos:
- out= must be used.
- My post explains out argument.
The combination of min and max cannot be a scalar and tensor and vice versa and both None.
The combination of min and max cannot be both tensors(bool) but a tensor(bool) and None and vice versa is possible.
If a min is greater than a max value, the max value is set regardless of the value of an input tensor.
