PyTorch – Vstack()

We will discuss about the vstack() in this PyTorch tutorial.

PyTorch is an open-source framework available with a Python programming language. Tensor is a multidimensional array that is used to store the data. To use a tensor, we have to import the torch module. To create a tensor, the method used is tensor().

Syntax:

torch.tensor(data)

Where the data is a multi-dimensional array.

Torch.vstack()

Torch.vstack() joins two or more tensors vertically.

Syntax:

torch.vstack(tensor_object1,tensor_object2,...........)

Parameter:

It takes two or more tensors.

Example 1:

In this example, we will create two one dimensional tensors and join them vertically using the torch.vstack() function.

#import torch module

import torch

 

#create 2 tensors

data1 = torch.tensor([10,20,40,50])

data2 = torch.tensor([2,3,4,5])

#display

print("Actual Tensors: ")

print(data1)

print(data2)

 

#join two tensors

print("Joined Tensor: ",torch.vstack((data1,data2)))

Output:

Actual Tensors:

tensor([10, 20, 40, 50])

tensor([2, 3, 4, 5])

Joined Tensor: tensor([[10, 20, 40, 50],

[ 2, 3, 4, 5]])

Two tensors are joined vertically.

Example 2:

In this example, we will create five one dimensional tensors and join them vertically using the torch.vstack() function.

#import torch module

import torch

 

 

#create 5 tensors

data1 = torch.tensor([10,20,40,50])

data2 = torch.tensor([2,3,4,5])

data3 = torch.tensor([12,45,67,89])

data4 = torch.tensor([100,32,45,67])

data5 = torch.tensor([120,456,1,1])

 

#display

print("Actual Tensors: ")

print(data1)

print(data2)

print(data3)

print(data4)

print(data5)

 

#join five tensors

print("Joined Tensor: ",torch.vstack((data1,data2,data3,data4,data5)))

Output:

Actual Tensors:

tensor([10, 20, 40, 50])

tensor([2, 3, 4, 5])

tensor([12, 45, 67, 89])

tensor([100, 32, 45, 67])

tensor([120, 456, 1, 1])

Joined Tensor: tensor([[ 10, 20, 40, 50],

[ 2, 3, 4, 5],

[ 12, 45, 67, 89],

[100, 32, 45, 67],

[120, 456, 1, 1]])

Five tensors are joined vertically.

Example 3:

In this example, we will create five two dimensional tensors and join them vertically using the torch.vstack() function.

#import torch module

import torch

 

 

#create 5 tensors with 2 Dimensions each

data1 = torch.tensor([[10,20,40,50],[1,2,3,4]])

data2 = torch.tensor([[2,3,4,5],[20,70,89,0]])

data3 = torch.tensor([[12,4,5,6],[56,34,56,787]])

data4 = torch.tensor([[100,1,2,3],[67,87,6,78]])

data5 = torch.tensor([[120,33,56,78],[45,56,78,6]])

 

#display

print("Actual Tensors: ")

print(data1)

print(data2)

print(data3)

print(data4)

print(data5)

 

#join five tensors

print("Joined Tensor: ",torch.vstack((data1,data2,data3,data4,data5)))

Output:

Actual Tensors:

tensor([[10, 20, 40, 50],

[ 1, 2, 3, 4]])

tensor([[ 2, 3, 4, 5],

[20, 70, 89, 0]])

tensor([[ 12, 4, 5, 6],

[ 56, 34, 56, 787]])

tensor([[100, 1, 2, 3],

[ 67, 87, 6, 78]])

tensor([[120, 33, 56, 78],

[ 45, 56, 78, 6]])

Joined Tensor: tensor([[ 10, 20, 40, 50],

[ 1, 2, 3, 4],

[ 2, 3, 4, 5],

[ 20, 70, 89, 0],

[ 12, 4, 5, 6],

[ 56, 34, 56, 787],

[100, 1, 2, 3],

[ 67, 87, 6, 78],

[120, 33, 56, 78],

[ 45, 56, 78, 6]])

Five tensors are joined vertically.

Work with CPU

If you want to run a vstack() function on the CPU, we have to create a tensor with a cpu() function. This will run on a CPU machine.

When we create a tensor, this time, we can use the cpu() function.

Syntax:

torch.tensor(data).cpu()

Example 1:

In this example, we will create two one dimensional tensors on the cpu and join them vertically using the torch.vstack() function.

#import torch module

import torch

 

#create 2 tensors

data1 = torch.tensor([10,20,40,50]).cpu()

data2 = torch.tensor([2,3,4,5]).cpu()

#display

print("Actual Tensors: ")

print(data1)

print(data2)

 

#join two tensors

print("Joined Tensor: ",torch.vstack((data1,data2)))

Output:

Actual Tensors:

tensor([10, 20, 40, 50])

tensor([2, 3, 4, 5])

Joined Tensor: tensor([[10, 20, 40, 50],

[ 2, 3, 4, 5]])

Two tensors are joined vertically.

Example 2:

In this example, we will create five one dimensional tensors on the cpu and join them vertically using the torch.vstack() function.

#import torch module

import torch

 

 

#create 5 tensors

data1 = torch.tensor([10,20,40,50]).cpu()

data2 = torch.tensor([2,3,4,5]).cpu()

data3 = torch.tensor([12,45,67,89]).cpu()

data4 = torch.tensor([100,32,45,67]).cpu()

data5 = torch.tensor([120,456,1,1]).cpu()

 

#display

print("Actual Tensors: ")

print(data1)

print(data2)

print(data3)

print(data4)

print(data5)

 

#join five tensors

print("Joined Tensor: ",torch.vstack((data1,data2,data3,data4,data5)))

Output:

Actual Tensors:

tensor([10, 20, 40, 50])

tensor([2, 3, 4, 5])

tensor([12, 45, 67, 89])

tensor([100, 32, 45, 67])

tensor([120, 456, 1, 1])

Joined Tensor: tensor([[ 10, 20, 40, 50],

[ 2, 3, 4, 5],

[ 12, 45, 67, 89],

[100, 32, 45, 67],

[120, 456, 1, 1]])

data4 = torch.tensor([[100,1,2,3],[67,87,6,78]]).cpu()

data5 = torch.tensor([[120,33,56,78],[45,56,78,6]]).cpu()

print(data2)

print(data3)

print(data4)
