Subset tensors with [

Description

Subset tensors with [

Usage

## S3 method for class 'tensorflow.tensor'

  x[
  ...,
  drop = TRUE,
  style = getOption("tensorflow.extract.style"),
  options = tf_extract_opts(style)
]

Arguments

x

Tensorflow tensor

...

slicing specs. See examples and details.

drop

whether to drop scalar dimensions

style

One of "python" or "R".

options

An object returned by tf_extract_opts()

Examples

## Not run: 

x <- as_tensor(array(1:15, dim = c(3, 5)))
x
# by default, numerics supplied to [...] are interpreted R style
x[,1]    # first column
x[1:2,]  # first two rows
x[,1, drop = FALSE] # 1 column matrix

# strided steps can be specified in R syntax or python syntax
x[, seq(1, 5, by = 2)]
x[, 1:5:2]
# if you are unfamiliar with python-style strided steps, see:
# https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/arrays.indexing.html#basic-slicing-and-indexing

# missing arguments for python syntax are valid, but they must by backticked
# or supplied as NULL
x[, `::2`]
x[, NULL:NULL:2]
x[, `2:`]


# all_dims() expands to the shape of the tensor
# (equivalent to a python ellipsis `...`)
# (not to be confused with R dots `...`)
y <- as_tensor(array(1:(3^5), dim = c(3,3,3,3,3)))
all.equal(y[all_dims(), 1],
          y[, , , , 1])

# tf$newaxis are valid (equivalent to a NULL)
x[,, tf$newaxis]
x[,, NULL]


# negative numbers are always interpreted python style
# The first time a negative number is supplied to `[`, a warning is issued
# about the non-standard behavior.
x[-1,]  # last row, with a warning
x[-1,]  # the warning is only issued once

# specifying `style = 'python'` changes the following:
# +  zero-based indexing is used
# +  slice sequences in the form of `start:stop` do not include `stop`
#    in the returned value
# +  out-of-bounds indices in a slice are valid

# The style argument can be supplied to individual calls of `[` or set
# as a global option

# example of zero based  indexing
x[0, , style = 'python']  # first row
x[1, , style = 'python']  # second row

# example of slices with exclusive stop
options(tensorflow.extract.style = 'python')
x[, 0:1]  # just the first column
x[, 0:2]  # first and second column

# example of out-of-bounds index
x[, 0:10]
options(tensorflow.extract.style = NULL)

# slicing with tensors is valid too, but note, tensors are never
# translated and are always interpreted python-style.
# A warning is issued the first time a tensor is passed to `[`
x[, tf$constant(0L):tf$constant(2L)]
# just as in python, only scalar tensors are valid
# https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/Tensor#__getitem__

# To silence the warnings about tensors being passed as-is and negative numbers
# being interpreted python-style, set
options(tensorflow.extract.style = 'R')

# clean up from examples
options(tensorflow.extract.style = NULL)
