tensorflow function笔记: tf.expand_dims and tf.squeeze

tf.expand_dims()

Function

tf.expand_dims(input, axis=None, name=None, dim=None)

Inserts a dimension of 1 into a tensor’s shape.
在第axis位置增加一个维度

Given a tensor input, this operation inserts a dimension of 1 at the dimension index axis of input’s shape. The dimension index axis starts at zero; if you specify a negative number for axis it is counted backward from the end.

This operation is useful if you want to add a batch dimension to a single element. For example, if you have a single image of shape [height, width, channels], you can make it a batch of 1 image with expand_dims(image, 0), which will make the shape [1, height, width, channels].

For example:

# 't' is a tensor of shape [2]
shape(expand_dims(t, 0)) ==> [1, 2]
shape(expand_dims(t, 1)) ==> [2, 1]
shape(expand_dims(t, -1)) ==> [2, 1]
# 't2' is a tensor of shape [2, 3, 5]
shape(expand_dims(t2, 0)) ==> [1, 2, 3, 5]
shape(expand_dims(t2, 2)) ==> [2, 3, 1, 5]
shape(expand_dims(t2, 3)) ==> [2, 3, 5, 1]

Args:

input: A Tensor.
axis: 0-D (scalar). Specifies the dimension index at which to expand the shape of input.
name: The name of the output Tensor.
dim: 0-D (scalar). Equivalent to axis, to be deprecated.

Returns:

A Tensor with the same data as input, but its shape has an additional dimension of size 1 added.

tf.squeeze()

Function

tf.squeeze(input, squeeze_dims=None, name=None)

Removes dimensions of size 1 from the shape of a tensor.
从tensor中删除所有大小是1的维度

Given a tensor input, this operation returns a tensor of the same type with all dimensions of size 1 removed. If you don’t want to remove all size 1 dimensions, you can remove specific size 1 dimensions by specifying squeeze_dims.
如果不想删除所有大小是1的维度，可以通过squeeze_dims指定。

For example:

# 't' is a tensor of shape [1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1]
shape(squeeze(t)) ==> [2, 3]
Or, to remove specific size 1 dimensions:

# 't' is a tensor of shape [1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1]
shape(squeeze(t, [2, 4])) ==> [1, 2, 3, 1]

Args:

input: A Tensor. The input to squeeze.
squeeze_dims: An optional list of ints. Defaults to []. If specified, only squeezes the dimensions listed. The dimension index starts at 0. It is an error to squeeze a dimension that is not 1.
name: A name for the operation (optional).

Returns:

A Tensor. Has the same type as input. Contains the same data as input, but has one or more dimensions of size 1 removed.
