torch中x = x.view(..., -1)的解释

torch中在分类器中，经常会遇到：

x = x.view(x.size(0),-1)

其实在torch里面，view函数就相当于numpy的reshape，执行的操作就是对tensor进行维度转换。

import torch
x = torch.rand(2, 3, 4, 5) # 随机生成4 * 3 * 17 * 17 的数组
print("x.shape ==",x.shape) # 输出x的维度
print(x)

# 输出维度
x.shape ==torch.Size([2, 3, 4, 5])
# 生成的x

执行view函数

x = x.view(x.size(0),-1)

x.shape == torch.Size([2, 60])

view(xxx,-1)
即，这边的这里-1表示一个不确定的数，就是你如果不确定你想要reshape成几行，但是你很肯定要reshape成xxx列。

上述例子中，

x = x.view(x.size(0),-1) 等价于  x = x.view(x.size(0),60)
