Documentation

treetensor.torch.sign(input, *args, **kwargs)

Returns a tree of new tensors with the signs of the elements of input.

Examples:

>>> import torch
>>> import treetensor.torch as ttorch
>>> ttorch.sign(ttorch.tensor([12, 0, -3]))
tensor([ 1,  0, -1])

>>> ttorch.sign(ttorch.tensor({
...     'a': [12, 0, -3],
...     'b': {'x': [[-3, 1], [0, -2]]},
... }))
<Tensor 0x7f1c81d02d30>
├── a --> tensor([ 1,  0, -1])
└── b --> <Tensor 0x7f1c81d02a60>
    └── x --> tensor([[-1,  1],
                      [ 0, -1]])

Description From Torch v2.0.1+cu117

torch.sign(input, *, out=None) → Tensor

Returns a new tensor with the signs of the elements of input.

\[\text{out}_{i} = \operatorname{sgn}(\text{input}_{i})\]

Args:

input (Tensor): the input tensor.

Keyword args:

out (Tensor, optional): the output tensor.

Example:

>>> a = torch.tensor([0.7, -1.2, 0., 2.3])
>>> a
tensor([ 0.7000, -1.2000,  0.0000,  2.3000])
>>> torch.sign(a)
tensor([ 1., -1.,  0.,  1.])
