torch.Tensor.index_copy_

Tensor.index_copy_(dim, index, tensor) → Tensor

Copies the elements of tensor into the self tensor by selecting the indices in the order given in index. For example, if dim == 0 and index[i] == j, then the ith row of tensor is copied to the jth row of self.

The dimth dimension of tensor must have the same size as the length of index (which must be a vector), and all other dimensions must match self, or an error will be raised.

Note

If index contains duplicate entries, multiple elements from tensor will be copied to the same index of self. The result is nondeterministic since it depends on which copy occurs last.

Parameters

• dim (int) – dimension along which to index

• index (LongTensor) – indices of tensor to select from

• tensor (Tensor) – the tensor containing values to copy

Example:

>>> x = torch.zeros(5, 3)
>>> t = torch.tensor([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]], dtype=torch.float)
>>> index = torch.tensor([0, 4, 2])
>>> x.index_copy_(0, index, t)
tensor([[ 1.,  2.,  3.],
        [ 0.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 7.,  8.,  9.],
        [ 0.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 4.,  5.,  6.]])
