chainer.functions.get_item¶

chainer.functions.get_item(x, slices)[source]¶

Extract elements from array with specified shape, axes and offsets.

Parameters

x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – A variable to be sliced.
slices (int, slice, Ellipsis, None, integer array-like, boolean array-like or tuple of them) – An object to specify the selection of elements.

Returns

A Variable object which contains sliced array of x.

Note

It only supports types that are supported by CUDA’s atomicAdd when an integer array is included in slices. The supported types are numpy.float32, numpy.int32, numpy.uint32, numpy.uint64 and numpy.ulonglong.

Note

It does not support slices that contains multiple boolean arrays.

Note

See NumPy documentation for details of indexing.

Example

>>> x = np.arange(12).reshape((2, 2, 3))
>>> x
array([[[ 0,  1,  2],
        [ 3,  4,  5]],
<BLANKLINE>
       [[ 6,  7,  8],
        [ 9, 10, 11]]])
>>> F.get_item(x, 0)
variable([[0, 1, 2],
          [3, 4, 5]])
>>> F.get_item(x, (0, 0, slice(0, 2, 1)))  # equals x[0, 0, 0:2:1]
variable([0, 1])
>>> F.get_item(x, (Ellipsis, 2))  # equals x[..., 2]
variable([[ 2,  5],
          [ 8, 11]])
>>> F.get_item(x, (1, np.newaxis, 1, 0))  # equals x[1, None, 1, 0]
variable([9])
