torch.linalg.vecdot#

torch.linalg.vecdot(x,y,*,dim=-1,out=None)Tensor#

Computes the dot product of two batches of vectors along a dimension.

In symbols, this function computes

i=1nxiyi.\sum_{i=1}^n \overline{x_i}y_i.

over the dimensiondim wherexi\overline{x_i} denotes the conjugate for complexvectors, and it is the identity for real vectors.

Supports input of half, bfloat16, float, double, cfloat, cdouble and integral dtypes.It also supports broadcasting.

Parameters
  • x (Tensor) – first batch of vectors of shape(*, n).

  • y (Tensor) – second batch of vectors of shape(*, n).

Keyword Arguments
  • dim (int) – Dimension along which to compute the dot product. Default:-1.

  • out (Tensor,optional) – output tensor. Ignored ifNone. Default:None.

Examples:

>>>v1=torch.randn(3,2)>>>v2=torch.randn(3,2)>>>linalg.vecdot(v1,v2)tensor([ 0.3223,  0.2815, -0.1944])>>>torch.vdot(v1[0],v2[0])tensor(0.3223)
