Named Tensors operator coverage
Named Tensors operator coverage¶
Please read Named Tensors first for an introduction to named tensors.
This document is a reference for name inference, a process that defines how named tensors:
use names to provide additional automatic runtime correctness checks
propagate names from input tensors to output tensors
Below is a list of all operations that are supported with named tensors and their associated name inference rules.
If you don’t see an operation listed here, but it would help your use case, pleasesearch if an issue has already been filed and if not, file one.
Warning
The named tensor API is experimental and subject to change.

Keeps input names¶
All pointwise unary functions follow this rule as well as some other unary functions.
Check names: None
Propagate names: input tensor’s names are propagated to the output.
>>> x = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('N', 'C'))>>> x.abs().names('N', 'C')
Removes dimensions¶
All reduction ops like sum()
remove dimensions by reducing
over the desired dimensions. Other operations like select()
andsqueeze()
remove dimensions.
Wherever one can pass an integer dimension index to an operator, one can also pass a dimension name. Functions that take lists of dimension indices can also take in a list of dimension names.
Check names: If
dim
ordims
is passed in as a list of names, check that those names exist inself
.Propagate names: If the dimensions of the input tensor specified by
dim
ordims
are not present in the output tensor, then the corresponding names of those dimensions do not appear inoutput.names
.
>>> x = torch.randn(1, 3, 3, 3, names=('N', 'C', 'H', 'W'))>>> x.squeeze('N').names('C', 'H', 'W')>>> x = torch.randn(3, 3, 3, 3, names=('N', 'C', 'H', 'W'))>>> x.sum(['N', 'C']).names('H', 'W')# Reduction ops with keepdim=True don't actually remove dimensions.>>> x = torch.randn(3, 3, 3, 3, names=('N', 'C', 'H', 'W'))>>> x.sum(['N', 'C'], keepdim=True).names('N', 'C', 'H', 'W')
Unifies names from inputs¶
All binary arithmetic ops follow this rule. Operations that broadcast still
broadcast positionally from the right to preserve compatibility with unnamed
tensors. To perform explicit broadcasting by names, use Tensor.align_as()
.
Check names: All names must match positionally from the right. i.e., in
tensor + other
,match(tensor.names[i], other.names[i])
must be true for alli
in(-min(tensor.dim(), other.dim()) + 1, -1]
.Check names: Furthermore, all named dimensions must be aligned from the right. During matching, if we match a named dimension
A
with an unnamed dimensionNone
, thenA
must not appear in the tensor with the unnamed dimension.Propagate names: unify pairs of names from the right from both tensors to produce output names.
For example,
# tensor: Tensor[ N, None]# other: Tensor[None, C]>>> tensor = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('N', None))>>> other = torch.randn(3, 3, names=(None, 'C'))>>> (tensor + other).names('N', 'C')
Check names:
match(tensor.names[-1], other.names[-1])
isTrue
match(tensor.names[-2], tensor.names[-2])
isTrue
Because we matched
None
intensor
with'C'
, check to make sure'C'
doesn’t exist intensor
(it does not).Check to make sure
'N'
doesn’t exists inother
(it does not).
Finally, the output names are computed with[unify('N', None), unify(None, 'C')] = ['N', 'C']
More examples:
# Dimensions don't match from the right:# tensor: Tensor[N, C]# other: Tensor[ N]>>> tensor = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('N', 'C'))>>> other = torch.randn(3, names=('N',))>>> (tensor + other).namesRuntimeError: Error when attempting to broadcast dims ['N', 'C'] and dims['N']: dim 'C' and dim 'N' are at the same position from the right but donot match.# Dimensions aren't aligned when matching tensor.names[-1] and other.names[-1]:# tensor: Tensor[N, None]# other: Tensor[ N]>>> tensor = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('N', None))>>> other = torch.randn(3, names=('N',))>>> (tensor + other).namesRuntimeError: Misaligned dims when attempting to broadcast dims ['N'] anddims ['N', None]: dim 'N' appears in a different position from the rightacross both lists.
Note
In both of the last examples, it is possible to align the tensors by names
and then perform the addition. Use Tensor.align_as()
to align
tensors by name or Tensor.align_to()
to align tensors to a custom
dimension ordering.
Permutes dimensions¶
Some operations, like Tensor.t()
, permute the order of dimensions. Dimension names
are attached to individual dimensions so they get permuted as well.
If the operator takes in positional index dim
, it is also able to take a dimension
name as dim
.
Check names: If
dim
is passed as a name, check that it exists in the tensor.Propagate names: Permute dimension names in the same way as the dimensions that are being permuted.
>>> x = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('N', 'C'))>>> x.transpose('N', 'C').names('C', 'N')
Contracts away dims¶
Matrix multiply functions follow some variant of this. Let’s go throughtorch.mm()
first and then generalize the rule for batch matrix multiplication.
For torch.mm(tensor, other)
:
Check names: None
Propagate names: result names are
(tensor.names[-2], other.names[-1])
.
>>> x = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('N', 'D'))>>> y = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('in', 'out'))>>> x.mm(y).names('N', 'out')
Inherently, a matrix multiplication performs a dot product over two dimensions, collapsing them. When two tensors are matrix-multiplied, the contracted dimensions disappear and do not show up in the output tensor.
torch.mv()
, torch.dot()
work in a similar way: name inference does not
check input names and removes the dimensions that are involved in the dot product:
>>> x = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('N', 'D'))>>> y = torch.randn(3, names=('something',))>>> x.mv(y).names('N',)
Now, let’s take a look at torch.matmul(tensor, other)
. Assume that tensor.dim() >= 2
and other.dim() >= 2
.
Check names: Check that the batch dimensions of the inputs are aligned and broadcastable. See Unifies names from inputs for what it means for the inputs to be aligned.
Propagate names: result names are obtained by unifying the batch dimensions and removing the contracted dimensions:
unify(tensor.names[:-2], other.names[:-2]) + (tensor.names[-2], other.names[-1])
.
Examples:
# Batch matrix multiply of matrices Tensor['C', 'D'] and Tensor['E', 'F'].# 'A', 'B' are batch dimensions.>>> x = torch.randn(3, 3, 3, 3, names=('A', 'B', 'C', 'D'))>>> y = torch.randn(3, 3, 3, names=('B', 'E', 'F'))>>> torch.matmul(x, y).names('A', 'B', 'C', 'F')
Finally, there are fused add
versions of many matmul functions. i.e., addmm()
and addmv()
. These are treated as composing name inference for i.e. mm()
and
name inference for add()
.
Factory functions¶
Factory functions now take a new names
argument that associates a name
with each dimension.
>>> torch.zeros(2, 3, names=('N', 'C'))tensor([[0., 0., 0.], [0., 0., 0.]], names=('N', 'C'))
out function and in-place variants¶
A tensor specified as an out=
tensor has the following behavior:
If it has no named dimensions, then the names computed from the operation get propagated to it.
If it has any named dimensions, then the names computed from the operation must be exactly equal to the existing names. Otherwise, the operation errors.
All in-place methods modify inputs to have names equal to the computed names from name inference. For example,
>>> x = torch.randn(3, 3)>>> y = torch.randn(3, 3, names=('N', 'C'))>>> x.names(None, None)>>> x += y>>> x.names('N', 'C')
