torch.mm、torch.matmul 和 torch.mul 有什么区别？

阅读完 pytorch 文档后，我仍然需要帮助来理解之间的区别torch.mm, torch.matmul and torch.mul。由于我不完全理解它们，所以我无法简明地解释这一点。

B = torch.tensor([[ 1.1207],
        [-0.3137],
        [ 0.0700],
        [ 0.8378]])

C = torch.tensor([[ 0.5146,  0.1216, -0.5244,  2.2382]])

print(torch.mul(B,C))

print(torch.matmul(B,C))

print(torch.mm(B,C))

所有三个都会产生以下输出（即它们执行矩阵乘法）：

tensor([[ 0.5767,  0.1363, -0.5877,  2.5084],
        [-0.1614, -0.0381,  0.1645, -0.7021],
        [ 0.0360,  0.0085, -0.0367,  0.1567],
        [ 0.4311,  0.1019, -0.4393,  1.8752]])

A = torch.tensor([[1.8351,2.1536], [-0.8320,-1.4578]])
B = torch.tensor([[2.9355, 0.3450], [0.5708, 1.9957]])
print(torch.mul(A,B))
print(torch.matmul(A,B))
print(torch.mm(A,B))

不同的产生输出。 torch.mm 不再执行矩阵乘法（而是广播并执行逐元素乘法，而其他两个仍然执行矩阵乘法。

print(torch.mm(tensor1,tensor2))

输出是一切都不同。我认为torch.mul广播矩阵的每 4 个元素并将其乘以向量，tensor2，即[-0.2267, 0.6311, -0.5689, 1.2712] x tensor 2 元素方面，[-0.0241, -0.5362, 0.5481, -0.4534] x tensor 2元素方面等等。我不明白什么 torch.matmul是在做。我认为这与文档的第五个要点有关（如果两个参数......），但我无法理解这一点。https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/ generated/torch.matmul.html https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.matmul.html

我认为原因torch.mm无法产生输出是因为它无法广播（如果我错了，请纠正我）。

简而言之：

• torch.mm- 执行矩阵乘法没有广播-（二维张量）by（二维张量）
• torch.mul- 执行一个逐元素乘法与广播-（张量）by（张量或数）
• torch.matmul- 矩阵乘积与广播-（张量）by（张量）根据张量形状（点积、矩阵积、批量矩阵积）具有不同的行为。

一些细节：

1. torch.mm- 执行矩阵乘法没有广播

它需要两个 2D 张量，所以n×m * m×p = n×p

从文档中https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/ generated/torch.mm.html https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.mm.html:

This function does not broadcast. For broadcasting matrix products, see torch.matmul().

2. torch.mul- 执行一个逐元素乘法与广播-（张量）by（张量或数）

Docs: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/ generated/torch.mul.html https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.mul.html

torch.mul不执行矩阵乘法。它广播两个张量并执行元素乘法。因此，当您将其与张量 1x4 * 4x1 一起使用时，其工作原理类似于：

import torch

a = torch.FloatTensor([[1], [2], [3]])
b = torch.FloatTensor([[1, 10, 100]])
a, b = torch.broadcast_tensors(a, b)
print(a)
print(b)
print(a * b)

tensor([[1., 1., 1.],
        [2., 2., 2.],
        [3., 3., 3.]])
tensor([[  1.,  10., 100.],
        [  1.,  10., 100.],
        [  1.,  10., 100.]])
tensor([[  1.,  10., 100.],
        [  2.,  20., 200.],
        [  3.,  30., 300.]])

3. torch.matmul

最好还是看看官方文档https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/ generated/torch.matmul.html https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.matmul.html因为它根据输入张量使用不同的模式。它可以通过广播执行点积、矩阵-矩阵积或批量矩阵积。

至于您关于以下产品的问题：

tensor1 = torch.randn(10, 3, 4)
tensor2 = torch.randn(4)

它是产品的批量版本。请检查这个简单的例子来理解：

import torch

# 3x1x3
a = torch.FloatTensor([[[1, 2, 3]], [[3, 4, 5]], [[6, 7, 8]]])
# 3
b = torch.FloatTensor([1, 10, 100])
r1 = torch.matmul(a, b)

r2 = torch.stack((
    torch.matmul(a[0], b),
    torch.matmul(a[1], b),
    torch.matmul(a[2], b),
))
assert torch.allclose(r1, r2)

因此它可以看作是跨批次维度堆叠在一起的多个操作。
