Embedding in pytorch

nn.Embedding holds a Tensor of dimension (vocab_size, vector_size), i.e. of the size of the vocabulary x the dimension of each vector embedding, and a method that does the lookup. When you create an embedding layer, the Tensor is initialised randomly. It is only when you train it when this similarity between similar words should appear. Unless you … Read more

Cudamemcpy function usage

It’s not trivial to handle a doubly-subscripted C array when copying data between host and device. For the most part, cudaMemcpy (including cudaMemcpy2D) expect an ordinary pointer for source and destination, not a pointer-to-pointer. The simplest approach (I think) is to “flatten” the 2D arrays, both on host and device, and use index arithmetic to simulate 2D coordinates: … Read more

How do you read from stdin?

You could use the fileinput module: fileinput will loop through all the lines in the input specified as file names given in command-line arguments, or the standard input if no arguments are provided. Note: line will contain a trailing newline; to remove it use line.rstrip()
