Tensor Manipulation

In the coming lessons, we’ll explore neural networks with the PyTorch library. Images are a form of data easily consumable by a neural network. Therefore, in many situations, neural networks can help us in automated inspection.

Before diving into the internal operators of a neural network, we must take a closer look at the data format that each component will process as input and output: the tensor.

What is a tensor?

A tensor is a multidimensional array.

Note: If you have used the NumPy module, you’ve probably manipulated numpy.array objects, which are tensors.

You can create a numpy.array object and convert it to a torch.Tensor object with the function torch.from_numpy().
