Random Choice with Pytorch?

Random Choice with Pytorch?

In PyTorch, you can use the torch.choice function to perform random sampling from a tensor of choices. This function is similar to NumPy's numpy.random.choice function. Here's how you can use it:

import torch # Create a tensor of choices choices = torch.tensor([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) # Perform random choice chosen_value = torch.choice(choices, size=(1,)) print("Chosen value:", chosen_value.item())

In this example, choices is a tensor containing the possible values from which you want to make a random choice. The size argument specifies the shape of the output tensor.

Keep in mind that torch.choice performs the random sampling on the CPU. If you're working with GPU tensors, you might need to move the choices tensor to the CPU before using it with torch.choice.

If you want to perform random sampling with replacement, you can set the replacement argument to True:

chosen_values = torch.choice(choices, size=(num_samples,), replacement=True)

If you're working with probabilities associated with each choice, you can use the torch.multinomial function:

# Probabilities for each choice probabilities = torch.tensor([0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2]) # Perform random choice based on probabilities chosen_index = torch.multinomial(probabilities, num_samples=1) chosen_value = choices[chosen_index] print("Chosen value:", chosen_value.item())

Remember that when working with random sampling, the results can vary across different runs due to the random nature of the process.
