mxnet.ndarray.split¶

mxnet.ndarray.split(data=None, num_outputs=_Null, axis=_Null, squeeze_axis=_Null, out=None, name=None, **kwargs)¶

Splits an array along a particular axis into multiple sub-arrays.

Note

SliceChannel is deprecated. Use split instead.

Note that num_outputs should evenly divide the length of the axis along which to split the array.

Example:

x  = [[[ 1.]
       [ 2.]]
      [[ 3.]
       [ 4.]]
      [[ 5.]
       [ 6.]]]
x.shape = (3, 2, 1)

y = split(x, axis=1, num_outputs=2) // a list of 2 arrays with shape (3, 1, 1)
y = [[[ 1.]]
     [[ 3.]]
     [[ 5.]]]

    [[[ 2.]]
     [[ 4.]]
     [[ 6.]]]

y[0].shape = (3, 1, 1)

z = split(x, axis=0, num_outputs=3) // a list of 3 arrays with shape (1, 2, 1)
z = [[[ 1.]
      [ 2.]]]

    [[[ 3.]
      [ 4.]]]

    [[[ 5.]
      [ 6.]]]

z[0].shape = (1, 2, 1)

squeeze_axis=1 removes the axis with length 1 from the shapes of the output arrays. Note that setting squeeze_axis to 1 removes axis with length 1 only along the axis which it is split. Also squeeze_axis can be set to true only if input.shape[axis] == num_outputs.

Example:

z = split(x, axis=0, num_outputs=3, squeeze_axis=1) // a list of 3 arrays with shape (2, 1)
z = [[ 1.]
     [ 2.]]

    [[ 3.]
     [ 4.]]

    [[ 5.]
     [ 6.]]
z[0].shape = (2 ,1 )

Parameters

data (NDArray) – The input
num_outputs (int, required) – Number of splits. Note that this should evenly divide the length of the axis.
axis (int, optional, default='1') – Axis along which to split.
squeeze_axis (boolean, optional, default=0) – If true, Removes the axis with length 1 from the shapes of the output arrays. Note that setting squeeze_axis to true removes axis with length 1 only along the axis which it is split. Also squeeze_axis can be set to true only if input.shape[axis] == num_outputs.
out (NDArray, optional) – The output NDArray to hold the result.

Returns

out – The output of this function.

Return type

NDArray or list of NDArrays
