NNT Tensor Operations Input Parameters:

operation

The operation parameter specifies the type of tensor operation to be performed. It accepts a variety of operations such as add_tensors, subtract_tensors, multiply_tensors_elementwise, matrix_multiply_tensors, transpose_tensor, inverse_tensor, add_scalar_to_tensor, multiply_tensor_by_scalar, gradient, gradient_norm, jacobian, and hessian. The default operation is add_tensors. This parameter determines the computational task executed by the node, directly impacting the resulting tensor and its properties.

tensor_a

The tensor_a parameter is the primary tensor input on which the specified operation will be performed. It is a required parameter and serves as the main data structure for computation. The characteristics of tensor_a, such as its shape and data type, influence the outcome of the operation and the feasibility of certain tasks, like matrix multiplication or inversion.

tensor_b

The tensor_b parameter is an optional tensor input used in operations that require two tensors, such as addition, subtraction, element-wise multiplication, and matrix multiplication. If the operation involves two tensors, tensor_b must be provided; otherwise, an error will occur. The compatibility of tensor_b with tensor_a in terms of shape and dimensions is crucial for successful execution.

scalar_value

The scalar_value parameter is an optional floating-point number used in operations that involve scalar-tensor interactions, such as adding a scalar to a tensor or multiplying a tensor by a scalar. The default value is 1.0. This parameter allows you to scale or shift the values in tensor_a, providing flexibility in data manipulation.

custom_expression

The custom_expression parameter is an optional string that defines a custom mathematical expression to be evaluated on tensor_a. The default expression is tensor_a * 2. This parameter enables you to apply specific transformations or calculations on the tensor, offering a customizable approach to tensor operations.

grad_tensor

The grad_tensor parameter specifies which tensor's gradient should be computed during operations involving differentiation. It can be set to either tensor_a or tensor_b, with the default being tensor_a. This parameter is essential for tasks that require gradient information, such as optimization and sensitivity analysis.

NNT Tensor Operations Output Parameters:

result_tensor

The result_tensor is the primary output of the node, representing the result of the specified tensor operation. It contains the transformed or computed data based on the input parameters and the chosen operation. The nature of result_tensor varies depending on the operation, ranging from a simple arithmetic result to a complex matrix like a Jacobian or Hessian.

gradient_tensor

The gradient_tensor is an output that provides the gradient information of the specified tensor, as determined by the grad_tensor parameter. This output is particularly important for operations involving differentiation, as it offers insights into how changes in the input tensor affect the result, aiding in model optimization and analysis.

info_message

The info_message is a string output that provides a brief description of the operation performed and its outcome. It serves as a helpful log or feedback mechanism, confirming the successful execution of the operation and offering context about the result.

NNT Tensor Operations Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the dimensions of tensor_a and tensor_b are compatible for operations like addition, subtraction, and matrix multiplication to avoid errors.
• Utilize the custom_expression parameter to apply unique transformations to tensor_a, allowing for creative and tailored data manipulations.
• When working with differentiation operations, ensure that tensor_a is set to require gradients by using the .requires_grad_(True) method to enable gradient computation.

NNT Tensor Operations Common Errors and Solutions:

tensor_b is required for addition.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the add_tensors operation is selected, but tensor_b is not provided.
• Solution: Ensure that tensor_b is supplied as an input when performing addition operations.

tensor_b is required for subtraction.

• Explanation: This error arises when the subtract_tensors operation is chosen without providing tensor_b.
• Solution: Provide tensor_b as an input to execute subtraction operations successfully.

tensor_b is required for element-wise multiplication.

• Explanation: This error is triggered when the multiply_tensors_elementwise operation is selected, but tensor_b is missing.
• Solution: Include tensor_b as an input to perform element-wise multiplication.

tensor_b is required for matrix multiplication.

• Explanation: This error occurs when the matrix_multiply_tensors operation is selected without tensor_b.
• Solution: Ensure that tensor_b is provided and that its dimensions are compatible with tensor_a for matrix multiplication.

Unsupported operation: <operation>

• Explanation: This error indicates that the specified operation is not recognized or supported by the node.
• Solution: Verify that the operation parameter is set to a valid and supported operation name.
