How to Insert Data into Tensors?

To insert data into tensors, we can directly assign values to specific elements or slices within the tensor.

In the code:

  • Original Tensor:
    • Represents a 3×3 matrix with values [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9].
  • Updating a Specific Element:
    • Assigns the value 10 to the element at row index 1 and column index 1.
    • Result: [4, 10, 6] replaces the original value 5.
  • Updating a Row with a Slice:
    • Assigns a new row [11, 12, 13] to the first row of the tensor.
    • Result: [11, 12, 13] replaces the original row [1, 2, 3].

Python3




# Inserting data into tensors
tensor_2d_edit = tf.Variable(tensor_2d, dtype=tf.int32)
 
# Inserting data into a tensor
tensor_2d_edit[1, 1].assign(10# Assigning a new value to a specific element
print("\nUpdated Tensor:")
print(tensor_2d_edit.numpy())
 
# Inserting data into a slice of the tensor
tensor_2d_edit[0, :].assign([11, 12, 13])  # Assigning a new row of values
print("\nUpdated Tensor with Slice:")
print(tensor_2d_edit.numpy())


Output:

Updated Tensor:
[[ 1 2 3]
[ 4 10 6]
[ 7 8 9]]
Updated Tensor with Slice:
[[11 12 13]
[ 4 10 6]
[ 7 8 9]]




Inserting and Subtracting Values from a Tensor

  • We use tf.tensor_scatter_nd_add to insert values [6, 5, 4] at the specified indices [[0, 2], [1, 1], [2, 0]] into the tensor t11.
  • We use tf.tensor_scatter_nd_sub to subtract values [2, 1, 3] from the tensor t12 at the specified indices [[0, 0], [1, 2], [2, 1]].

Python3




# Define the tensor
t11 = tf.constant([[2, 7, 0],
                   [9, 0, 1],
                   [0, 3, 8]])
 
# Insert numbers at appropriate indices to convert into a magic square
t12 = tf.tensor_scatter_nd_add(t11,
                               indices=[[0, 2], [1, 1], [2, 0]],
                               updates=[6, 5, 4])
 
print("Tensor with Inserted Values:")
print(t12.numpy())
 
# Subtract values from the tensor with pre-existing values
t13 = tf.tensor_scatter_nd_sub(t12,
                               indices=[[0, 0], [1, 2], [2, 1]],
                               updates=[2, 1, 3])
 
print("\nTensor with Subtracted Values:")
print(t13.numpy())


Output:

Tensor with Inserted Values:
[[2 7 6]
[9 5 1]
[4 3 8]]
Tensor with Subtracted Values:
[[0 7 6]
[9 5 0]
[4 0 8]]



Creating a Sparse Tensor

  • We define the shape of the sparse tensor as [3, 3].
  • We specify the indices and values of the non-zero elements. Here, the indices represent the positions of the diagonal elements of the identity matrix, and the values are all set to 1.
  • Using tf.scatter_nd, we reconstruct the sparse tensor by scattering the non-zero values at the specified indices into a zero-initialized tensor of the given shape.

Python3




import tensorflow as tf
 
# Define the shape of the sparse tensor
shape = [3, 3]
 
# Extract indices and values for the non-zero elements (diagonal elements of identity matrix)
indices = tf.constant([[0, 0], [1, 1], [2, 2]])
values = tf.constant([1, 1, 1])
 
# Reconstruct the sparse tensor using tf.scatter_nd
sparse_tensor = tf.scatter_nd(indices, values, shape)
 
# Print the sparse tensor
print("Sparse Tensor:")
print(sparse_tensor.numpy())


Output:

Sparse Tensor:
[[1 0 0]
[0 1 0]
[0 0 1]]



The resulting sparse tensor represents the 3×3 identity matrix with non-zero diagonal elements.
