Hi there,
During the creation of one of my networks I stumbled across something which I found rather weird. I wanted to check the accuracy of my network by doing

Pred == Labels

I would expect to get back a 1D tensor with the size of my batch. Instead I got a tensor of size batch x batch. I don’t really get why this happens though. When looking deeper I found that Pred would be a tensor of size batch and Labels a tensor of size (batch x 1).  I would’ve thought that a tensor of size n and a tensor of size (n x 1) would get treated the same but apparently it isn’t. Can anyone tell me why this is?
If you want to test this yourself try this piece of code

import torch
a = torch.randn(16)
b = torch.randn((16,1))
a.random_(1,16) #just to get some values the same
b.random_(1,16)
a == b # weird?
a == b.view(16) #expected output

The way i had to solve this was by reshaping the Labels by using view to drop that extra dimension (see example code).
Thanks in advance!
