Hello everyone,
I am pretty new in PyTorch (and python) and therefore this issue confuses me a lot.
I have a LSTM and I use it to process batch of sentences. The task is not important for my question. Basically, I use the final hidden state of the LSTM and multiply it wit a 2 dimensional linear weight matrix. Here is a snippet to illustrate what I’ve described:
>>>BatchSize=2
>>>EmbeddingSize=5
>>>VocabularySize=3
>>> HiddenSize = 4
>>>instance1 = [0,0,1,2,1,0] # a sentence contains 6 words
>>>instance2 = [0,1,2,1]      # another sentence containing 4 words
>>>batch = [instance1,instance2]
>>>lstm = nn.LSTM(EmbeddingSize,HiddenSize,num_layers=1,bidirectional=False)
>>>emb = nn.Embedding(VocabularySize,EmbeddingSize)
>>>embedded  = [emb(torch.tensor(s)) for s in batch]        
>>>packed    = nn.utils.rnn.pack_sequence(embedded)
>>>output,(h,c)  = lstm(packed)
>>>print(h.shape," ",c.shape) 
torch.Size([1, 2, 4])   torch.Size([1, 2, 4])

Now, I want to reshape it to batchSizexHiddenSize dimensional tensor. I can do it as follows:
h = torch.reshape(h,(BatchSize,HiddenSize))
But I wonder, if such an operation causes values from different instances to mixed ?
Please let me know if my question is not clear.
