Hi all,
My torch version is 1.6.0.
And I can use torch.ger() method to calculate the outer product of two tensors.
For example, I can calculate the outer product of two vectors of shape 1x2 which gives me an output with shape 2x2.
But for example, if I store the tensors of shape 1 x 2 for which I want to calculate outer products with themselves in a batch tensor of shape N x 2  for example, I can’t do the batch calculation. At the end what I want is a solution tensor of shape N x 2 x 2 for example. Below are some example outputs
Would you please comment on how I can calculate this?
And then what I need further is to calculate the mean of the diagonal terms of the previous solution output which was of shape N x 2 x 2. My expected output for this part should be N x 1.
I think I also need in this part as well.
Thank you in advance
