Compute the Tensor Dot Product in Python

Given two tensors, a and b, and an array_like object containing two array_like objects, (a_axes, b_axes), sum the products of a’s and b’s elements (components) over the axes specified by a_axes and b_axes. The third argument can be a single non-negative integer_like scalar, N; if it is such, then the last N dimensions of a and the first N dimensions of b are summed over.

To compute the tensor dot product, use the numpy.tensordot() method in Python. The a, b parameters are Tensors to “dot”. The axes parameter, integer_like If an int N, sum over the last N axes of a and the first N axes of b in order. The sizes of the corresponding axes must match.

Steps

At first, import the required libraries −

import numpy as np

Creating two numpy 3D arrays using the array() method −

arr1 = np.arange(60.).reshape(3,4,5)
arr2 = np.arange(24.).reshape(4,3,2)

Display the arrays −

print("Array1...\n",arr1)
print("\nArray2...\n",arr2)

Check the Dimensions of both the arrays −

print("\nDimensions of Array1...\n",arr1.ndim)
print("\nDimensions of Array2...\n",arr2.ndim)

Check the Shape of both the arrays −

print("\nShape of Array1...\n",arr1.shape)
print("\nShape of Array2...\n",arr2.shape)

To compute the tensor dot product, use the numpy.tensordot() method in Python. The a, b parameters are Tensors to “dot” −

print("\nTensor dot product...\n", np.tensordot(arr1,arr2, axes=([1,0],[0,1])))

Example

import numpy as np

# Creating two numpy 3D arrays using the array() method
arr1 = np.arange(60.).reshape(3,4,5)
arr2 = np.arange(24.).reshape(4,3,2)

# Display the arrays
print("Array1...\n",arr1)
print("\nArray2...\n",arr2)

# Check the Dimensions of both the arrays
print("\nDimensions of Array1...\n",arr1.ndim)
print("\nDimensions of Array2...\n",arr2.ndim)

# Check the Shape of both the arrays
print("\nShape of Array1...\n",arr1.shape)
print("\nShape of Array2...\n",arr2.shape)

# To compute the tensor dot product, use the numpy.tensordot() method in Python
# The a, b parameters are Tensors to “dot”.
print("\nTensor dot product...\n", np.tensordot(arr1,arr2, axes=([1,0],[0,1])))
