Random integers

1

Is there anything similar to NumPy random.randint to generate random integers between a certain range?

torch.rand outputs a tensor fill out with random numbers within [0,1). You can use that and convert it to the range [l,r) using a formula like l + torch.rand() * (r - l) and then converting them to integers as usual.

You could also directly set the range using:

torch.LongTensor(10).random_(0, 10)

where numbers define the lower and upper bound, respectively.

PyTorch also supports randint: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/torch.html#torch.randint

torch.randint(3, 5, (3,))
tensor([ 4.,  3.,  4.])

this should work:

import torch

batch_size = 16
y = torch.randint(low=0,high=Dout,size=(batch_size,))
