How to get the rank of a matrix in PyTorch

In this article, we are going to discuss how to get the rank of a matrix in PyTorch. we can get the rank of a matrix by using torch.linalg.matrix_rank() method.

torch.linalg.matrix_rank() method

matrix_rank() method accepts a matrix and a batch of matrices as the input. This method returns a new tensor with the rank of the input matrices and if the input is a batch of matrices then the output tensor also has the same batch dimensions as the input. the below syntax is used to get the rank of a matrix in PyTorch.

Syntax: torch.linalg.matrix_rank(mat)

Parameters:

  • mat: This is our input Matrix or a batch of matrices.

Returns: returns a tensor with the rank of the input matrix.

Example 1:

The following program is to understand how to get the rank of matrix.

Python3




# import torch module
import torch
  
# define a tensor
tens = torch.tensor([[0.5322, 0.9232, 0.232],
                     [0.1112, 0.2323, 0.2611],
                     [0.7556, 0.1217, 0.5435]])
  
# display tensor/matrix
print("\n Input Matrix: ")
print(tens)
  
# get the rank of input matrix
r = torch.linalg.matrix_rank(tens)
  
# display rank of matrix
print("\n Rank of input matrix: ", r)


Output:

 

Example 2:

The following program is to know how to get the rank of a batch of matrices.

Python3




# import torch module
import torch
  
# define a batch of matrix
# the below code create 2 matrix of 4x3
Batch = torch.rand(2, 4, 3)
  
# Display matrices
print("\n Batch of Matrices: ")
print(Batch)
  
# get ranks of the matrices
r = torch.linalg.matrix_rank(Batch)
  
# Display Result
print("\n Batch of matrices rank: ")
print(r)


Output:
