clamped_length#

iskra.geometry.distances.clamped_length(x: Tensor, dim: int | tuple[int, ...] = -1, keepdim: bool = False, eps: float = 1e-06) → Tensor[SOURCE]#

Computes the lengths of a set of vectors and then clamps them.

Helps avoid numerical issues when computing lengths of vectors, such as:

  • The gradient of the square-root tends to infinitey as we get closer to zero.

  • We often wish to divide by length, which also explodes around zero.

Parameters:

  • x (Tensor[Float, [Bs, Dim]]) – Set of vectors.

  • dim (int | tuple[int, ...]) – The dimension(s) along which to compute lengths.

  • keepdim (bool) – Whether to reduce the selected dimensions or to keep them with the length one.

  • eps (float) – The _length_ will be clamped to this minimum value.

Returns:

​ (Tensor[Any, [Bs] | [Bs, 1]]) – Lengths of vectors along dimension dim. Last dimension of output is 1 if keepdim=True, otherwise it is removed.
