mindspore.ops.randn

mindspore.ops.randn(*size, dtype=None, seed=None)[source]

Return a new tensor with given shape and dtype, filled with random numbers from the standard normal distribution.

Warning

  • Non-backward-compatible change after version 2.9.0: parameter seed will be removed, parameter generator will be added, and the *size form will be adjusted to size.

  • The Ascend backend does not support the reproducibility of random numbers, so the seed parameter has no effect.

Parameters

size (Union[int, tuple(int), list(int)]) – Shape of the output tensor.

Keyword Arguments

  • dtype (mindspore.dtype, optional) – The data type returned. Default None .

  • seed (int, optional) – Random seed, must be non-negative. Default None .

Returns

Tensor

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU CPU
