How to Remove Zeros from a 1D Tensor in TensorFlow.js

When working with tensors in TensorFlow.js, you may encounter situations where you need to filter out certain values. One common requirement is to remove zeroes from a 1-dimensional tensor. This process is crucial for data preparation and ensures that further computations are based on relevant data only. In this post, we will walk through a simple solution that accomplishes this task efficiently.

Understanding the Problem

Consider a scenario where you have a 1D tensor that looks like this:

Your goal is to transform this tensor into another tensor that only contains the non-zero values, like so:

Step-by-Step Solution

To achieve the desired effect, we will leverage two powerful TensorFlow.js functions: tf.whereAsync and tf.gather. Below is a breakdown of how each function contributes to solving our problem.

Step 1: Identify Non-Zero Indices

First, we need to find the indices of the non-zero values in the tensor. This can be achieved using the tf.whereAsync function on the tensor casted to boolean. Here's the rationale behind this:

By casting the tensor to bool, all values that are not zero will become true, and the indices of these true values will effectively represent the non-zero values of the original tensor.

Step 2: Gather Non-Zero Values

Once we have the indices of the non-zero values, we can then create a new tensor that contains only those values using the tf.gather method. This function allows us to collect items from a tensor based on specified indices, which will be the indices we derived in the first step.

Example Code

Now, let’s see the implementation of this solution in code:

Explanation of the Code

Creating a Tensor: We create the initial 1D tensor using tf.tensor1d.

Finding Non-Zero Indices: We use await tf.whereAsync(t.cast('bool')) to get the indices where values are non-zero.

Gathering the Values: Finally, we gather the values from the original tensor using tf.gather(t, indices.reshape([-1])) and print the result.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily remove zero values from a 1D tensor in TensorFlow.js. This technique is not only simple but also efficient, ensuring that your tensor manipulations remain swift and effective. As you continue to work with tensors, mastering such operations will greatly enhance your data preprocessing capabilities.
