How to Create a 3D Tensor of Zeros with a Random '1' in NumPy and JAX

When working with multidimensional arrays in Python, you may encounter situations where you need to create a tensor or an array with specific properties. One such task is developing a 3D tensor filled with zeros, ensuring that each slice contains exactly one randomly placed 1. In this guide, we’ll explore how to achieve this efficiently without resorting to cumbersome loops. Specifically, we'll illustrate a solution using both NumPy and JAX.

Understanding the Problem

Let's break down what we need:

3D Tensor: We require a three-dimensional array (or tensor) of shape (5, 3, 2), meaning it has 5 slices, each with a 3x2 matrix.

Zeros and One: The tensor should contain zeros everywhere except for one position in each slice, which should contain the value 1.

Random Placement: The location of the 1 in each slice should be randomly determined.

For example, a resulting tensor might look like this:

The Efficient Solution

To create the desired tensor without using complex loops, we can leverage vectorized operations available in NumPy or JAX. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Generate a Random Array

First, we start by generating a random array of the shape we desire. Each element will have a random value from which we will determine the maximum value.

Step 2: Find the Maximum Value

Next, we need to find the maximum value of each slice along the desired axes (in this case, along the last two axes).

Step 3: Create the Tensor with One '1' in Each Slice

With the maximum values identified, we can now create our final output tensor by comparing the original random array to these maximum values and converting the result to integers:

This line checks where the maximum values occur and places a 1 there, while the rest of the tensor remains filled with 0s.

Example Code

Putting it all together, here’s the complete code:

Conclusion

By using vectorized operations in NumPy, we efficiently created a 3D tensor of zeros where each slice contains exactly one randomly placed 1. This method not only saves time by avoiding loops but also leverages the power of NumPy's optimized operations for better performance.

Feel free to adapt the dimensions of the tensor according to your needs, and harness this technique in your projects involving multidimensional data.
