The comparisons with `nan` and `inf` in PyTorch

Buy Me a Coffee

*Memos:

  • My post explains how to create nan and inf in PyTorch.
  • My post explains the arithmetic operations with nan and inf in PyTorch.

The comparisons with torch.nan and 100.0, torch.nan or torch.inf as shown below:

*Memos:

  • The comparisons(except !=) with nan are always False.
  • complex type cannot use >, <, >= and <=.
