Will check on it and let you know asap.

Hey @noahpgordon, sorry, but we have to close this PR as one is already present for tensor operations. I apologize for the mistake. You can get assigned for some other issue. Thank you!

@avdhoottt

I don't understand. This entry is a general overview of Tensors in PyTorch and is broader than the entry on Tensor Operations, which is presumably why these were created as two distinct issues. It covers many issues not covered on the operations entry, including creating and initializing tensors, tensor datatypes, and tensor shapes. It does not cover tensor operations in detail, in fact it actually links to the Tensor Operations page.

If the team wants only one page, why not merge the two, for example putting the content currently on Tensor Operations as a section of this page?

If there is going to be no page on Tensors generally but only Tensor Operations, where will the term entries like .size() and .view() go? It wouldn't make sense to put them all as term entries under Tensor Operations, since not all of them are operations on tensors. I'll also note that these term entries currently use a path file that uses this concept entry.

Edit: In fact, it seems a number of term entries were already approved and are awaiting this concept entry to appear on the main site, such as .ones(). It would make no sense to put this under Tensor Operations because it is a method for creating a tensor, not an operation on an existing tensor.

@noahpgordon, I understand what you are saying. I forgot to mention that I'll merge those two entries and give you credit as a co-author. We'll move the files under the Tensor operations concept entry. Thanks!!

[noahpgordon]

@avdhoottt That's fine, but wouldn't it make more sense to rename the Tensor Operations entry to Tensors then? There will be material on the concept entry and term entries under it that are not about tensor operations.

I'd be happy to make a PR making these changes (i.e. merging the content on Tensor Operations onto here and keeping the term entries under Tensors).

[noahpgordon]

@avdhoottt There are currently 8 term entries in the codebase that are invisible on the main site because this PR was closed, with the newest being added 3 days ago and the oldest 2 months ago. That's 8 people writing entries and 16 reviews, not including this PR. The original justification for closing this still makes no sense, since this page and the Tensor Operations page are clearly very distinct.

Looping in the other reviewers for this PR as well @SaviDahegaonkar @jrood

@noahpgordon My sincere apologies for the misunderstanding that happened here. We definitely do need this concept entry, parent to the term entries mentioned. I'll coordinate with the team to make sure we get this PR re-opened and merged.
