Hello, We cannot use pytorch directly here as pytorch currently does not support above mentioned types. so what can be other options , any help would be great, Thanks.

@ClaudiaComito @mtar here one possible way can be we can convert uint16 to int32 first and then return torch.int32, but this is also not feasible ig . Any alternatives?

As @Dhruv454000 mentioned, Pytorch does not support these datatypes yet.

We will follow developments there and expand dtype support whenever PyTorch does. https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/58734

I'll leave this issue open.
