Frequently Asked Questions
What does Dimension out of range mean?
You tried to access a dimension that doesn't exist. A 3D tensor has dimensions 0, 1, 2 (or -1, -2, -3). Accessing dimension 3 or -4 triggers this error. Valid range: [-ndim, ndim-1].
How does negative dimension indexing work?
Negative indices count from the last dimension. dim=-1 is the last, dim=-2 is second to last. Same convention as Python list indexing.
Common causes?
(1) Using dim=1 on a 1D tensor. (2) Squeeze removed a dimension. (3) Hardcoded dim values after reshape. (4) Confusing dim with dimension size.
How do I fix it?
Print tensor.shape to see actual dimensions. Adjust dim to be within [-ndim, ndim-1]. Use unsqueeze if you need more dimensions.
