Description
nn.SinusoidalPositionalEncodingcurrently assumes thatdimsis positive and even, but this requirement is not enforced.The implementation constructs sinusoidal embeddings from sine/cosine frequency pairs using:
This works for the existing tested case (
dims=16), but some edge cases are not handled correctly.For example, if a user constructs:
the implementation produces only 2 embedding dimensions instead of the requested 3. Similarly,
dims=2results in a division by zero while computing the values used to generate the sinusoidal frequencies, and non-positive values are not rejected explicitly.This change validates that
dimsis a positive even integer and handles thedims=2case separately to avoid the division by zero.Tests
Added coverage for:
dims=20,1, and3cc @zcbenz
