[docs] Missing imports and a doctest continuation error in torch examples
Five docstring examples raise NameError and one raises IndentationError when run as written, e.g. when copy-pasted from the docs pages: - torch.as_tensor / torch.asarray / torch.from_numpy: the examples use `numpy.array` / `numpy.float64` without importing numpy. - torch.exp:...
[docs] Broken docstring examples in torch.fft, torch.linalg and torch.special
Several docstring examples raise NameError or TypeError when run as written, e.g. when copy-pasted from the docs pages: - torch.fft.ihfft2 / torch.fft.ihfftn: the examples reference `t` before defining it (and an undefined `rfftn` in ihfft2). - torch.linalg.solve_ex: the example...
[Docs] Clarify UTF-8 / Vietnamese text handling in DataLoader and tokenization pipeline
...DataLoader on Windows Vietnamese file paths (containing diacritics) can cause issues with `num_workers > 0` on some platforms. ## Proposed Documentation Addition A note in the DataLoader tutorial and the text utilities section covering: - Best practices for non-ASCII...
[docs] Worker.__init__ docstring documents a nonexistent `id` argument
### 🐛 Describe the bug In `torch/distributed/elastic/agent/server/api.py`, the `Worker` class docstring lists `id (Any)` under its `Args:` block, but `Worker.__init__` does not accept an `id` argument. It only takes the rank and world-size ints, and `self.id` is set internally...
