ind2word — Map wordEncoding indices back to words.
ind2word(enc, M) returns the vocabulary words corresponding to 1-based indices in M.
Syntax
words = ind2word(enc, M)Inputs
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
enc | Any | Yes | — | wordEncoding object. |
M | NumericArray | Yes | — | Positive integer word encoding indices. |
Returns
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
words | Any | Words mapped from encoding indices. |
Errors
| Identifier | When | Message |
|---|---|---|
RunMat:ind2word:InvalidInput | Inputs do not match a supported ind2word form. | ind2word received invalid input |
How ind2word works
encmust be a RunMatwordEncodingcompatibility object.Mmay be a numeric scalar or numeric tensor of positive integer indices.- The output is a string array with the same shape as
M. - Indices must be finite positive integers within the vocabulary size. Invalid, NaN, fractional, zero, negative, or out-of-range indices are rejected with a controlled error.
GPU memory and residency
ind2word reads host text/model metadata and returns a CPU string array.
Example
Map Indices To Words
enc = wordEncoding(["fairest" "desire" "thereby"]);
words = ind2word(enc, [1 3])Expected output:
`words` is `["fairest" "thereby"]`.Using ind2word with coding agents
Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how ind2word changes the result.
Run a small ind2word example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
FAQ
Does ind2word return missing strings for invalid indices?⌄
No. The documented input is positive integer indices, so RunMat rejects invalid or out-of-range indices.
Does ind2word execute on the GPU?⌄
No. It is a host metadata lookup.
