我就废话不多说了，大家还是直接看代码吧~

tensor.expand_as在这里用于扩展tensor到目标形状，常用的多是在H和W方向上的扩展。
假设目标形状为N, C, H, W，则要求tensor.size()=n, c, h, w(这里假设N，C不变)：
1、h=w=1
2、h=1, w!=1
3、h!=1, w=1
补充：tensorflow 利用expand_dims和squeeze扩展和压缩tensor维度
在利用tensorflow进行文本挖掘工作的时候，经常涉及到维度扩展和压缩工作。
比如对文本进行embedding操作完成之后，若要进行卷积操作，就需要对embedded的向量扩展维度，将[batch_size, embedding_dims]扩展成为[batch_size, embedding_dims, 1]，利用tf.expand_dims(input, -1)就可实现，反过来用squeeze(input, -1)或者tf.squeeze（input）也可以把最第三维去掉。
tf.expand_dims()
tf.squeeze()
tf.expand_dims()
tf.expand_dims(input, axis=None, name=None, dim=None)
在第axis位置增加一个维度.
给定张量输入，此操作在输入形状的维度索引轴处插入1的尺寸。 尺寸索引轴从零开始; 如果您指定轴的负数，则从最后向后计数。
如果要将批量维度添加到单个元素，则此操作非常有用。 例如，如果您有一个单一的形状[height，width，channels]，您可以使用expand_dims（image，0）使其成为1个图像，这将使形状[1，高度，宽度，通道]。
例子
# 't' is a tensor of shape [2] shape(expand_dims(t, 0)) ==> [1, 2] shape(expand_dims(t, 1)) ==> [2, 1] shape(expand_dims(t, -1)) ==> [2, 1] # 't2' is a tensor of shape [2, 3, 5] shape(expand_dims(t2, 0)) ==> [1, 2, 3, 5] shape(expand_dims(t2, 2)) ==> [2, 3, 1, 5] shape(expand_dims(t2, 3)) ==> [2, 3, 5, 1]
tf.squeeze()
tf.squeeze(input, axis=None, name=None, squeeze_dims=None)
直接上例子
# 't' is a tensor of shape [1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1] shape(squeeze(t)) ==> [2, 3] # 't' is a tensor of shape [1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1] shape(squeeze(t, [2, 4])) ==> [1, 2, 3, 1]
以上为个人经验，希望能给大家一个参考，也希望大家多多支持。如有错误或未考虑完全的地方，望不吝赐教。
