Learn how to deal with Numpy matrix dimensionality using np.reshape, np.newaxis and np.expand_dims, illustrated with Python code.

np.newaxis

• It is used to increase the dimension of the existing array. It uses the slicing operator to recreate the array.
• The dimension is temporarily added at the position of np.newaxis in the array. ‘None’ can also be used in place of np.newaxis.

np.reshape:

• It is used to reshape the array to the desired layout.

np.expand_dims:

• It expands the shape of an array by inserting a new axis at the axis position in the expanded array shape

Let’s see some primary applications where above NumPy dimension handling operations come in handy:
