# SquaredDifference¶

Versioned name : SquaredDifference-1

Category : Arithmetic binary operation

Short description : SquaredDifference performs element-wise subtract and square the result operation with two given tensors applying broadcasting rule specified in the auto_broadcast attribute.

Detailed description As a first step input tensors a and b are broadcasted if their shapes differ. Broadcasting is performed according to auto_broadcast attribute specification. As a second step Substract and Square the result operation is computed element-wise on the input tensors a and b according to the formula below:

$o_{i} = (a_{i} - b_{i})^2$

Attributes :

• Description : specifies rules used for auto-broadcasting of input tensors.

• Range of values :

• Type : string

• Default value : “numpy”

• Required : no

Inputs

• 1 : A tensor of type T and arbitrary shape. Required.

• 2 : A tensor of type T and arbitrary shape. Required.

Outputs

• 1 : The result of element-wise subtract and square the result operation. A tensor of type T with shape equal to broadcasted shape of two inputs.

Types

• T : any numeric type.
