theano中的dimshuffle函数用于对张量的维度进行操作，可以增加维度，也可以交换维度，删除维度。
注意的是只有shared才能调用dimshuffle()
'x'表示增加一维，从0d scalar到1d vector
(0, 1)表示一个与原先相同的2D向量
(1, 0)表示将2D向量的两维交换
(‘x’, 0) 表示将一个1d vector变为一个1xN矩阵
(0, ‘x’)将一个1d vector变为一个Nx1矩阵
(2, 0, 1) -> AxBxC to CxAxB （2表示第三维也就是C，0表示第一维A，1表示第二维B）
(0, ‘x’, 1) -> AxB to Ax1xB 表示A，B顺序不变在中间增加一维
(1, ‘x’, 0) -> AxB to Bx1xA 同理自己理解一下
(1,) -> 删除维度0，(1xA to A)
写了个小程序来验证猜想

首先定义了一个[0 1 2]的1D vector：v，v.dimshuffle(0)中的0表示第一维：3，也只有一维，所以不变。因为是1D的，所以shape只有（3，）
v.dimshuffle(0): [0 1 2]
v.dimshuffle(0).shape: [3]
v.dimshuffle('x',0)表示在第一维前加入一维，只要记住加了'x'就加了一维，所以大小变成了1x3
v.dimshuffle('x',0): [[0 1 2]]
v.dimshuffle('x',0).shape: [1 3]
剩下的同理可理解
v.dimshuffle(0,'x'): [[0]
[1]
[2]]
v.dimshuffle(0,'x').shape: [3 1]
v.dimshuffle(0,'x','x'): [[[0]]
[[1]]
[[2]]]
v.dimshuffle(0,'x','x').shape: [3 1 1]
v.dimshuffle('x',0,'x'): [[[0]
[1]
[2]]]
v.dimshuffle('x',0,'x').shape: [1 3 1]
v.dimshuffle('x','x',0): [[[0 1 2]]]
v.dimshuffle('x','x',0).shape: [1 1 3]
第二个例子，m是一个2x3矩阵
m: [[0 1 2]
[3 4 5]]
m.shape: [2 3]
先确定0,'x',1的维数,0对应第一维（2），1表示第二维（3），'x'表示新加入的维度（1）
所以结果维度是2x1x3
加括号的顺序按照从左到右（外->内)的顺序
1.先加最内层3，3表示括号内有3个数，因此是[0 1 2]和[3 4 5]
2.再加中间层1，1表示括号内只有一个匹配的"[]"，因此是[[0 1 2]],[[3 4 5]]
3.最后加最外层2，2表示括号内有两个匹配的"[]"（只算最外层的匹配），于是最后结果是
[[[0 1 2]]
[[3 4 5]]]
m.dimshuffle(0,'x',1): [[[0 1 2]]
[[3 4 5]]]
m.dimshuffle(0,'x',1).shape: [2 1 3]
剩下的同理可以理解
m.dimshuffle('x',0,1): [[[0 1 2]
[3 4 5]]]
m.dimshuffle('x',0,1).shape: [1 2 3]
m.dimshuffle(0,1,'x'): [[[0]
[1]
[2]]
[[3]
[4]
[5]]]
m.dimshuffle(0,1,'x').shape: [2 3 1]
m.dimshuffle(1,'x',0): [[[0 3]]
[[1 4]]
[[2 5]]]
m.dimshuffle(1,'x',0).shape: [3 1 2]
