Description

Add a batched operator that returns, per row along a configurable axis, the index of the maximum element and its value. This is the "best-class" reduction used everywhere in inference post-processing.

Use cases

  • Detection: best class + score per anchor ([B, N, C][B, N]), the input to top-k.
  • Classification: top-1 label + confidence.
  • Segmentation: per-pixel class map ([B, H, W, C][B, H, W]).

Requirements

  • Input scores tensor with a configurable reduction axis (must handle the class axis in both [B, N, C] and [B, C, N] layouts).
  • Output two tensors: argmax indices (integer) and corresponding values.
  • Dtypes: fp32 inputs; integer index output.
  • GPU and CPU paths, following the existing operator/kernel-wrapper pattern.

Acceptance

  • Correct results vs a CPU golden model across shapes, axes, and both layouts.
  • Ties resolved deterministically (e.g. lowest index wins) and documented.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating existing operator and kernel-wrapper implementations, including both CPU and GPU paths, then identify the test structure used for shape and axis coverage. Done means matching a CPU golden model across the requested layouts and axes, returning indices and values, with deterministic tie handling documented.
