PyTorch's torch.transpose swaps two dimensions in a tensor, while NumPy's np.transpose permutes the dimensions of its input, like PyTorch's torch.Tensor.permute does.

The NumPy community seems uninterested in offering a "permute" alias for np.transpose.

Numpy's np.transpose is a top 100 NumPy function, and torch.transpose is also popular with thousands of uses within Facebook.
