def einsum(equation, *operands):
    r"""einsum(equation, *operands) -> Tensor

This function provides a way of computing multilinear expressions (i.e. sums of products) using the
Einstein summation convention.

Args:
    equation (string): The equation is given in terms of lower case letters (indices) to be associated
           with each dimension of the operands and result. The left hand side lists the operands
           dimensions, separated by commas. There should be one index letter per tensor dimension.
           The right hand side follows after `->` and gives the indices for the output.
           If the `->` and right hand side are omitted, it implicitly defined as the alphabetically
           sorted list of all indices appearing exactly once in the left hand side.
           The indices not apprearing in the output are summed over after multiplying the operands
           entries.
           If an index appears several times for the same operand, a diagonal is taken.
           Ellipses `...` represent a fixed number of dimensions. If the right hand side is inferred,
           the ellipsis dimensions are at the beginning of the output.
    operands (list of Tensors): The operands to compute the Einstein sum of.
           Note that the operands are passed as a list, not as individual arguments.

    where :math:`m` is the index of the sliding window, and :math:`\omega` is
    the frequency that :math:`0 \leq \omega < \text{n\_fft}`. When
    :attr:`onesided` is the default value ``True``,

    * :attr:`input` must be either a 1-D time sequenceor 2-D a batch of time
      sequences.

    * If :attr:`hop_length` is ``None`` (default), it is treated as equal to
      ``floor(n_fft / 4)``.

    * If :attr:`win_length` is ``None`` (default), it is treated as equal to
      :attr:`n_fft`.

    * :attr:`window` can be a 1-D tensor of size :attr:`win_length`, e.g., from
      :meth:`torch.hann_window`. If :attr:`window` is ``None`` (default), it is
      treated as if having :math:`1` everywhere in the window. If
      :math:`\text{win\_length} < \text{n\_fft}`, :attr:`window` will be padded on
      both sides to length :attr:`n_fft` before being applied.

    * If :attr:`center` is ``True`` (default), :attr:`input` will be padded on
      both sides so that the :math:`t`-th frame is centered at time
      :math:`t \times \text{hop\_length}`. Otherwise, the :math:`t`-th frame
      begins at time  :math:`t \times \text{hop\_length}`.

    * :attr:`pad_mode` determines the padding method used on :attr:`input` when
      :attr:`center` is ``True``. See :meth:`torch.nn.functional.pad` for
      all available options. Default is ``"reflect"``.

    * If :attr:`onesided` is ``True`` (default), only values for :math:`\omega`
      in :math:`\left[0, 1, 2, \dots, \left\lfloor \frac{\text{n\_fft}}{2} \right\rfloor + 1\right]`
      are returned because the real-to-complex Fourier transform satisfies the
      conjugate symmetry, i.e., :math:`X[m, \omega] = X[m, \text{n\_fft} - \omega]^*`.

    * If :attr:`normalized` is ``True`` (default is ``False``), the function
      returns the normalized STFT results, i.e., multiplied by :math:`(\text{frame\_length})^{-0.5}`.

    Returns the real and the imaginary parts together as one tensor of size
    :math:`(* \times N \times T \times 2)`, where :math:`*` is the optional
    batch size of :attr:`input`, :math:`N` is the number of frequencies where
    STFT is applied, :math:`T` is the total number of frames used, and each pair
    in the last dimension represents a complex number as the real part and the
    imaginary part.

        hop_length (int): the distance between neighboring sliding window

    Args:

      b (Tensor): Right tensor to contract
      dims (int or tuple of two lists of integers): number of dimensions to
         contract or explicit lists of dimensions for :attr:`a` and
         :attr:`b` respectively

    When called with an integer argument :attr:`dims` = :math:`d`, and the number of
    dimensions of :attr:`a` and :attr:`b` is :math:`m` and :math:`n`, respectively,
    it computes

    When called with :attr:`dims` of the list form, the given dimensions will be contracted
    in place of the last :math:`d` of :attr:`a` and the first :math:`d` of :math:`b`. The sizes
