Usage & Comparasion

import torch
from torch.utils.data import WeightedRandomSampler
from exhaustive_weighted_random_sampler import ExhaustiveWeightedRandomSampler

sampler = WeightedRandomSampler([1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 10], num_samples=5)
for i in range(5):
    print(list(sampler))

"""
output:
[4, 3, 9, 3, 4]

[9, 9, 0, 9, 2]
[9, 9, 7, 9, 9]
[9, 9, 9, 9, 9]

explain: there are no 1 and 6, but 0 appears three times
