+    the column positions of the non-zero elements of the 0th row in the tensor are provided by the [0, 2) elements in
+    `indices` (i.e. [0, 3]) and the corresponding values are provided by the [0, 2) elements in `values`
+    (i.e. [1., 2.]). The column positions of the non-zero elements of the 1st row in the tensor are provided by the

+class Symbol:
+    r"""
+    Symbol is a data structure to indicate the symbolic info of shape.
+
+    For dynamic shape networks, compared with only setting the unknown dimensions ( ``None`` ) in `Tensor` , providing
+    more symbolic shape info can help the framework better optimize the computation graph, to improve the performance of
+    network execution.
+
+    Args:
+        max (int): The maximum length of this dimension, which is valid when it's greater than `min`. Default: ``0`` .
+        min (int): The minimum length of this dimension. Default: ``1`` .
+        divisor (int): The divisor( :math:`d` ). When `remainder` is 0, it means this dimension can be divided by
+            :math:`d` . Default: ``1`` .
+        remainder (int): The remainder( :math:`r` ) when symbol is represented by :math:`d * N + r, N \ge 1` .
+            Default: ``0`` .
+        unique (bool): When the symbol object is used multiple times, if `unique` is ``True`` , the shape items of this
+            symbol are considered to be same length, otherwise only symbol info is shared by multiple dimensions.
+            Default: ``False`` .
+
+    Outputs:
+        Symbol.
+
+    Raises:
+        TypeError: If `max`, `min`, `divisor`, `remainder` is not an int.
+        TypeError: If `unique` is not a bool.
+        ValueError: If `min` is not positive value.
+        ValueError: If `divisor` is not positive value.
+        ValueError: If `remainder` is not in the range :math:`[0, d)` .
