Find unique rows in numpy.array

Question

I need to find unique rows in a numpy.array.

For example:

>>> a # I have
array([[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
         


        

Answer 1

Lets get the entire numpy matrix as a list, then drop duplicates from this list, and finally return our unique list back into a numpy matrix:

matrix_as_list=data.tolist() 
matrix_as_list:
[[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0]]

uniq_list=list()
uniq_list.append(matrix_as_list[0])

[uniq_list.append(item) for item in matrix_as_list if item not in uniq_list]

unique_matrix=np.array(uniq_list)
unique_matrix:
array([[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0],
       [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0]])
