# dequantize(_:scaleTensor:dataType:name:)

Creates a dequantize operation and returns the result tensor.

## Declaration

```swift
func dequantize(_ tensor: MPSGraphTensor, scaleTensor: MPSGraphTensor, dataType: MPSDataType, name: String?) -> MPSGraphTensor
```

## Parameters

- `tensor`: Input tensor to be dequantized.
- `scaleTensor`: Scale Tensor parameter with groups support.
- `dataType`: Float data type of the result tensor.
- `name`: The name for the operation.

## Return Value

Return Value A valid MPSGraphTensor array of datatype dataType.

## Discussion

Discussion Converts the i8, u8, i4 or u4 tensor to a float tensor by applying a scale and bias transform: result = scaleTensor * tensor.
