[Numpy-discussion] How to get Boolean matrix for similar lists in two different-size numpy arrays of lists

[Ali Sheikholeslam]

I have written a question in:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66623145/how-to-get-boolean-matrix-for-similar-lists-in-two-different-size-numpy-arrays-o
It was recommended by numpy to send this subject to the mailing lists.

The question is as follows. I would be appreciated if you could advise me
to solve the problem:

At first, I write a small example of to lists:

F = [[1,2,3],[3,2,7],[4,4,1],[5,6,3],[1,3,7]]          # (1*5)     5 lists
S = [[1,3,7],[6,8,1],[3,2,7]]                          # (1*3)     3 lists

I want to get Boolean matrix for the same 'list's in two F and S:

[False, True, False, False, True]                      #  (1*5)    5
Booleans for 5 lists of F

By using IM = reduce(np.in1d, (F, S)) it gives results for each number in
each lists of F:

[ True  True  True  True  True  True False False  True False  True  True
  True  True  True]       # (1*15)

By using IM = reduce(np.isin, (F, S)) it gives results for each number in
each lists of F, too, but in another shape:

[[ True  True  True]
 [ True  True  True]
 [False False  True]
 [False  True  True]
 [ True  True  True]]           # (5*3)

The true result will be achieved by code IM = [i in S for i in F] for the
example lists, but when I'm using this code for my two main bigger numpy
arrays of lists:

numpy array: 3036 lists

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FrggAa-JoxxoRqRs8NVV_F69DdVdiq_m/view?usp=sharing

numpy array: 300 lists

It gives wrong answer. For the main files it must give 3036 Boolean, in
which 'True' is only 300 numbers. I didn't understand why this get wrong
answers?? It seems it applied only on the 3rd characters in each lists of
F. It is preferred to use reduce function by the two functions, np.in1d and
np.isin, instead of the last method. How could to solve each of the three
above methods??
