How to convert list of str into Pytorch tensor

How do I convert a list of strings into a string/character tensor in Pytorch?

Related example with numpy:

import numpy as np

mylist = ["this","is","my","list"]

np.array([mylist])

Returns:

array([['this', 'is', 'my', 'list']], dtype='<U4')

However, in pytorch:

torch.tensor(mylist)

Returns:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-156-36722d81da09> in <module>
----> 1 torch.tensor(mylist)

ValueError: too many dimensions 'str'

A tensor is a multi-dimensional array, so I'm assuming this is possible pytorch.

Note: this post does not answer my question

There is no string tensor so you cannot directly convert to pytorch tensor of strings.

Alternative, you can convert the string to ASCII char values and save that as a Tensor.
