-    Test whether a Variable is empty.
+    Test whether a Tensor is empty.
 
     Args:
-        x (Variable): The Variable to be tested.
+        x (Tensor): The Tensor to be tested.
         name (str, optional): The default value is ``None`` . Normally users
                             don't have to set this parameter. For more information,
                             please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .
 
     Returns:
-        Variable: A bool scalar. True if 'x' is an empty Variable.
+        Tensor: A bool scalar. True if 'x' is an empty Tensor.
