Everything about Tensor (machine learning)

Concept in machine learning

In machine learning, the term tensor informally refers to two different concepts: (i) a way of organizing data and (ii) a multilinear (tensor) transformation. Data may be organized in a multidimensional array (M-way array), informally referred to as a "data tensor"; however this shouldn't be confused with mathematical tensors, because data tensors are not invariant when a coordinate system is changed, for example when an image is rotated during data augmentation. Observations, such as images, movies, volumes, sounds, and relationships among words and concepts, stored in an M-way array ("data tensor"), may be analyzed either by artificial neural networks or tensor methods.
