A mathematical object that generalized the notions of
Vector
,
Matrix
and
Scalar
Usually vector means 1d and matrix means 2d and tensor is term for any dimensional data
A simple way to access tensors is to think of the tensor as something with a few indices., The count of indices (the rank) that a tensor has is an important characteristic: a scalar has rank 0, a 4-vector has rank 1.
  • Rank 2 tensors are composites of 16 numbers, multiplied by two contravariant 4-vectors: =
  • The transformation matrix of a rank 2 tensor can be known as the multiplication of the transformation matrices of vectors A and B.

How a Computer Broke a 50-Year Math Record
Researchers at Google research lab DeepMind trained an AI system called AlphaTensor to find new, faster algorithms to tackle an age-old math problem: matrix multiplication. Advances in matrix multiplication could lead to breakthroughs in physics, engineering and computer science. AlphaTensor quickly rediscovered - and surpassed, for some cases - the reigning algorithm discovered by German mathematician Volker Strassen in 1969. However, mathematicians soon took inspiration from the results of the game-playing neural network to make advances of their own.
