All the linear algebra that is needed for AI is matrix multiplication and broadcasting? Am I the only one who is baffled by this?

Am I the only one who is baffled by this?
- tw1010 9y agoI think they forgot to prepend "to convince the math-phobic you know what you're doing"
- jventura 9y agoIf AI == Neural Networks only, maybe matrix knowledge is enough, but when you start to include NLP, Expert systems, SEarch algorithms such as A*, Minimax, etc. in the AI category, you'll have to know more mathematics.. AI is much more than neural networks!
- dragandj 9y agoEven for NN alone, those few operations are not enough. Not only that, but to even understand what the operations that I need directly do, I need far more background knowledge of linear algebra.
- contravariant 9y agoWell, if you want to simplify even more then all you really need is optimisation and a sufficiently broad class of functions.
