- yreg 4y agoSo it is math lingo for array.
- squeaky-clean 4y agoIn math tensor has a more specific meaning than just an array, but in machine learning lingo, tensor just means an array or multidimensional array. That base is true in math as well, but it can also be a single value (rank zero tensor, aka a scalar. Sometimes ML will call this a tensor as well) and has to obey certain rules about linearity for some operations applied to it.
