Nearly all big science, machine learning, neural network, and machine vision applications employ algorithms that involve large matrix-matrix multiplication. But multiplying large matrices pushes the ...

Computer scientists are a demanding bunch. For them, it’s not enough to get the right answer to a problem — the goal, almost always, is to get the answer as efficiently as possible. Take the act of ...

NumPy includes some tools for working with linear algebra in the numpy.linalg module. However, unless you really don’t want to add SciPy as a dependency to your project, it’s typically better to use ...

The new version of AlphaZero discovered a faster way to do matrix multiplication, a core problem in computing that affects thousands of everyday computer tasks. DeepMind has used its board-game ...
