Welcome back to the second episode of the blog series on Linear Algebra from the lens of Machine Learning. In the first episode, an overview of Scalars was discussed alongwith their relevance in machine learning. In this episode, let’s dive deep into vectors, one of the fundamental concepts of linear algebra and discuss their significance in machine learning algorithms. What Are Vectors? In the simplest terms, a vector is an ordered array of numbers. These numbers can represent anything from coordinates in space to features of a data point. For example, consider a house with two features: the number of […]
Scalars in Machine Learning: A Fundamental Building Block
Welcome to the first episode of the blog series on Linear Algebra from the lens of Machine Learning. Today, let’s dive deep into one of the most basic yet fundamental concepts: Scalars. What is a Scalar? In the realm of mathematics, a scalar is a single numerical value. Unlike vectors or matrices that have multiple values and dimensions, a scalar is dimensionless. Think of it as a single number, representing quantities like temperature, price, or weight. Why are Scalars Important in Machine Learning? While it might seem basic, the significance of scalars in machine learning is profound: Simplified Example: Scalars […]
