tensor
Generalized matrix structure
A tensor is a mathematical object that generalizes scalars, vectors, and matrices to higher dimensions.
In physics and engineering, tensors describe quantities that transform in specific ways under coordinate changes—stress, strain, and electromagnetic fields are tensor quantities.
In machine learning, tensor has become common for any multidimensional array of numbers: The neural network processes input tensors.
