Tensors for Neural Networks, Clearly Explained!!!

Tensors are super important for neural networks, but can be confusing because different people use the word "Tensor" differently. In this StatQuest, we clear this up and tell you what the big deal is. BAM!

For a complete index of all the StatQuest videos, check out...

...a cool StatQuest t-shirt or sweatshirt:

...buying one or two of my songs (or go large and get a whole album!)

...or just donating to StatQuest!

I almost quit understanding cnn with the fancy jargons all over the internet. After watching your playlist, you gave me ray of hope. You are freaking genius of explaining things in simplicity. hope to see your playlist with advance cnn topics (object detection, semantic segmentation and siamese network). Thank You 3000

"Mathematicians and machine learning people define tensors in different ways".
This one sentence made a world of difference for my learning.
May be it's just me; but I can't thank you enough.

Me reading ML papers and finding tensors: Ugh
Me watching StatQuest and finding tensors: Triple BAM!!!

You rock! I learned much more from your series in NN in 3 days than sitting in a machine learning class for one semester!

[alexandruianosi]

I thought that I understood ANN, but now I feel that everything is so much more intuitive. Thank you!

[reinasama]

I can't thank you enough sir, this is so well explained i'm almost crying. Thank you so much for your efforts I'll definitely buy some of the study material you offer when I will be able to.

So excited I’ve been trying to understand tensors can’t wait 🥳

[atlantaguitar]

Cool. I just gave a lecture today on how to do linear regression with Pytorch using basic tensor operations. I'm sure your presentation will be great!

[doctor_no_]

Thank you! As a physicist I was originally confused by tensors in neural networks. Great video. It'll be cool to include some tensor manipulations in this video or a future one :)

The best channel I've ever seen for data science ❤️

[endunry]

I have a cs study project aboug GNNs and was looking up Tensors. And i was hit by the agony of Tensors in the Context of deep mathematics and physics. The moment i open a CS Video about Tensors im met with music and good vibes <3

I am in a bit of a quandary- trying to decide, of your skills, which is superior: you skill as a singer or your skill as a teacher of Machine Learning!

[annapeng]

Finally I am not confused as I did not know ML tensor is different from the tensor in maths (even though I still don't know how GPU works)! Thank you!!!

[K_chiranjeev_G]

You are the best teacher on my list !!

[maheshm]

Very well explained as usual. Can we have one video for Automatic Differentiation also please?

[hrithiklanghi]

Just got video at the right time and I already kniw after seeing this video i will have my concepts cleared

[mattkriese]

Subbed. I need more StatQuest in my life.

[subodhacharya]

Very well explained with those interesting pictorial representations of inputs, activation functions, and all.

[BillHaug]

perhaps a top 3 jingle, I really enjoyed it. Even with time to reflect, I am going with: 1) Statquest, its bad to the bone; and 2) were going to do a lot of maths step by step by step... statquest ...the bangers

[abhinavsingh]

Whoaaa!
That is a very clear and fun explanation, never learned like this.
Feeling Blessed
