#1
Front (Question)

What does this mean?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

the set of all real-valued matrices with n rows and d columns

#2
Front (Question)

What is this called? What does it mean? 1(x)

Back (Answer)

• binary indicator function, • returns 1 if x is a true boolean and 0 otherwise

#3
Front (Question)

What does this mean?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

the set of all real-valued n-dimensional vectors

#4
Front (Question)

What does this mean?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

the set of real numbers

#5
Front (Question)

What is this?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

• A pair of input vector and output scalar • The superscript indicates the index of this pair, not the exponent. In other words, x(5) is the input vector at index 5, not x raised to the power of 5.

#6
Front (Question)

What is this? |C|

Back (Answer)

• Determinant if C is a matrix • Cardinality (number of member elements) if C is a set.

#7
Front (Question)

What’s a column vector?

Back (Answer)

Each entry occupies one row.

#8
Front (Question)

What’s this?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

One use: denotes the i-th entry of a column vector

#9
Front (Question)

What does this mean?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

Row vector. Each entry covers 1 column

#10
Front (Question)

For matrix A, what is

Card front image
Back (Answer)

denotes the i-th row of A

#11
Front (Question)

For matrix A, what is

Card front image
Back (Answer)

denotes the i-th column of A

#12
Front (Question)

What can dot product be applied to? What’s the formula?

Back (Answer)

Two vectors of same dimensions

#13
Front (Question)

What’s the inner product?

Back (Answer)

Same as dot product

#14
Front (Question)

• What can outer product be applied to? • What does it result in? • What’s the formula?

Back (Answer)

• Vectors (can have different number of elements)

#15
Front (Question)

What’s another way to express a dot product for two column vectors x and y?

Back (Answer)

Card back image
#16
Front (Question)

What’s this for two vectors x and y?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

The outer product

#17
Front (Question)

What’s a matrix-vector product?

Back (Answer)

Card back image
#18
Front (Question)

• What are the properties of matrix multiplication? (2) • What properties does it not have? (1)

Back (Answer)

Matrix multiplication is: • associative, (AB)C=A(BC) • distributive, A(B+C)=AB+AC Is not: • commutative, AB≠BA

#19
Front (Question)

What’s a property of transposes?

Back (Answer)

Card back image
#20
Front (Question)

What’s the Hadamard product?

Back (Answer)

elementwise matrix multiplication

#21
Front (Question)

What does this mean?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

A standard basis vector - ith entry is 1 and the other entries are all 0

#22
Front (Question)

What does this denote?

Card front image
Back (Answer)

Identity matrix of nxn size

#23
Front (Question)

What’s the point of a basis vector?

Back (Answer)

By multiplying a basis vector with a vector x∈Rn, we obtain the single entry xi

#24
Front (Question)

Describe the idea of one-hot encoding

Back (Answer)

• In each row of the resulting one-hot-encoded matrix: • In each row of the original vector, find the value • This value will serve as the column index of the “1” entry in the same row in the corresponding matrix. • The remaining values in that row are 0
