How to calculate a meaningful distance between multidimensional tensors
TLDR: given two tensors $t_1$ and $t_2$, both with shape $(c,h,w),$ how shall the distance between them be measured?
More Info: I'm working on a project in which I'm trying to distinguish between an ...

Do any practical deep learning algorithms deal with tensors containing non-real entries?
In deep learning, most of the applications are from text and images. Both text and images can be converted into a tensor of real numbers.
Other than both mentioned above, there may be some other real-...

Which product operation should be used in affine transformation?
Affine transformation as I am aware can be expressed as either dot product followed by addition or a matrix multiplication followed by addition
$$a.x+b$$
$$a^{T}x + b$$
where the first one is based on ...

Do researchers generally treat tensors just as mathematical objects with certain shape?
Most of the practical research in AI that includes neural networks deals with higher dimensional tensors. It is easy to imagine tensors up to three dimensions.
When I ask the question How do ...
