Matrix multiplication is at the heart of many machine learning breakthroughs, and it just got faster—twice. Last week, DeepMind announced it discovered a more efficient way to perform matrix ...
Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.
1. Strassen's method is an important milestone in Computer Science history, largely launching the study of time complexity of algorithms. As the poster child example of a "divide and conquer" ...
