<Matrix multiplication(product)>

• Matrix multiplication is the multiplication of 2D or more tensors(arrays). *The 1st operand can be a 1D tensor(array) but not the last operand.
• The rule which you must follow to do matrix multiplication is the number of the columns of A tensor(array) must match the number of the rows of B tensor(array).

2D tensors(arrays):

    <A>            <B>
[[a, b, c], x [[g, h, i, j], = [[ag+bk+co, ah+bl+cp, ai+bm+cq, aj+bn+cr],
 [d, e, f]]    [k, l, m, n],    [dg+ek+fo, dh+el+fp, di+em+fq, dj+en+fr]]
               [o, p, q, r]]
2 rows         (3) rows
(3) columns    4 columns

[[2, -7, 4], x [[-5, 0, 8, -4], = [[-73, 18, 22, -37],
 [6, 3, -1]]    [9, -2, -6, 7],    [-3, -7, 39, -8]]              
                [0, 1, -9, 5]]   
[[2x(-5)-7x9+4x0, 2x0-7x(-2)+4x1, 2x8-7x(-6)+4x(-9), 2x(-4)-7x7+4x5]
 [6x(-5)+3x9-1x0, 6x0+3x(-2)-1x1, 6x8+3x(-6)-1x(-9), 6x(-4)+3x7-1x5]]

In PyTorch with matmul(), mm() or @.
*Memos:

• matmul() or @ can do dot, matrix-vector or matrix multiplication with two of 1D or more D tensors. -mm() can do matrix multiplication with two of 2D tensors:

import torch

tensor1 = torch.tensor([[2, -7, 4], [6, 3, -1]])
tensor2 = torch.tensor([[-5, 0, 8, -4], [9, -2, -6, 7], [0, 1, -9, 5]])

torch.matmul(input=tensor1, other=tensor2)
tensor1.matmul(other=tensor2)
torch.mm(input=tensor1, mat2=tensor2)
tensor1.mm(mat2=tensor2)
tensor1 @ tensor2
# tensor([[-73, 18, 22, -37], [-3, -7, 39, -8]])

In NumPy with matmul(), dot() or @:

*Memos:

• matmul() or @ can do dot, matrix-vector or matrix multiplication with two of 1D or more D arrays.
• dot() can do dot, matrix-vector or matrix multiplication with two of 0D or more D arrays. *dot() is basically used to multiply two of 1D arrays.

import numpy

array1 = numpy.array([[2, -7, 4], [6, 3, -1]])
array2 = numpy.array([[-5, 0, 8, -4], [9, -2, -6, 7], [0, 1, -9, 5]])

numpy.matmul(array1, array2)
numpy.dot(array1, array2)
array1.dot(array2)
array1 @ array2
# array([[-73, 18, 22, -37], [-3, -7, 39, -8]])

A 1D and 3D tensor(array):

*The 3D tensor(array) of B has three of 2D tensors(arrays) which have 2 rows and 4 columns each.

  <A>             <B>
[a, b] x [[[c, d, e, f], = [[(ac+bg), (ad+bh), (ae+bi), (af+bj)],
           [g, h, i, j]],   [(ak+bo), (al+bp), (am+bq), (an+br)],
          [[k, l, m, n],    [(as+bw), (at+bx), (au+by), (av+bz)]]
           [o, p, q, r]],
          [[s, t, u, v],
           [w, x, y, z]]]
1 row         (2) rows
(2) columns   4 columns

[2, -7] x [[[-5, 0, 8, -4], = [[-73, 14, 58, -57],
            [9, -2, -6, 7]],   [21, -26, 31, -4],
           [[0, 1, -9, 5],     [40, 60, -1, -30]]
            [-3, 4, -7, 2]],
           [[6, 2, 3, -1],
            [-4, -8, 1, 4]]]
[[2x(-5)-7x9, 2x0-7x(-2), 2x8-7x(-6), 2x(-4)-7x7],
 [2x0-7x(-3), 2x1-7x4, 2x(-9)-7x(-7), 2x5-7x2],
 [2x6-7x(-4), 2x2-7x(-8), 2x3-7x1, 2x(-1)-7x4]]

In PyTorch with matmul() or @:

import torch

tensor1 = torch.tensor([2, -7])
tensor2 = torch.tensor([[[-5, 0, 8, -4], [9, -2, -6, 7]],
                        [[0, 1, -9, 5], [-3, 4, -7, 2]],
                        [[6, 2, 3, -1], [-4, -8, 1, 4]]])
torch.matmul(input=tensor1, other=tensor2)
tensor1.matmul(other=tensor2)
tensor1 @ tensor2
# tensor([[-73, 14, 58, -57],
#         [21, -26, 31, -4], 
#         [40, 60, -1, -30]])

In NumPy with matmul(), dot() or @:

import numpy

array1 = numpy.array([2, -7])
array2 = numpy.array([[[-5, 0, 8, -4], [9, -2, -6, 7]],
                        [[0, 1, -9, 5], [-3, 4, -7, 2]],
                        [[6, 2, 3, -1], [-4, -8, 1, 4]]])
numpy.matmul(array1, array2)
numpy.dot(array1, array2)
array1.dot(array2)
array1 @ array2
# array([[-73, 14, 58, -57],
#        [21, -26, 31, -4],
#        [40, 60, -1, -30]])

<Element-wise multiplication(product)>

• Element-wise multiplication is the multiplication of 0D or more D tensors(arrays).
• The rule which you must follow to do element-wise multiplication is 2 tensors(arrays) must have the same number of rows and columns.
