Understanding Tensors: The Core Data Structure of Machine Learning Models

This article explains tensors, the fundamental data structure used in all machine learning models. It details how tensors are typed, multi-dimensional arrays with specific shapes, data types, and locations (CPU or GPU). The post demonstrates creating tensors, performing operations like element-wise addition and broadcasting, and transferring them between CPU and GPU using PyTorch, highlighting the impact of precision on speed and memory.
