Visual Representation of Matrix and Vector Operations and implementations in NumPy, Torch, and TensorFlow.

Implementing rudimentary to advanced operations on deep learning’s fundamental units.

I am accustomed to creating new deep learning architectures for different problems, but which framework (Keras, Pytorch, TensorFlow) to choose is often harder.

Since there’s an uncertainty in it, it’s good to know the fundamental operations on those framework’s fundamental units (NumPy, Torch, Tensor).

In this post, I have performed a handful of the same operations across the 3 frameworks, also tried my hands on visualization for most of them.

This is a beginner-friendly post, so let’s get started.

Due to visualization constraints, I skipped the operations on the higher dimension parts.

I hope I was able to provide some visual understanding to some of the fundamental operations along with your choice of deep learning framework and I will add more detailed operations shortly.

Check out the Notebook to find the above codes curated here → Colab.

Until then, see you next time.
