Can artificial intelligence (AI) create its own algorithms to speed up matrix multiplication, one of machine learning’s most fundamental tasks? Today, in a paper published in Nature, DeepMind ...

In 1969, a German mathematician named Volker Strassen discovered the previous-best algorithm for multiplying 4×4 matrices, which reduces the number of steps necessary to perform a matrix calculation.

A new method, called the QZ algorithm, is presented for the solution of the matrix eigenvalue problem Ax = λ Bx with general square matrices A and B. Particular attention is paid to the degeneracies ...
