In NumPy, both arrays and matrices are used to represent multi-dimensional data, but they have some differences in terms of their behavior and operations. Here are the key differences between NumPy arrays and matrices in the context of machine learning, along with code examples to illustrate these differences:
import numpy as np # Creating a NumPy array array = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]) # Creating a NumPy matrix matrix = np.mat([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
# Element-wise multiplication using arrays array_product = array * 2 # Element-wise multiplication using matrices matrix_product = matrix * 2 # Matrix multiplication using arrays array_dot_product = np.dot(array, array.T) # Matrix multiplication using matrices matrix_dot_product = matrix * matrix.T
# Indexing and slicing an array array_slice = array[0, 1:] # Indexing and slicing a matrix matrix_slice = matrix[0, 1:]
# Transpose of an array array_transpose = array.T # Transpose of a matrix matrix_transpose = matrix.T
*

) for matrix multiplication.# Element-wise multiplication using arrays array_elementwise_product = array * array # Matrix multiplication using matrices matrix_matrix_product = matrix * matrix

for identity matrix and H
for conjugate transpose.# Identity matrix using a matrix identity_matrix = np.eye(3) # Conjugate transpose using a matrix conjugate_transpose = matrix.H
In practice, arrays are more versatile and widely used in machine learning due to their compatibility with various operations and libraries. While matrices are convenient for linear algebra computations, most of these computations can also be performed using arrays. Therefore, it’s recommended to use arrays for machine learning tasks in NumPy unless you specifically require matrix behavior for certain linear algebra operations.
