A multidimensional array that is used to manipulate data in several disciplines, including mathematics, physics and especially AI. For example, a tensor is the primary data structure of a neural network, and all operations on the network are performed on the tensor structure. Although tensors are commonly defined as a matrix, a matrix technically has only two dimensions, whereas a tensor can have many. See
