A Tensor is a fundamental data structure in modern machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch). It is best described as a generalization of vectors and matrices to potentially higher dimensions.
Option A: Correct. Tensors typically store numeric values (commonly floating-point numbers) in structured formats.
Option B: Correct. A tensor can have any number of dimensions (rank). For example:
A scalar is a 0-D tensor.
A vector is a 1-D tensor.
A matrix is a 2-D tensor.
Higher-rank tensors can represent images, videos, or multidimensional datasets.
Option C: Correct. Tensors are explicitly designed to allow linear algebra operations, which are the foundation of deep learning computations (matrix multiplications, dot products, etc.).
Therefore, since all three statements are true, the correct answer is Option E (All of the above).
