Describing the order of a tensor

When describing tensors of higher order I feel like there is an overloading of the term dimension as it may be used to describe the order of the tensor but also the dimensionality of the... "orders"? Assume one describes the third-order tensor…

Assume 120 examples, a model makes 20 correct predictions and updates weight for the other 100. Should I count this epoch 100 iterations or 120?

Per google's glossary, an iteration refers to A single update of a model's weights during training ... The following code comes from a github repo def fit(self, x, y, verbose=False, seed=None): indices = np.arange(len(x)) for i in…

Confusion between function learned and the underlying distribution

Let us assume that I am working on a dataset of black and white dog images. Each image is of size $28 \times 28$. Now, I can say that I have a sample space $S$ of all possible images. And $p_{data}$ is the probability distribution for dog images. It…
