On: The tensor renaissance in data science

[musgravepeter]

I agree it's unfortunate.

I think this is really a flimsy use of a technical term which does have a precise meaning in the context of mathematical physics to make the idea of multi-dimensional array seem "deeper" than it really is.

There are enough hard problems in data science - I don't think it needs to burdened with terms like this.

Especially if information geometry ever grows and data scientists start to actually have to use real tensors.
