Matrix Algebra Approach to Artificial Intelligence

XIAN-DA ZHANG is a Professor Emeritus at the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, China. He was a Distinguished Professor at Xidian University, Xi’an, China, as part of the Ministry of Education of China and Cheung Kong Scholars Programme, from 1999 to 2002. His areas of research include intelligent signal and information processing, pattern recognition, machine learning and neural networks, evolutional computation, and correlated applied mathematics. He has published over 120 international journal and conference papers. The Japanese translation of his book “Linear Algebra in Signal Processing” (published in Chinese by Science Press, Beijing, in 1997) was published by Morikita Press, Tokyo, in 2008. He also authored the book “Matrix Analysis and Applications” (Cambridge University Press, UK, 2017).

“The book is of very high relevance for students, professors and researchers involved in artificial intelligence (AI), the work is also of very high relevance for the mathematics community in general since it addresses the importance of matrix algebra for the field of AI and how major approaches and state-of-the-art algorithms rely on matrix algebra.” (Carlos Pedro Gonçalves, zbMATH 1455.68010, 2021)
