  2. Vector (mathematics and physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and...

    A vector is what is needed to "carry" the point A to the point B; the Latin word vector means "carrier". [4] It was first used by 18th century astronomers investigating planetary revolution around the Sun. [ 5 ] The magnitude of the vector is the distance between the two points, and the direction refers to the direction of displacement from A ...

  3. Vector - Wikipedia

    Vector (C++), a type in the C++ Standard Template Library; Euclidean vector, a geometric object with a direction and magnitude Vector graphics, images defined by geometric primitives as opposed to bitmaps; Vector monitor, a display device used for early computers; Vector game, any video game that uses a vector graphics display

  4. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    Also abbreviated LRL vector. A vector used chiefly to describe the shape and orientation of the orbit of one astronomical body around another, such as a planet revolving around a star. For two bodies interacting by Newtonian gravity, the LRL vector is a constant of motion, meaning that it is the same no matter where it is calculated on the ...

  5. Word2vec - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec

    An extension of word vectors for creating a dense vector representation of unstructured radiology reports has been proposed by Banerjee et al. [23] One of the biggest challenges with Word2vec is how to handle unknown or out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words and morphologically similar words. If the Word2vec model has not encountered a particular word ...

  6. Word embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_embedding

    In natural language processing, a word embedding is a representation of a word. The embedding is used in text analysis.Typically, the representation is a real-valued vector that encodes the meaning of the word in such a way that the words that are closer in the vector space are expected to be similar in meaning. [1]

  7. Unit vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_vector

    In mathematics, a unit vector in a normed vector space is a vector (often a spatial vector) of length 1. A unit vector is often denoted by a lowercase letter with a circumflex, or "hat", as in ^ (pronounced "v-hat"). The normalized vector û of a non-zero vector u is the unit vector in the direction of u, i.e.,

  8. Vector calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus

    Vector calculus or vector analysis is a branch of mathematics concerned with the differentiation and integration of vector fields, primarily in three-dimensional Euclidean space, . [1] The term vector calculus is sometimes used as a synonym for the broader subject of multivariable calculus, which spans vector calculus as well as partial differentiation and multiple integration.

  9. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    The vector projection (also known as the vector component or vector resolution) of a vector a on (or onto) a nonzero vector b is the orthogonal projection of a onto a straight line parallel to b. The projection of a onto b is often written as proj b ⁡ a {\displaystyle \operatorname {proj} _{\mathbf {b} }\mathbf {a} } or a ∥ b .
