Question: what is np.dot in python?
Answer: numpy.dot(vector_a, vector_b, out = None) returns the dot product of vectors a and b. It can handle 2D arrays but considering them as matrix and will perform matrix multiplication. For N dimensions it is a sum product over the last axis of a and the second-to-last of b : dot(a, b)[i,j,k,m] = sum(a[i,j,:] * b[k,:,m])
