The network compares each key vector to each query vector (by computing a dot product) to find the words that are the best match.—Timothy B. Lee and Sean Trott, Ars Technica, 31 July 2023 The group designed and simulated the parallel-mixed precision dot-product unit and found the computation time was nearly cut in half and the output accuracy improved, especially for dot products of large vectors.—Dina Genkina, IEEE Spectrum, 18 Oct. 2022 If two words diverge on the open seas & the dot product is without derivative, the intercept can be found only by Venn diagrams on the tongue.—Jennifer Gresham, Scientific American, 1 Feb. 2020
