# Generic dimension vector-matrix multiply?

## Recommended Posts

Hi peeps\gurus, I have a matrix with dimensions m, n and a vector with dimension n. I want to multply the two together giving an output (obviously) of another vector. How do I do this in the general case? I''m using it for multiplying neuron activation by weight matrix for an artificial neural network but for various reasons, cannot get my head around exactly whats going on. Thanks for any help you can give. int Width = Matrix.GetWidth (), Height = Matrix.GetHeight (); assert ( Matrix.GetHeight () == size () ); for ( int i = 0; i < ; ++i ) { for ( int j = 0; j < ; ++j ) { } }

Well, for starters I'm going to have to make an assumption. Based on that assert statement you have I think you're looking at a representation like this:

[1 1 1 1 1] * [1 0 0 0]              [0 1 0 0]              [0 0 1 0]              [0 0 0 1]              [0 0 0 1]

      int Width = Matrix.GetWidth (), Height = Matrix.GetHeight ();assert ( Matrix.GetHeight () == Vector.size () );for ( int i = 0; i < Width; ++i ){   resultVector[i] = 0;   for ( int j = 0; j < Height; ++j )   {      // Note: Matrix[i][j] represents column i, row j      resultVector[i] += Matrix[i][j] * Vector[j];   }}
