Tensorimuotoista

Tensorimuotoista is a Finnish term used to describe something that has the form or shape of a tensor. It is formed from the loanword tensor and the adjective-forming suffix -muotoinen, with the inflected partitive singular form tensorimuotoista. In Finnish, tensorimuotoinen is used attributively to indicate that a thing is arranged along multiple axes, i.e., in a tensor rather than a two-dimensional matrix. The word commonly appears in mathematics, physics, and data science.

In practice, researchers may refer to tensorimuotoista dataa or tensorimuotoista signaalia to emphasize that the data or signal is represented as a tensor. The concept is central to tensor algebra and multilinear algebra, underpinning operations such as tensor contraction, decomposition (CP, Tucker), and reshaping.

Grammatical note: as an adjective, tensorimuotoinen inflects to agree with the noun. Common forms include tensorimuotoisen, tensorimuotoista, tensorimuotoisia, tensorimuotoiset. The phrase tensorimuotoista dataa is typical when using the partitive singular with a non-count noun, whereas tensorimuotoiset tiedot would be used for a plural subject.
