1
Convert data to vectors
To turn information into lists of numbers so a computer model can use it.
Padrão de uso:
vectorize [data/text/documents/features]
Erro comum:
Do not use vectorize for any kind of digitizing; the result must be a vector or vector-like numerical representation.
Sinônimos
encode (broader; means convert into a coded form, not necessarily a vector)
|
embed (often means convert into a dense vector representation in machine learning)
|
featurize (means convert raw data into model features, usually but not always as vectors)
Antônimos
devectorize (rare; means convert from a vector representation back to a non-vector form)
|
decode (broader; means convert an encoded representation back into a more usable or understandable form)
Colocações
vectorize text
|vectorize documents
|vectorize a corpus
|vectorize features
|vectorize input data
|vectorize search queries
|vectorize customer reviews
|automatically vectorize data
|vectorized representation
|text vectorizer
Temas
computing
|data_science
|machine_learning
|artificial_intelligence
Exemplos
- Before training the classifier, the team vectorized thousands of product reviews.
- The app vectorizes each search query so it can compare meanings, not just keywords.
- The system vectorizes user profiles and then looks for similar patterns.
Exemplos para estudantes
- We vectorized the sentences before using the model.
- The data must be vectorized first.

2
Make code use vector operations
To make code run operations on many values at the same time instead of one by one.
Padrão de uso:
vectorize [code/a loop/a function/a calculation]
Erro comum:
Vectorize does not simply mean to use a variable called a vector; it usually means changing how the computation is performed.
Sinônimos
parallelize (broader; may use multiple cores or tasks, not specifically vector operations)
|
optimize (broader; can mean improve performance in many different ways)
|
rewrite (less specific; means change the code, not necessarily for vector operations)
Antônimos
scalarize (means convert vector operations into scalar, one-value-at-a-time operations)
|
de-vectorize (means remove vectorized processing or rewrite it as non-vector code)
Colocações
vectorize code
|vectorize a loop
|vectorize a function
|vectorize calculations
|vectorize operations
|vectorize a kernel
|automatically vectorize
|fully vectorize
|vectorized implementation
|compiler vectorizes
Temas
programming
|computing
|performance
|software_development
Exemplos
- Replacing the loop with a NumPy expression vectorized the calculation and cut the run time in half.
- Modern compilers can vectorize some loops automatically when the iterations are independent.
- She vectorized the image-processing code to use the CPU's SIMD instructions.
Exemplos para estudantes
- We vectorized the loop, so the program ran faster.
- This function is faster when it is vectorized.

3
Convert image to vector graphics
To turn a normal pixel image into a vector image that can be resized without becoming blurry.
Padrão de uso:
vectorize [an image/a logo/a drawing/artwork]
Erro comum:
Do not confuse vectorize with rasterize; rasterize means convert vector graphics into pixels, usually the opposite direction.
Sinônimos
trace (in graphics, often means create vector outlines from an image, either manually or automatically)
|
convert to vector (more explicit and common in nontechnical design instructions)
|
outline (can mean convert text or shapes into editable outlines, but is narrower)
Antônimos
rasterize (means convert vector graphics into a pixel-based image)
Colocações
vectorize an image
|vectorize a logo
|vectorize artwork
|vectorize a sketch
|vectorize a drawing
|vectorize a bitmap
|vectorize a raster file
|auto-vectorize a design
|vectorized logo
|vectorized artwork
Temas

|digital_art
|images
|printing
Exemplos
- The designer vectorized the old logo so it would stay sharp on a billboard.
- This tool can vectorize a scanned signature, but you may need to clean up the curves.
- After vectorizing the map, we could edit each road as a separate shape.
Exemplos para estudantes
- She vectorized the logo for printing.
- We need to vectorize this image before enlarging it.

4
Reshape into one vector
To turn a matrix or array into one long list of numbers in a fixed order.
Padrão de uso:
vectorize [a matrix/an array/a tensor]
Erro comum:
In mathematics and data work, specify row-wise or column-wise order if the order matters.
Sinônimos
flatten (common in programming; means make an array one-dimensional, often less formally)
|
reshape (broader; can change data into many shapes, not only a vector)
|
stack (describes one common method of making a vector from rows or columns)
Antônimos
unflatten (means restore a one-dimensional structure to a higher-dimensional shape)
|
reshape (can be the reverse when changing a vector back into a matrix or array)
Colocações
vectorize a matrix
|vectorize an array
|vectorize a tensor
|vectorize row-wise
|vectorize column-wise
|vectorize by rows
|vectorize by columns
|vectorized matrix
|matrix vectorization
|column-wise vectorization
Temas
mathematics
|statistics
|data_science
|linear_algebra
Exemplos
- In this proof, we vectorize the matrix by stacking its columns.
- The preprocessing step vectorizes each 28-by-28 image into a 784-element array.
- When you vectorize the tensor, make sure the software uses the same element order.
Exemplos para estudantes
- We vectorized the table into one long list of numbers.
- The matrix was vectorized column by column.
