Let's analyze the student's code to determine if it is vectorized and meets the requirement of not using explicit for loops. 1. **Function Definition and Docstring**: - The function `diff` is defined to calculate the squared Euclidean distance between each row of `out` and each row of `templates`. - The arguments are `out` (an array of shape (N, D)) and `templates` (an array of shape (M, D)). - The function is supposed to return an array of shape (N, M) containing the squared distances. 2. **Vectorization Check**: - The student uses `np.newaxis` to add new dimensions to `out` and `templates`, resulting in broadcasting. - `out[:, np.newaxis, :]` changes the shape of `out` from (N, D) to (N, 1, D). - `templates[np.newaxis, :, :]` changes the shape of `templates` from (M, D) to (1, M, D). - The subtraction operation `out[:, np.newaxis, :] - templates[np.newaxis, :, :]` leverages broadcasting to compute the difference between each pair of rows from `out` and `templates`, resulting in an array of shape (N, M, D). - Squaring the differences and summing along the last axis (`axis=2`) computes the squared Euclidean distances, resulting in an array of shape (N, M). 3. **Efficiency and Correctness**: - The code does not use any explicit for loops. - The operations are performed using NumPy's broadcasting and vectorized operations, which are efficient and avoid explicit iteration. Based on the analysis, the student's code is indeed vectorized and meets the requirement of not using explicit for loops. **Conclusion**: The student passes.

Let's analyze the student's code step by step to determine if it is vectorized and efficient. 1. **Function Definition and Docstring**: - The function `diff` is defined to calculate the squared Euclidean distance between each row of `out` and each row of `templates`. - The input arrays `out` and `templates` have shapes `(N, D)` and `(M, D)` respectively. - The output should be an array of shape `(N, M)` containing the squared distances. 2. **Broadcasting**: - The student uses broadcasting to compute the differences between each pair of rows from `out` and `templates`. - `out[:, np.newaxis, :]` reshapes `out` to shape `(N, 1, D)`. - `templates[np.newaxis, :, :]` reshapes `templates` to shape `(1, M, D)`. - The subtraction `out[:, np.newaxis, :] - templates[np.newaxis, :, :]` results in an array of shape `(N, M, D)` where each element `(i, j, :)` is the difference between the `i`-th row of `out` and the `j`-th row of `templates`. 3. **Squared Differences and Summation**: - The squared differences are computed element-wise by raising the result of the subtraction to the power of 2. - `np.sum(..., axis=2)` sums these squared differences along the last axis (D), resulting in an array of shape `(N, M)`. 4. **Efficiency**: - The use of broadcasting and element-wise operations ensures that the computation is performed without explicit for loops. - This approach leverages NumPy's optimized C implementations for array operations, making it efficient. Given the above analysis, the student's code is indeed vectorized and does not use explicit for loops. It efficiently computes the squared Euclidean distances using broadcasting and vectorized operations. **Conclusion**: The student passes.

Let's analyze the student's code to determine if it is vectorized and efficient. The goal is to calculate the squared Euclidean distance between each vector in `out` and each vector in `templates`. The squared Euclidean distance between two vectors \( \mathbf{x} \) and \( \mathbf{y} \) is given by: \[ \|\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y}\|^2 = \sum_{d} (x_d - y_d)^2 = \sum_{d} x_d^2 + \sum_{d} y_d^2 - 2 \sum_{d} x_d y_d \] The student's code implements this formula in a vectorized manner using NumPy operations. Let's break down the code: 1. **Dot Product Term**: `-2 * np.dot(out, templates.T)` - This computes the term \(-2 \sum_{d} x_d y_d\) for all pairs of vectors in `out` and `templates`. 2. **Sum of Squares for `out`**: `np.sum(out**2, axis=1)[:, None]` - This computes \(\sum_{d} x_d^2\) for each vector in `out` and reshapes it to be compatible for broadcasting. 3. **Sum of Squares for `templates`**: `np.sum(templates**2, axis=1)` - This computes \(\sum_{d} y_d^2\) for each vector in `templates`. 4. **Combining the Terms**: The final return statement combines these terms to produce the squared Euclidean distance matrix of shape (N, M). The code avoids explicit for loops and leverages NumPy's efficient array operations, which are inherently vectorized. This approach ensures that the computation is performed efficiently. Given this analysis, the student's code is indeed vectorized and meets the requirement of avoiding explicit for loops. **Conclusion**: The student passes.

Let's analyze the student's code to determine if it is vectorized and meets the requirement of not using explicit for loops. The function `diff` is supposed to calculate the squared Euclidean distance between each row of `out` and each row of `templates`. The shapes of the input arrays are `(N, D)` for `out` and `(M, D)` for `templates`. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the code: 1. **Broadcasting**: - `out[:, np.newaxis, :]` reshapes `out` from `(N, D)` to `(N, 1, D)`. - `templates[np.newaxis, :, :]` reshapes `templates` from `(M, D)` to `(1, M, D)`. 2. **Subtraction**: - The subtraction `out[:, np.newaxis, :] - templates[np.newaxis, :, :]` leverages broadcasting to compute the difference between each pair of rows from `out` and `templates`. The result is an array of shape `(N, M, D)`. 3. **Squaring**: - The element-wise squaring operation `** 2` is applied to the difference array, maintaining the shape `(N, M, D)`. 4. **Summation**: - `np.sum(..., axis=2)` sums the squared differences along the last axis (D), resulting in an array of shape `(N, M)`. This array contains the squared Euclidean distances between each row of `out` and each row of `templates`. The entire operation is performed using NumPy's broadcasting and vectorized operations, without any explicit for loops. This approach is efficient and leverages the power of NumPy for element-wise operations and broadcasting. Given this analysis, the student's code is indeed vectorized and meets the requirement of not using explicit for loops. **Conclusion**: The student passes.
