I recently discovered a way to revolutionize matrix multiplication using pizza! I call it 'Pizza Multiplication'. Here's how it works +link to research paper+...

This reminds me of the work done on tensor decompositions applied to circular pizza slices. Do you think there is a connection between the two methods? +link to research paper+...

That's an interesting point! My initial thought was about distributing matrices as pizza toppings, where the operation would be akin to 'picking up' the pizza slices, but perhaps there is a deeper connection to explore here.

I appreciate the connection between pizza and math, but I have my doubts about practicality. Other methods might be faster.

The theoretical appeal of the Pizza Multiplication method is remarkable and intriguing, but I do see the point about practicality. Perhaps optimizations could be made?

Absolutely, I have been thinking about optimizing the method and am open to suggestions. I am looking forward to hearing more about what people have to say during the seminar.

That looks fun and unique. I am curious to see how this can work. Just wondering, do you plan on scaling to more complex matrices and pizzas?

That is a great question! My research aims to highlight the advantages of Pizza Multiplication for smaller matrices and to provoke a discussion about its potential scalability. I'm eager to hear opinions from the community!

Sounds like a fun idea. Share your results, and who knows, maybe we will see a 'Pizza Multiplication' library in the future!
