When is a Jacobian Matrix not diagonal?












0












$begingroup$


According to this article (See: the section "Derivatives of vector element-wise binary operators"), Jacobian Matrix is nothing but a Diagonal Identity Matrix.



I am failing to understand What is so special about Jacobian Matrix then? Why don't we talk about an Identity matrix then?

From the article,




That's quite a furball, but fortunately the Jacobian is very often a
diagonal matrix, a matrix that is zero everywhere but the diagonal.




is just an empirical claim that most of the Jacobians that you meet in this domain (deep learning according to this article) are diagonal. It is not true in general.
