calculus - Derivative of a Matrix with respect to a vector
$begingroup$
I know how to handle the derivative of a matrix with respect to a vector. I thought it is well-defined.
However, there is a sentence of paper says 'As the Matrix derivative with respect to a vector (set aside to a matrix) is no longer well-defined'. This sentence puzzled me a lot, why is no longer well-defined?
Biggggggggg thanks!
Paper link is Matrix Backpropagation for Deep Networks with Structured Layers.
The sentence locates at the bottom of the left column on page 3.
