Could you provide some examples of recent numerical linear algebra inspired by machine learning? The only numerical linear algebra related to machine learning, in particular deep learning, is matrix multiplication due to convolution. I am curious what else in numerical linear algebra is impacting machine learning.

I suspect the OP is not talking about how deep nets are implemented, but rather how people are trying to understand how and why they work so well, or how to reverse-engineer knowledge out of a trained net, or how to train them faster, etc ...

In that space, you need quite a bit more than matrix multiplication.
