Could you go back for a second and describe your problem a little bit more. It
sounds like you were doing the wrong operation. By SSE, you mean "Sum of Squared
Errors" of the 25000 length-80 vectors, right? In that case, using matrix
multiplication won't give you that. That will, in essence calculate the
dot-product of each of the 25000 length-80 vectors with *each* of the other
25000 length-80 vectors in addition to themselves. It seems to me like you want
something like this:

  SSE = sum(error * error, axis=-1)

Then SSE.shape == (25000,).
