We propose a new fast streaming algorithm for the tensor completion problem of imputing missing entries of a lowtubal-rank tensor using the tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD) algebraic framework. We show the t-SVD is a specialization of the well-studied block-term decomposition for third-order tensors, and we present an algorithm under this model that can track changing free submodules from incomplete streaming 2-D data. The proposed algorithm uses principles from incremental gradient descent on the Grassmann manifold of subspaces to solve the tensor completion problem with linear complexity and constant memory in the number of time samples. We provide a local expected linear convergence result for our algorithm. Our empirical results are competitive in accuracy but much faster in compute time than state-of-the-art tensor completion algorithms on real applications to recover temporal chemo-sensing and MRI data under limited sampling.

Semi-parametric tensor factor analysis by iteratively projected singular value decomposition
Abstract This paper introduces a general framework of Semi-parametric TEnsor Factor Analysis (STEFA) that focuses on the methodology and theory of low-rank tensor decomposition with auxiliary covariates. Semi-parametric TEnsor Factor Analysis models extend tensor factor models by incorporating auxiliary covariates in the loading matrices. We propose an algorithm of iteratively projected singular value decomposition (IP-SVD) for the semi-parametric estimation. It iteratively projects tensor data onto the linear space spanned by the basis functions of covariates and applies singular value decomposition on matricized tensors over each mode. We establish the convergence rates of the loading matrices and the core tensor factor. The theoretical results only require a sub-exponential noise distribution, which is weaker than the assumption of sub-Gaussian tail of noise in the literature. Compared with the Tucker decomposition, IP-SVD yields more accurate estimators with a faster convergence rate. Besides estimation, we propose several prediction methods with new covariates based on the STEFA model. On both synthetic and real tensor data, we demonstrate the efficacy of the STEFA model and the IP-SVD algorithm on both the estimation and prediction tasks.

The Tucker tensor decomposition is a natural extension of the singular value decomposition (SVD) to multiway data. We propose to accelerate Tucker tensor decomposition algorithms by using randomization and parallelization. We present two algorithms that scale to large data and many processors, significantly reduce both computation and communication cost compared to previous deterministic and randomized approaches, and obtain nearly the same approximation errors. The key idea in our algorithms is to perform randomized sketches with Kronecker-structured random matrices, which reduces computation compared to unstructured matrices and can be implemented using a fundamental tensor computational kernel. We provide probabilistic error analysis of our algorithms and implement a new parallel algorithm for the structured randomized sketch. Our experimental results demonstrate that our combination of randomization and parallelization achieves accurate Tucker decompositions much faster than alternative approaches. We observe up to a 16X speedup over the fastest deterministic parallel implementation on 3D simulation data.more » « less

Tucker decomposition is a low-rank tensor approximation that generalizes a truncated matrix singular value decomposition (SVD). Existing parallel software has shown that Tucker decomposition is particularly effective at compressing terabyte-sized multidimensional scientific simulation datasets, computing reduced representations that satisfy a specified approximation error. The general approach is to get a low-rank approximation of the input data by performing a sequence of matrix SVDs of tensor unfoldings, which tend to be short-fat matrices. In the existing approach, the SVD is performed by computing the eigendecomposition of the Gram matrix of the unfolding. This method sacrifices some numerical stability in exchange for lower computation costs and easier parallelization. We propose using a more numerically stable though more computationally expensive way to compute the SVD by pre- processing with a QR decomposition step and computing an SVD of only the small triangular factor. The more numerically stable approach allows us to achieve the same accuracy with half the working precision (for example, single rather than double precision). We demonstrate that our method scales as well as the existing approach, and the use of lower precision leads to an overall reduction in running time of up to a factor of 2 when using 10s to 1000s of processors. Using the same working precision, we are also able to compute Tucker decompositions with much smaller approximation error.more » « less

null (Ed.)We propose a new online algorithm, called TOUCAN, forthe tensor completion problem of imputing missing entriesof a low tubal-rank tensor using the tensor-tensor product (t-product) and tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD) al-gebraic framework. We also demonstrate TOUCAN’s abilityto track changing free submodules from highly incompletestreaming 2-D data. TOUCAN uses principles from incre-mental gradient descent on the Grassmann manifold to solvethe tensor completion problem with linear complexity andconstant memory in the number of time samples. We com-pare our results to state-of-the-art batch tensor completion al-gorithms and matrix completion algorithms. We show our re-sults on real applications to recover temporal MRI data underlimited sampling.more » « less

DeepTensor is a computationally efficient framework for low-rank decomposition of matrices and tensors using deep generative networks. We decompose a tensor as the product of low-rank tensor factors where each low-rank tensor is generated by a deep network (DN) that is trained in a self-supervised manner to minimize the mean-square approximation error. Our key observation is that the implicit regularization inherent in DNs enables them to capture nonlinear signal structures that are out of the reach of classical linear methods like the singular value decomposition (SVD) and principal components analysis (PCA). We demonstrate that the performance of DeepTensor is robust to a wide range of distributions and a computationally efficient drop-in replacement for the SVD, PCA, nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), and similar decompositions by exploring a range of real-world applications, including hyperspectral image denoising, 3D MRI tomography, and image classification.more » « less
