Tensor decomposition is a well-known tool for multiway data analysis. This work proposes using stochastic gradients for efficient generalized canonical polyadic (GCP) tensor decomposition of large-scale tensors. GCP tensor decomposition is a recently proposed version of tensor decomposition that allows for a variety of loss functions such as Bernoulli loss for binary data or Huber loss for robust estimation. The stochastic gradient is formed from randomly sampled elements of the tensor and is efficient because it can be computed using the sparse matricized-tensor-times-Khatri-Rao product (MTTKRP) tensor kernel. For dense tensors, we simply use uniform sampling. For sparse tensors, we propose two types of stratified sampling that give precedence to sampling nonzeros. Numerical results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach and its scalability to large-scale problems.

Tensor decompositions are powerful tools for dimensionality reduction and feature interpretation of multidimensional data such as signals. Existing tensor decomposition objectives (e.g., Frobenius norm) are designed for fitting raw data under statistical assumptions, which may not align with downstream classification tasks. Also, real-world tensor data are usually high-ordered and have large dimensions with millions or billions of entries. Thus, it is expensive to decompose the whole tensor with traditional algorithms. In practice, raw tensor data also contains redundant information while data augmentation techniques may be used to smooth out noise in samples. This paper addresses the above challenges by proposing augmented tensor decomposition (ATD), which effectively incorporates data augmentations to boost downstream classification. To reduce the memory footprint of the decomposition, we propose a stochastic algorithm that updates the factor matrices in a batch fashion. We evaluate ATD on multiple signal datasets. It shows comparable or better performance (e.g., up to 15% in accuracy) over self-supervised and autoencoder baselines with less than 5% of model parameters, achieves 0.6% ~ 1.3% accuracy gain over other tensor-based baselines, and reduces the memory footprint by 9X when compared to standard tensor decomposition algorithms.
We propose an accurate data-driven numerical scheme to solve Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs), by taking large time steps. The SDE discretization is built up by means of a polynomial chaos expansion method, on the basis of accurately determined stochastic collocation (SC) points. By employing an artificial neural network to learn these SC points, we can perform Monte Carlo simulations with large time steps. Error analysis confirms that this data-driven scheme results in accurate SDE solutions in the sense of strong convergence, provided the learning methodology is robust and accurate. With a variant method called the compression-decompression collocation and interpolation technique, we can drastically reduce the number of neural network functions that have to be learned, so that computational speed is enhanced. Numerical results show the high quality strong convergence error results, when using large time steps, and the novel scheme outperforms some classical numerical SDE discretizations. Some applications, here in financial option valuation, are also presented.
This paper is concerned with improving the empirical convergence speed of block-coordinate descent algorithms for approximate nonnegative tensor factorization (NTF). We propose an extrapolation strategy in-between block updates, referred to as heuristic extrapolation with restarts (HER). HER significantly accelerates the empirical convergence speed of most existing block-coordinate algorithms for dense NTF, in particular for challenging computational scenarios, while requiring a negligible additional computational budget.
Random projections reduce the dimension of a set of vectors while preserving structural information, such as distances between vectors in the set. This paper proposes a novel use of row-product random matrices in random projection, where we call it Tensor Random Projection (TRP). It requires substantially less memory than existing dimension reduction maps. The TRP map is formed as the Khatri-Rao product of several smaller random projections, and is compatible with any base random projection including sparse maps, which enable dimension reduction with very low query cost and no floating point operations. We also develop a reduced variance extension. We provide a theoretical analysis of the bias and variance of the TRP, and a non-asymptotic error analysis for a TRP composed of two smaller maps. Experiments on both synthetic and MNIST data show that our method performs as well as conventional methods with substantially less storage.
We consider a low-rank tensor completion (LRTC) problem which aims to recover a tensor from incomplete observations. LRTC plays an important role in many applications such as signal processing, computer vision, machine learning, and neuroscience. A widely used approach is to combine the tensor completion data fitting term with a regularizer based on a convex relaxation of the multilinear ranks of the tensor. For the data fitting function, we model the tensor variable by using the Canonical Polyadic (CP) decomposition and for the low-rank promoting regularization function, we consider a graph Laplacian-based function which exploits correlations between the rows of the matrix unfoldings. For solving our LRTC model, we propose an efficient alternating minimization algorithm. Furthermore, based on the Kurdyka-{L}ojasiewicz property, we show that the sequence generated by the proposed algorithm globally converges to a critical point of the objective function. Besides, an alternating direction method of multipliers algorithm is also developed for the LRTC model. Extensive numerical experiments on synthetic and real data indicate that the proposed algorithms are effective and efficient.
