Low-rank tensor decomposition generalizes low-rank matrix approximation and is a powerful technique for discovering low-dimensional structure in high-dimensional data. In this paper, we study Tucker decompositions and use tools from randomized numerical linear algebra called ridge leverage scores to accelerate the core tensor update step in the widely-used alternating least squares (ALS) algorithm. Updating the core tensor, a severe bottleneck in ALS, is a highly-structured ridge regression problem where the design matrix is a Kronecker product of the factor matrices. We show how to use approximate ridge leverage scores to construct a sketched instance for any ridge regression problem such that the solution vector for the sketched problem is a $(1+varepsilon)$-approximation to the original instance. Moreover, we show that classical leverage scores suffice as an approximation, which then allows us to exploit the Kronecker structure and update the core tensor in time that depends predominantly on the rank and the sketching parameters (i.e., sublinear in the size of the input tensor). We also give upper bounds for ridge leverage scores as rows are removed from the design matrix (e.g., if the tensor has missing entries), and we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approximate ridge regressioni algorithm for large, low-rank Tucker decompositions on both synthetic and real-world data.

We explain theoretically a curious empirical phenomenon: Approximating a matrix by deterministically selecting a subset of its columns with the corresponding largest leverage scores results in a good low-rank matrix surrogate. To obtain provable guarantees, previous work requires randomized sampling of the columns with probabilities proportional to their leverage scores. In this work, we provide a novel theoretical analysis of deterministic leverage score sampling. We show that such deterministic sampling can be provably as accurate as its randomized counterparts, if the leverage scores follow a moderately steep power-law decay. We support this power-law assumption by providing empirical evidence that such decay laws are abundant in real-world data sets. We then demonstrate empirically the performance of deterministic leverage score sampling, which many times matches or outperforms the state-of-the-art techniques.
Nystrom approximation is a fast randomized method that rapidly solves kernel ridge regression (KRR) problems through sub-sampling the n-by-n empirical kernel matrix appearing in the objective function. However, the performance of such a sub-sampling method heavily relies on correctly estimating the statistical leverage scores for forming the sampling distribution, which can be as costly as solving the original KRR. In this work, we propose a linear time (modulo poly-log terms) algorithm to accurately approximate the statistical leverage scores in the stationary-kernel-based KRR with theoretical guarantees. Particularly, by analyzing the first-order condition of the KRR objective, we derive an analytic formula, which depends on both the input distribution and the spectral density of stationary kernels, for capturing the non-uniformity of the statistical leverage scores. Numerical experiments demonstrate that with the same prediction accuracy our method is orders of magnitude more efficient than existing methods in selecting the representative sub-samples in the Nystrom approximation.
We study algorithms for estimating the statistical leverage scores of rectangular dense or sparse matrices of arbitrary rank. Our approach is based on combining rank revealing methods with compositions of dense and sparse randomized dimensionality reduction transforms. We first develop a set of fast novel algorithms for rank estimation, column subset selection and least squares preconditioning. We then describe the design and implementation of leverage score estimators based on these primitives. These estimators are also effective for rank deficient input, which is frequently the case in data analytics applications. We provide detailed complexity analyses for all algorithms as well as meaningful approximation bounds and comparisons with the state-of-the-art. We conduct extensive numerical experiments to evaluate our algorithms and to illustrate their properties and performance using synthetic and real world data sets.
We present an algorithmic framework for quantum-inspired classical algorithms on close-to-low-rank matrices, generalizing the series of results started by Tangs breakthrough quantum-inspired algorithm for recommendation systems [STOC19]. Motivated by quantum linear algebra algorithms and the quantum singular value transformation (SVT) framework of Gilyen et al. [STOC19], we develop classical algorithms for SVT that run in time independent of input dimension, under suitable quantum-inspired sampling assumptions. Our results give compelling evidence that in the corresponding QRAM data structure input model, quantum SVT does not yield exponential quantum speedups. Since the quantum SVT framework generalizes essentially all known techniques for quantum linear algebra, our results, combined with sampling lemmas from previous work, suffice to generalize all recent results about dequantizing quantum machine learning algorithms. In particular, our classical SVT framework recovers and often improves the dequantization results on recommendation systems, principal component analysis, supervised clustering, support vector machines, low-rank regression, and semidefinite program solving. We also give additional dequantization results on low-rank Hamiltonian simulation and discriminant analysis. Our improvements come from identifying the key feature of the quantum-inspired input model that is at the core of all prior quantum-inspired results: $ell^2$-norm sampling can approximate matrix products in time independent of their dimension. We reduce all our main results to this fact, making our exposition concise, self-contained, and intuitive.
This work considers low-rank canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) under a class of non-Euclidean loss functions that frequently arise in statistical machine learning and signal processing. These loss functions are often used for certain types of tensor data, e.g., count and binary tensors, where the least squares loss is considered unnatural.Compared to the least squares loss, the non-Euclidean losses are generally more challenging to handle. Non-Euclidean CPD has attracted considerable interests and a number of prior works exist. However, pressing computational and theoretical challenges, such as scalability and convergence issues, still remain. This work offers a unified stochastic algorithmic framework for large-scale CPD decomposition under a variety of non-Euclidean loss functions. Our key contribution lies in a tensor fiber sampling strategy-based flexible stochastic mirror descent framework. Leveraging the sampling scheme and the multilinear algebraic structure of low-rank tensors, the proposed lightweight algorithm ensures global convergence to a stationary point under reasonable conditions. Numerical results show that our framework attains promising non-Euclidean CPD performance. The proposed framework also exhibits substantial computational savings compared to state-of-the-art methods.
