Nonnegative CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (NCP) decomposition is an important tool to process nonnegative tensor. Sometimes, additional sparse regularization is needed to extract meaningful nonnegative and sparse components. Thus, an optimization method for NCP that can impose sparsity efficiently is required. In this paper, we construct NCP with sparse regularization (sparse NCP) by l1-norm. Several popular optimization methods in block coordinate descent framework are employed to solve the sparse NCP, all of which are deeply analyzed with mathematical solutions. We compare these methods by experiments on synthetic and real tensor data, both of which contain third-order and fourth-order cases. After comparison, the methods that have fast computation and high effectiveness to impose sparsity will be concluded. In addition, we proposed an accelerated method to compute the objective function and relative error of sparse NCP, which has significantly improved the computation of tensor decomposition especially for higher-order tensor.

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 heuris
tic 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.
The method of block coordinate gradient descent (BCD) has been a powerful method for large-scale optimization. This paper considers the BCD method that successively updates a series of blocks selected according to a Markov chain. This kind of block s
election is neither i.i.d. random nor cyclic. On the other hand, it is a natural choice for some applications in distributed optimization and Markov decision process, where i.i.d. random and cyclic selections are either infeasible or very expensive. By applying mixing-time properties of a Markov chain, we prove convergence of Markov chain BCD for minimizing Lipschitz differentiable functions, which can be nonconvex. When the functions are convex and strongly convex, we establish both sublinear and linear convergence rates, respectively. We also present a method of Markov chain inertial BCD. Finally, we discuss potential applications.
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 te
nsor 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.
Sampling from a log-concave distribution function is one core problem that has wide applications in Bayesian statistics and machine learning. While most gradient free methods have slow convergence rate, the Langevin Monte Carlo (LMC) that provides fa
st convergence requires the computation of gradients. In practice one uses finite-differencing approximations as surrogates, and the method is expensive in high-dimensions. A natural strategy to reduce computational cost in each iteration is to utilize random gradient approximations, such as random coordinate descent (RCD) or simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA). We show by a counter-example that blindly applying RCD does not achieve the goal in the most general setting. The high variance induced by the randomness means a larger number of iterations are needed, and this balances out the saving in each iteration. We then introduce a new variance reduction approach, termed Randomized Coordinates Averaging Descent (RCAD), and incorporate it with both overdamped and underdamped LMC. The methods are termed RCAD-O-LMC and RCAD-U-LMC respectively. The methods still sit in the random gradient approximation framework, and thus the computational cost in each iteration is low. However, by employing RCAD, the variance is reduced, so the methods converge within the same number of iterations as the classical overdamped and underdamped LMC. This leads to a computational saving overall.
Langevin Monte Carlo (LMC) is a popular Bayesian sampling method. For the log-concave distribution function, the method converges exponentially fast, up to a controllable discretization error. However, the method requires the evaluation of a full gra
dient in each iteration, and for a problem on $mathbb{R}^d$, this amounts to $d$ times partial derivative evaluations per iteration. The cost is high when $dgg1$. In this paper, we investigate how to enhance computational efficiency through the application of RCD (random coordinate descent) on LMC. There are two sides of the theory: 1 By blindly applying RCD to LMC, one surrogates the full gradient by a randomly selected directional derivative per iteration. Although the cost is reduced per iteration, the total number of iteration is increased to achieve a preset error tolerance. Ultimately there is no computational gain; 2 We then incorporate variance reduction techniques, such as SAGA (stochastic average gradient) and SVRG (stochastic variance reduced gradient), into RCD-LMC. It will be proved that the cost is reduced compared with the classical LMC, and in the underdamped case, convergence is achieved with the same number of iterations, while each iteration requires merely one-directional derivative. This means we obtain the best possible computational cost in the underdamped-LMC framework.
