Augmented Tensor Decomposition with Stochastic Optimization


الملخص بالإنكليزية

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.
