Stable, Robust and Super Fast Reconstruction of Tensors Using Multi-Way Projections
In the framework of multidimensional Compressed Sensing (CS), we introduce an
analytical reconstruction formula that allows one to recover an th-order
data tensor
from a reduced set of multi-way compressive measurements by exploiting its low
multilinear-rank structure. Moreover, we show that, an interesting property of
multi-way measurements allows us to build the reconstruction based on
compressive linear measurements taken only in two selected modes, independently
of the tensor order . In addition, it is proved that, in the matrix case and
in a particular case with rd-order tensors where the same 2D sensor operator
is applied to all mode-3 slices, the proposed reconstruction
is stable in the sense that the approximation
error is comparable to the one provided by the best low-multilinear-rank
approximation, where is a threshold parameter that controls the
approximation error. Through the analysis of the upper bound of the
approximation error we show that, in the 2D case, an optimal value for the
threshold parameter exists, which is confirmed by our
simulation results. On the other hand, our experiments on 3D datasets show that
very good reconstructions are obtained using , which means that this
parameter does not need to be tuned. Our extensive simulation results
demonstrate the stability and robustness of the method when it is applied to
real-world 2D and 3D signals. A comparison with state-of-the-arts sparsity
based CS methods specialized for multidimensional signals is also included. A
very attractive characteristic of the proposed method is that it provides a
direct computation, i.e. it is non-iterative in contrast to all existing
sparsity based CS algorithms, thus providing super fast computations, even for
large datasets.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
Tensor Decompositions for Signal Processing Applications From Two-way to Multiway Component Analysis
The widespread use of multi-sensor technology and the emergence of big
datasets has highlighted the limitations of standard flat-view matrix models
and the necessity to move towards more versatile data analysis tools. We show
that higher-order tensors (i.e., multiway arrays) enable such a fundamental
paradigm shift towards models that are essentially polynomial and whose
uniqueness, unlike the matrix methods, is guaranteed under verymild and natural
conditions. Benefiting fromthe power ofmultilinear algebra as theirmathematical
backbone, data analysis techniques using tensor decompositions are shown to
have great flexibility in the choice of constraints that match data properties,
and to find more general latent components in the data than matrix-based
methods. A comprehensive introduction to tensor decompositions is provided from
a signal processing perspective, starting from the algebraic foundations, via
basic Canonical Polyadic and Tucker models, through to advanced cause-effect
and multi-view data analysis schemes. We show that tensor decompositions enable
natural generalizations of some commonly used signal processing paradigms, such
as canonical correlation and subspace techniques, signal separation, linear
regression, feature extraction and classification. We also cover computational
aspects, and point out how ideas from compressed sensing and scientific
computing may be used for addressing the otherwise unmanageable storage and
manipulation problems associated with big datasets. The concepts are supported
by illustrative real world case studies illuminating the benefits of the tensor
framework, as efficient and promising tools for modern signal processing, data
analysis and machine learning applications; these benefits also extend to
vector/matrix data through tensorization. Keywords: ICA, NMF, CPD, Tucker

Tensor Regression Networks
Convolutional neural networks typically consist of many convolutional layers
followed by one or more fully connected layers. While convolutional layers map
between high-order activation tensors, the fully connected layers operate on
flattened activation vectors. Despite empirical success, this approach has
notable drawbacks. Flattening followed by fully connected layers discards
multilinear structure in the activations and requires many parameters. We
address these problems by incorporating tensor algebraic operations that
preserve multilinear structure at every layer. First, we introduce Tensor
Contraction Layers (TCLs) that reduce the dimensionality of their input while
preserving their multilinear structure using tensor contraction. Next, we
introduce Tensor Regression Layers (TRLs), which express outputs through a
low-rank multilinear mapping from a high-order activation tensor to an output
tensor of arbitrary order. We learn the contraction and regression factors
end-to-end, and produce accurate nets with fewer parameters. Additionally, our
layers regularize networks by imposing low-rank constraints on the activations
(TCL) and regression weights (TRL). Experiments on ImageNet show that, applied
to VGG and ResNet architectures, TCLs and TRLs reduce the number of parameters
compared to fully connected layers by more than 65% while maintaining or
increasing accuracy. In addition to the space savings, our approach's ability
to leverage topological structure can be crucial for structured data such as
MRI. In particular, we demonstrate significant performance improvements over
comparable architectures on three tasks associated with the UK Biobank dataset
Bayesian Robust Tensor Factorization for Incomplete Multiway Data
We propose a generative model for robust tensor factorization in the presence
of both missing data and outliers. The objective is to explicitly infer the
underlying low-CP-rank tensor capturing the global information and a sparse
tensor capturing the local information (also considered as outliers), thus
providing the robust predictive distribution over missing entries. The
low-CP-rank tensor is modeled by multilinear interactions between multiple
latent factors on which the column sparsity is enforced by a hierarchical
prior, while the sparse tensor is modeled by a hierarchical view of Student-
distribution that associates an individual hyperparameter with each element
independently. For model learning, we develop an efficient closed-form
variational inference under a fully Bayesian treatment, which can effectively
prevent the overfitting problem and scales linearly with data size. In contrast
to existing related works, our method can perform model selection automatically
and implicitly without need of tuning parameters. More specifically, it can
discover the groundtruth of CP rank and automatically adapt the sparsity
inducing priors to various types of outliers. In addition, the tradeoff between
the low-rank approximation and the sparse representation can be optimized in
the sense of maximum model evidence. The extensive experiments and comparisons
with many state-of-the-art algorithms on both synthetic and real-world datasets
demonstrate the superiorities of our method from several perspectives.Comment: in IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 201
