A literature survey of low-rank tensor approximation techniques
During the last years, low-rank tensor approximation has been established as
a new tool in scientific computing to address large-scale linear and
multilinear algebra problems, which would be intractable by classical
techniques. This survey attempts to give a literature overview of current
developments in this area, with an emphasis on function-related tensors
Robust Subspace Learning: Robust PCA, Robust Subspace Tracking, and Robust Subspace Recovery
PCA is one of the most widely used dimension reduction techniques. A related
easier problem is "subspace learning" or "subspace estimation". Given
relatively clean data, both are easily solved via singular value decomposition
(SVD). The problem of subspace learning or PCA in the presence of outliers is
called robust subspace learning or robust PCA (RPCA). For long data sequences,
if one tries to use a single lower dimensional subspace to represent the data,
the required subspace dimension may end up being quite large. For such data, a
better model is to assume that it lies in a low-dimensional subspace that can
change over time, albeit gradually. The problem of tracking such data (and the
subspaces) while being robust to outliers is called robust subspace tracking
(RST). This article provides a magazine-style overview of the entire field of
robust subspace learning and tracking. In particular solutions for three
problems are discussed in detail: RPCA via sparse+low-rank matrix decomposition
(S+LR), RST via S+LR, and "robust subspace recovery (RSR)". RSR assumes that an
entire data vector is either an outlier or an inlier. The S+LR formulation
instead assumes that outliers occur on only a few data vector indices and hence
are well modeled as sparse corruptions.Comment: To appear, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, July 201
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
