Tensor Networks for Big Data Analytics and Large-Scale Optimization Problems

In this paper we review basic and emerging models and associated algorithms for large-scale tensor networks, especially Tensor Train (TT) decompositions using novel mathematical and graphical representations. We discus the concept of tensorization (i.e., creating very high-order tensors from lower-order original data) and super compression of data achieved via quantized tensor train (QTT) networks. The purpose of a tensorization and quantization is to achieve, via low-rank tensor approximations "super" compression, and meaningful, compact representation of structured data. The main objective of this paper is to show how tensor networks can be used to solve a wide class of big data optimization problems (that are far from tractable by classical numerical methods) by applying tensorization and performing all operations using relatively small size matrices and tensors and applying iteratively optimized and approximative tensor contractions. Keywords: Tensor networks, tensor train (TT) decompositions, matrix product states (MPS), matrix product operators (MPO), basic tensor operations, tensorization, distributed representation od data optimization problems for very large-scale problems: generalized eigenvalue decomposition (GEVD), PCA/SVD, canonical correlation analysis (CCA).Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1403.204

Very Large-Scale Singular Value Decomposition Using Tensor Train Networks

We propose new algorithms for singular value decomposition (SVD) of very large-scale matrices based on a low-rank tensor approximation technique called the tensor train (TT) format. The proposed algorithms can compute several dominant singular values and corresponding singular vectors for large-scale structured matrices given in a TT format. The computational complexity of the proposed methods scales logarithmically with the matrix size under the assumption that both the matrix and the singular vectors admit low-rank TT decompositions. The proposed methods, which are called the alternating least squares for SVD (ALS-SVD) and modified alternating least squares for SVD (MALS-SVD), compute the left and right singular vectors approximately through block TT decompositions. The very large-scale optimization problem is reduced to sequential small-scale optimization problems, and each core tensor of the block TT decompositions can be updated by applying any standard optimization methods. The optimal ranks of the block TT decompositions are determined adaptively during iteration process, so that we can achieve high approximation accuracy. Extensive numerical simulations are conducted for several types of TT-structured matrices such as Hilbert matrix, Toeplitz matrix, random matrix with prescribed singular values, and tridiagonal matrix. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods compared with standard SVD algorithms and TT-based algorithms developed for symmetric eigenvalue decomposition

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 $N$th-order $(I_1\times I_2\times \cdots \times I_N)$ data tensor $\underline{\mathbf{X}}$ 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 $N$. In addition, it is proved that, in the matrix case and in a particular case with $3$rd-order tensors where the same 2D sensor operator is applied to all mode-3 slices, the proposed reconstruction $\underline{\mathbf{X}}_\tau$ is stable in the sense that the approximation error is comparable to the one provided by the best low-multilinear-rank approximation, where $\tau$ 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 $\tau=\tau_0 > 0$ 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 $\tau=0$, 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

Multi-tensor Completion for Estimating Missing Values in Video Data

Many tensor-based data completion methods aim to solve image and video in-painting problems. But, all methods were only developed for a single dataset. In most of real applications, we can usually obtain more than one dataset to reflect one phenomenon, and all the datasets are mutually related in some sense. Thus one question raised whether such the relationship can improve the performance of data completion or not? In the paper, we proposed a novel and efficient method by exploiting the relationship among datasets for multi-video data completion. Numerical results show that the proposed method significantly improve the performance of video in-painting, particularly in the case of very high missing percentage
