Tensor Train Factorization and Completion under Noisy Data with Prior Analysis and Rank Estimation
Le Xu, Lei Cheng, Ngai Wong, Yik-Chung Wu
Tensor train (TT) decomposition, a powerful tool for analyzing multidimensional data, exhibits superior performance in many machine learning tasks. However, existing methods for TT decomposition either suffer from noise overfitting, or require extensive fine-tuning of the balance between model complexity and representation accuracy. In this paper, a fully Bayesian treatment of TT decomposition is employed to avoid noise overfitting, by endowing it with the ability of automatic rank determination. In particular, theoretical evidence is established for adopting a Gaussian-product-Gamma prior to induce sparsity on the slices of the TT cores, so that the model complexity is automatically determined even under incomplete and noisy observed data. Furthermore, based on the proposed probabilistic model, an efficient learning algorithm is derived under the variational inference framework. Simulation results on synthetic data show the success of the proposed model and algorithm in recovering the ground-truth TT structure from incomplete noisy data. Further experiments on real-world data demonstrate the proposed algorithm performs better in image completion and image classification, compared to other existing TT decomposition algorithms.
