LoadTensorDecompositions is a module of SmartTensors.
NTFk performs a novel unsupervised Machine Learning (ML) method based on Tensor Decomposition coupled with sparsity and nonnegativity constraints.
NTFk has been applied to extract the temporal and spatial footprints of the features in multi-dimensional datasets in the form of multi-way arrays or tensors.
NTFk executes the decomposition (factorization) of a given tensor by minimization of the Frobenius norm:
where:
is the dimensionality of the tensor
is a "mixing" core tensor
are "feature” factors (in the form of vectors or matrices)
is a tensor product applied to fold-in factors
The product is an estimate of
(
).
The reconstruction error is expected to be random uncorrelated noise.
is a
-dimensional tensor with a size and a rank lower than the size and the rank of
.
The size of tensor
defines the number of extracted features (signals) in each of the tensor dimensions.
The factor matrices represent the extracted features (signals) in each of the tensor dimensions.
The number of matrix columns equals the number of features in the respective tensor dimensions (if there is only 1 column, the particular factor is a vector).
The number of matrix rows in each factor (matrix)
equals the size of tensor X in the respective dimensions.
The elements of tensor define how the features along each dimension (
) are mixed to represent the original tensor
.
NTFk can perform Tensor Decomposition using Candecomp/Parafac (CP) or Tucker decomposition models.
Some of the decomposition models can theoretically lead to unique solutions under specific, albeit rarely satisfied, noiseless conditions.
When these conditions are not satisfied, additional minimization constraints can assist the factorization.
A popular approach is to add sparsity and nonnegative constraints.
Sparsity constraints on the elements of G reduce the number of features and their mixing (by having as many zero entries as possible).
Nonnegativity enforces parts-based representation of the original data which also allows the Tensor Decomposition results for and
to be easily interrelated Cichocki et al, 2009.
