A Novel Tensor Decomposition of arbitrary order based on Block Convolution with Reflective Boundary Conditions for Multi-Dimensional Data Analysis
share
Tensor decompositions are powerful tools for analyzing multi-dimensional data in their original format. Besides tensor decompositions like Tucker and CP, Tensor SVD (t-SVD) which is based on the t-product of tensors is another extension of SVD to tensors that recently developed and has found numerous applications in analyzing high dimensional data. This paper offers a new insight into the t-Product and shows that this product is a block convolution of two tensors with periodic boundary conditions. Based on this viewpoint, we propose a new tensor-tensor product called the ⋆_c-Product based on Block convolution with reflective boundary conditions. Using a tensor framework, this product can be easily extended to tensors of arbitrary order. Additionally, we introduce a tensor decomposition based on our ⋆_c-Product for arbitrary order tensors. Compared to t-SVD, our new decomposition has lower complexity, and experiments show that it yields higher-quality results in applications such as classification and compression.
