tf_decompose

CP and Tucker tensor decompositions implemented in TensorFlow.

Installation

pip install tf_decompose

Usage

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
from tf_decompose import KruskalTensor

X = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=np.float32)
KT_X = KruskalTensor(X.shape, rank=2, dtype=tf.float32)
opt = tf.train.AdadeltaOptimizer(0.05)
X_predict = KT_X.train_als_early(X, opt, epochs=10000)
print(X_predict)

Notes on ALS gradient computation

• For CP decomposition we use alternating least squares (ALS) over component matrices, but do not compute the exact solution as in Kolda & Bader (2009) due to the computational demands of computing large matrix inversions.
• In our tests we find inferior results to the exact solution descent method (requires inverting potentially huge matrices) implemented in scikit-tensor with ~.80 vs. ~.90 fit with decomposed rank-3 tensors on the Sensory Bread dataset.
• tf-decompose parallelized on GPU was approximately 20 times faster than scikit-tensor for a rank-200 decomposition of a random tensor with 60 million parameters.

Tucker tensors

Preliminary results: with sensory bread data, TuckerTensor.hosvd seems to perform quite poorly, while TuckerTensor.hooi and DecomposedTensor.train_als learn reconstructions with fit ~0.70.
