Introduction
The first book of this series was dedicated to introducing matrices and tensors (of order greater than two) from the perspective of their algebraic structure, presenting their similarities, differences and connections with representations of linear, bilinear and multilinear mappings. This second volume will now study tensor operations and decompositions in greater depth.
In this introduction, we will motivate the use of tensors by answering five questions that prospective users might and should ask:
– What are the advantages of tensor approaches?
– For what uses?
– In what fields of application?
– With what tensor decompositions?
– With what cost functions and optimization algorithms?
Although our answers are necessarily incomplete, our aim is to:
– present the advantages of tensor approaches over matrix approaches;
– show a few examples of how tensor tools can be used;
– give an overview of the extensive diversity of problems that can be solved using tensors, including a few example applications;
– introduce the three most widely used tensor decompositions, presenting some of their properties and comparing their parametric complexity;
– state a few problems based on tensor models in terms of the cost functions to be optimized;
– describe various types of tensor-based processing, with a brief glimpse of the optimization methods that can be used.
I.1. What are the advantages of tensor approaches?
In most applications, a tensor χ of order N is viewed as an array of real or complex numbers. The current element of the tensor is denoted xi1,… ,iN, where each index
In general, a mode (also called a way) can have one of the following interpretations: (i) as a source of information (user, patient, client, trial, etc.); (ii) as a type of entity attached to the data (items/products, types of music, types of film, etc.); (iii) as a tag that characterizes an item, a piece of music, a film, etc.; (iv) as a recording modality that captures diversity in various domains (space, time, frequency, wavelength, polarization, color, etc.). Thus, a digital image in color can be represented as a three-dimensional tensor (of pixels) with two spatial modes, one for the rows (width) and one for the columns (height), and one channel mode (RGB colors). For example, a color image can be represented as a tensor of size 1024 × 768 × 3, where the third mode corresponds to the intensity of the three RGB colors (red, green, blue). For a volumetric image, there are three spatial modes (width × height × depth), and the points of the image are called voxels. In the context of hyperspectral imagery, in addition to the two spatial dimensions, there is a third dimension corresponding to the emission wavelength within a spectral band.
Tensor approaches benefit from the following advantages over matrix approaches:
– the essential uniqueness property2, satisfied by some tensor decompositions, such as PARAFAC (parallel factors) (Harshman 1970) under certain mild conditions; for matrix decompositions, this property requires certain restrictive conditions on the factor matrices, such as orthogonality, non-negativity, or a specific structure (triangular, Vandermonde, Toeplitz, etc.);
– the ability to solve certain problems, such as the identification of communication channels, directly from measured signals, without requiring the calculation of high-order statistics of these signals or the use of long pilot sequences. The resulting deterministic and semi-blind processings can be performed with signal recordings that are shorter than those required by statistical methods, based on the estimation of high-order
