Guaranteed Functional Tensor Singular Value Decomposition

This paper introduces the functional tensor singular value decomposition (FTSVD), a novel dimension reduction framework for tensors with one functional mode and several tabular modes. The problem is motivated by high-order longitudinal data analysis. Our model assumes the observed data to be a random realization of an approximate CP low-rank functional tensor measured on a discrete time grid. Incorporating tensor algebra and the theory of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS), we propose a novel RKHS-based constrained power iteration with spectral initialization. Our method can successfully estimate both singular vectors and functions of the low-rank structure in the observed data. With mild assumptions, we establish the non-asymptotic contractive error bounds for the proposed algorithm. The superiority of the proposed framework is demonstrated via extensive experiments on both simulated and real data.

Exact Clustering in Tensor Block Model: Statistical Optimality and Computational Limit

High-order clustering aims to identify heterogeneous substructures in multiway datasets that arise commonly in neuroimaging, genomics, social network studies, etc. The non-convex and discontinuous nature of this problem pose significant challenges in both statistics and computation. In this paper, we propose a tensor block model and the computationally efficient methods, \emph{high-order Lloyd algorithm} (HLloyd), and high-order spectral clustering (HSC), for high-order clustering. The convergence guarantees and statistical optimality are established for the proposed procedure under a mild sub-Gaussian noise assumption. Under the Gaussian tensor block model, we completely characterize the statistical-computational trade-off for achieving high-order exact clustering based on three different signal-to-noise ratio regimes. The analysis relies on new techniques of high-order spectral perturbation analysis and a ``singular-value-gap-free'' error bound in tensor estimation, which are substantially different from the matrix spectral analyses in the literature. Finally, we show the merits of the proposed procedures via extensive experiments on both synthetic and real datasets.

On the Non-Asymptotic Concentration of Heteroskedastic Wishart-type Matrix

This paper focuses on the non-asymptotic concentration of the heteroskedastic Wishart-type matrices. Suppose $Z$ is a $p_1$-by-$p_2$ random matrix and $Z_{ij} \sim N(0,σ_{ij}^2)$ independently, we prove the expected spectral norm of Wishart matrix deviations (i.e., $\mathbb{E} \left\|ZZ^\top - \mathbb{E} ZZ^\top\right\|$) is upper bounded by \begin{equation*} \begin{split} (1+ε)\left\{2σ_Cσ_R + σ_C^2 + Cσ_Rσ_*\sqrt{\log(p_1 \wedge p_2)} + Cσ_*^2\log(p_1 \wedge p_2)\right\}, \end{split} \end{equation*} where $σ_C^2 := \max_j \sum_{i=1}^{p_1}σ_{ij}^2$, $σ_R^2 := \max_i \sum_{j=1}^{p_2}σ_{ij}^2$ and $σ_*^2 := \max_{i,j}σ_{ij}^2$. A minimax lower bound is developed that matches this upper bound. Then, we derive the concentration inequalities, moments, and tail bounds for the heteroskedastic Wishart-type matrix under more general distributions, such as sub-Gaussian and heavy-tailed distributions. Next, we consider the cases where $Z$ has homoskedastic columns or rows (i.e., $σ_{ij} \approx σ_i$ or $σ_{ij} \approx σ_j$) and derive the rate-optimal Wishart-type concentration bounds. Finally, we apply the developed tools to identify the sharp signal-to-noise ratio threshold for consistent clustering in the heteroskedastic clustering problem.

A Schatten-$q$ Low-rank Matrix Perturbation Analysis via Perturbation Projection Error Bound

This paper studies the Schatten-$q$ error of low-rank matrix estimation by singular value decomposition under perturbation. We specifically establish a perturbation bound on the low-rank matrix estimation via a perturbation projection error bound. Then, we establish lower bounds to justify the tightness of the upper bound on the low-rank matrix estimation error. We further develop a user-friendly sin$Θ$ bound for singular subspace perturbation based on the matrix perturbation projection error bound. Finally, we demonstrate the advantage of our results over the ones in the literature by simulation.

An Optimal Statistical and Computational Framework for Generalized Tensor Estimation

This paper describes a flexible framework for generalized low-rank tensor estimation problems that includes many important instances arising from applications in computational imaging, genomics, and network analysis. The proposed estimator consists of finding a low-rank tensor fit to the data under generalized parametric models. To overcome the difficulty of non-convexity in these problems, we introduce a unified approach of projected gradient descent that adapts to the underlying low-rank structure. Under mild conditions on the loss function, we establish both an upper bound on statistical error and the linear rate of computational convergence through a general deterministic analysis. Then we further consider a suite of generalized tensor estimation problems, including sub-Gaussian tensor PCA, tensor regression, and Poisson and binomial tensor PCA. We prove that the proposed algorithm achieves the minimax optimal rate of convergence in estimation error. Finally, we demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework via extensive experiments on both simulated and real data.

Optimal Sparse Singular Value Decomposition for High-dimensional High-order Data

In this article, we consider the sparse tensor singular value decomposition, which aims for dimension reduction on high-dimensional high-order data with certain sparsity structure. A method named Sparse Tensor Alternating Thresholding for Singular Value Decomposition (STAT-SVD) is proposed. The proposed procedure features a novel double projection \& thresholding scheme, which provides a sharp criterion for thresholding in each iteration. Compared with regular tensor SVD model, STAT-SVD permits more robust estimation under weaker assumptions. Both the upper and lower bounds for estimation accuracy are developed. The proposed procedure is shown to be minimax rate-optimal in a general class of situations. Simulation studies show that STAT-SVD performs well under a variety of configurations. We also illustrate the merits of the proposed procedure on a longitudinal tensor dataset on European country mortality rates.
