Block-Randomized Stochastic Methods for Tensor Ring Decomposition (2303.16492v1)

Abstract: Tensor ring (TR) decomposition is a simple but effective tensor network for analyzing and interpreting latent patterns of tensors. In this work, we propose a doubly randomized optimization framework for computing TR decomposition. It can be regarded as a sensible mix of randomized block coordinate descent and stochastic gradient descent, and hence functions in a double-random manner and can achieve lightweight updates and a small memory footprint. Further, to improve the convergence, especially for ill-conditioned problems, we propose a scaled version of the framework that can be viewed as an adaptive preconditioned or diagonally-scaled variant. Four different probability distributions for selecting the mini-batch and the adaptive strategy for determining the step size are also provided. Finally, we present the theoretical properties and numerical performance for our proposals.
