Efficient algorithms for Tucker decomposition via approximate matrix multiplication

Abstract

This paper develops fast and efficient algorithms for computing Tucker decomposition with a given multilinear rank. By combining random projection and the power scheme, we propose two efficient randomized versions for the truncated high-order singular value decomposition (T-HOSVD) and the sequentially T-HOSVD (ST-HOSVD), which are two common algorithms for approximating Tucker decomposition. To reduce the complexities of these two algorithms, fast and efficient algorithms are designed by combining two algorithms and approximate matrix multiplication. The theoretical results are also achieved based on the bounds of singular values of standard Gaussian matrices and the theoretical results for approximate matrix multiplication. Finally, the efficiency of these algorithms is illustrated via some test tensors from synthetic and real datasets.
