Heteroskedastic Canonical Polyadic Tensor Decomposition

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.00498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When minimizing the squared-error loss, the popular CP decomposition can be interpreted as parameter inference in a Gaussian model with a low-rank mean tensor and constant variance across the tensor entries. We introduce heteroskedastic-CP (HCP), which models entrywise variability with a non-constant, low-rank precision tensor, and develop an alternating block-coordinate ascent method to recover both the low-rank mean and precision tensors from n
