Nontraditional tensor decompositions and applications

Bader, Brett W.

This presentation will discuss two tensor decompositions that are not as well known as PARAFAC (parallel factors) and Tucker, but have proven useful in informatics applications. Three-way DEDICOM (decomposition into directional components) is an algebraic model for the analysis of 3-way arrays with nonsymmetric slices. PARAFAC2 is a related model that is less constrained than PARAFAC and allows for different objects in one mode. Applications of both models to informatics problems will be shown.
