  • the real Eigenpairs of symmetric tensors and its application to independent component analysis
    IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics, 2021
    Co-Authors: Lei Wang, Xiurui Geng
    Abstract:

    It has been proved that the determination of independent components (ICs) in the independent component analysis (ICA) can be attributed to calculating the Eigenpairs of high-order statistical tensors of the data. However, previous works can only obtain approximate solutions, which may affect the accuracy of the ICs. In addition, the number of ICs would need to be set manually. Recently, an algorithm based on semidefinite programming (SDP) has been proposed, which utilizes the first-order gradient information of the Lagrangian function and can obtain all the accurate real Eigenpairs. In this article, for the first time, we introduce this into the ICA field, which tends to further improve the accuracy of the ICs. Note that the number of Eigenpairs of symmetric tensors is usually larger than the number of ICs, indicating that the results directly obtained by SDP are redundant. Thus, in practice, it is necessary to introduce second-order derivative information to identify local extremum solutions. Therefore, originating from the SDP method, we present a new modified version, called modified SDP (MSDP), which incorporates the concept of the projected Hessian matrix into SDP and, thus, can intellectually exclude redundant ICs and select true ICs. Some cases that have been tested in the experiments demonstrate its effectiveness. Experiments on the image/sound blind separation and real multi/hyperspectral image also show its superiority in improving the accuracy of ICs and automatically determining the number of ICs. In addition, the results on hyperspectral simulation and real data also demonstrate that MSDP is also capable of dealing with cases, where the number of features is less than the number of ICs.

  • npsa nonorthogonal principal skewness analysis
    IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2020
    Co-Authors: Xiurui Geng, Lei Wang
    Abstract:

    Principal skewness analysis (PSA) has been introduced for feature extraction in hyperspectral imagery. As a third-order generalization of principal component analysis (PCA), its solution of searching for the local maximum skewness direction is transformed into the problem of calculating the Eigenpairs (the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors) of a coskewness tensor. By combining a fixed-point method with an orthogonal constraint, the new Eigenpairs are prevented from converging to the same previously determined maxima. However, in general, the eigenvectors of the supersymmetric tensor are not inherently orthogonal, which implies that the results obtained by the search strategy used in PSA may unavoidably deviate from the actual Eigenpairs. In this paper, we propose a new nonorthogonal search strategy to solve this problem and the new algorithm is named nonorthogonal principal skewness analysis (NPSA). The contribution of NPSA lies in the finding that the search space of the eigenvector to be determined can be enlarged by using the orthogonal complement of the Kronecker product of the previous eigenvector with itself, instead of its orthogonal complement space. We also give a detailed theoretical proof on why we can obtain the more accurate Eigenpairs through the new search strategy by comparison with PSA. In addition, after some algebraic derivations, the complexity of the presented algorithm is also greatly reduced. Experiments with both simulated data and real multi/hyperspectral imagery demonstrate its validity in feature extraction.

  • an adaptive shifted power method for computing generalized tensor Eigenpairs
    SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 2014
    Co-Authors: Tamara G. Kolda, Jackson R. Mayo
    Abstract:

    Several tensor eigenpair definitions have been put forth in the past decade, but these can all be unified under generalized tensor eigenpair framework, introduced by Chang, Pearson, and Zhang [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 350 (2009), pp. 416--422]. Given mth-order, n-dimensional real-valued symmetric tensors ${\mathscr{A}}$ and $\boldsymbol{\mathscr{B}}$, the goal is to find $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^{n}, \mathbf{x} \neq 0$ such that ${\mathscr{A}}\mathbf{x}^{m-1} = \lambda {\mathscr{B}}\mathbf{x}^{m-1}$. Different choices for ${\mathscr{B}}$ yield different versions of the tensor eigenvalue problem. We present our generalized eigenproblem adaptive power (GEAP) method for solving the problem, which is an extension of the shifted symmetric higher-order power method (SS-HOPM) for finding Z-Eigenpairs. A major drawback of SS-HOPM is that its performance depended on choosing an appropriate shift, but our GEAP method also includes an adaptive method for choosing the shift automatically.

Given mth-order, n-dimensional real-valued symmetric tensors A and B, the goal is to find $\lambda \in R$ and $x \in R^n$, $x \neq 0$, such that $Ax^{m-1} = \lambda Bx^{m-1}$.

  • shifted power method for computing tensor Eigenpairs
    SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 2011
    Co-Authors: Tamara G. Kolda, Jackson R. Mayo
    Abstract:

    Recent work on eigenvalues and eigenvectors for tensors of order $m \ge 3$ has been motivated by applications in blind source separation, magnetic resonance imaging, molecular conformation, and more. In this paper, we consider methods for computing real symmetric-tensor Eigenpairs of the form $\boldsymbol{\mathscr{A}}\mathbf{x}^{m-1} = \lambda \mathbf{x}$ subject to $\|\mathbf{x}\|=1$, which is closely related to optimal rank-1 approximation of a symmetric tensor. Our contribution is a shifted symmetric higher-order power method (SS-HOPM), which we show is guaranteed to converge to a tensor eigenpair. SS-HOPM can be viewed as a generalization of the power iteration method for matrices or of the symmetric higher-order power method. Additionally, using fixed point analysis, we can characterize exactly which Eigenpairs can and cannot be found by the method. Numerical examples are presented, including examples from an extension of the method to finding complex Eigenpairs.

In this paper, we consider methods for computing real symmetric-tensor Eigenpairs of the form Ax^{m-1} = \lambda x subject to ||x||=1, which is closely related to optimal rank-1 approximation of a symmetric tensor. Our contribution is a shifted symmetric higher-order power method (SS-HOPM), which we show is guaranteed to converge to a tensor eigenpair.

  • iteration on single vector for extracting two extremal Eigenpairs of symmetric matrices
    Neurocomputing, 2019
    Co-Authors: Ying Tang, Yuan Tang, Siyu Zhan
    Abstract:

    Abstract It has been shown that the first two extremal Eigenpairs of symmetric matrices are involved a lot in spectral clustering, dimensionality reduction, image segmentation, and graph theory. We also know that the eigengap directly affects the stability of principal eigenvector related algorithms, such as the Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search (HITS). To extract two extremal Eigenpairs, conventional methods are generally iterated on two orthogonal vectors, i.e., 2-dimensional subspace. This paper introduces an approach that is iterated on single vector but can simultaneously extract the largest or smallest two Eigenpairs of general symmetric matrices, which reduces the solution scale by half. The complete stability analysis is also presented here. Numerical experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm.
