TTDFT: A GPU accelerated Tucker tensor DFT code for large-scale Kohn-Sham DFT calculations

We present the Tucker tensor DFT (TTDFT) code which uses a tensor-structured algorithm with graphic processing unit (GPU) acceleration for conducting ground-state DFT calculations on large-scale systems. The Tucker tensor DFT algorithm uses a localized Tucker tensor basis computed from an additive separable approximation to the Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian. The discrete Kohn-Sham problem is solved using Chebyshev filtered subspace iteration method that relies on matrix-matrix multiplications of a sparse symmetric Hamiltonian matrix and a dense wavefunction matrix, expressed in the localized Tucker tensor basis. These matrix-matrix multiplication operations, which constitute the most computationally intensive step of the solution procedure, are GPU accelerated providing ~8-fold GPU-CPU speedup for these operations on the largest systems studied. In conclusion, the computational performance of the TTDFT code is presented using benchmark studies on aluminum nano-particles and silicon quantum dots with system sizes ranging up to ~7,000 atoms.

Parallel Randomized Tucker Decomposition Algorithms

The Tucker tensor decomposition is a natural extension of the singular value decomposition (SVD) to multiway data. Here, we propose to accelerate Tucker tensor decomposition algorithms by using randomization and parallelization. We present two algorithms that scale to large data and many processors, significantly reduce both computation and communication cost compared to previous deterministic and randomized approaches, and obtain nearly the same approximation errors. The key idea in our algorithms is to perform randomized sketches with Kronecker-structured random matrices, which reduces computation compared to unstructured matrices and can be implemented using a fundamental tensor computational kernel. We provide probabilistic error analysis of our algorithms and implement a new parallel algorithm for the structured randomized sketch. Our experimental results demonstrate that our combination of randomization and parallelization achieves accurate Tucker decompositions much faster than alternative approaches. We observe up to a 16X speedup over the fastest deterministic parallel implementation on 3D simulation data.

SymProp: Scaling Sparse Symmetric Tucker Decomposition via Symmetry Propagation

Sparse symmetric tensors are an important class of tensors, and their decompositions serve as powerful tools for revealing low-rank structures. This paper introduces SymProp, a novel approach for scaling sparse symmetric Tucker decomposition by propagating symmetry through intermediate computations. SymProp optimizes two key computational kernels: Sparse Symmetric Tensor Times Same Matrix chain (S3 TTMc) for Higher-Order Orthogonal Iteration (HOOI) and Sparse Symmetric Tensor Times Same Matrix chain Times Core (S3 TTMcTC) for Higher-Order QR Iteration (HOQRI). Our method employs a metaprogramming-based index iteration approach to efficiently handle the upper triangular parts of intermediate dense symmetric tensors. SymProp achieves up to 50.9× speedup over SPLATT and up to 360.8× over Compressed Sparse Symmetric (CSS) format on the S3 TTMc operation. Moreover, our S3 TTMc and S3 TTMcTC implementations support tensor orders four levels higher than state-of-the-art methods. Our HOQRI demonstrates superior scalability and up to a 33.6× speedup over optimized HOOI. By enabling more scalable Tucker decompositions for higher orders, decomposition ranks, and dimension sizes, SymProp opens new possibilities for analyzing complex hypergraph structures in fields such as network science, data mining, and machine learning.

QuadSync: Quadrifocal tensor synchronization via Tucker decomposition

In structure from motion, quadrifocal tensors capture more information than their pairwise counterparts (essential matrices), yet they have often been thought of as impractical and only of theoretical interest. In this work, we challenge such beliefs by providing a new framework to recover n cameras from the corresponding collection of quadrifocal tensors. We form the block quadrifocal tensor and show that it admits a Tucker decomposition whose factor matrices are the stacked camera matrices, and which thus has a multilinear rank of (4,4,4,4) independent of n. We develop the first synchronization algorithm for quadrifocal tensors, using Tucker decomposition, alternating direction method of multipliers, and iteratively reweighted least squares. We further establish relationships between the block quadrifocal, trifocal, and bifocal tensors, and introduce an algorithm that jointly synchronizes these three entities. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods on modern datasets, indicating the potential and importance of using higher-order information in synchronization.

Personalized Tucker Decomposition: Modeling Commonality and Peculiarity on Tensor Data

In this paper, we propose a personalized Tucker decomposition (perTucker) to address the limitations of traditional tensor decomposition methods in capturing heterogeneity across different datasets. perTucker decomposes tensor data into shared global components and personalized local components. We introduce an order orthogonality assumption and develop a proximal gradient regularized block coordinate descent algorithm guaranteed to converge to a stationary point. The unique and common representations learned by perTucker reveal intrinsic statistical patterns in data and provide valuable information for a wide range of downstream analytics, including anomaly detection, source classification, and clustering. We demonstrate perTucker’s effectiveness through a simulation study and two case studies on solar flare detection and tonnage signal classification.

Geometry-aware training of factorized layers in tensor Tucker format

Reducing parameter redundancies in neural network architectures is crucial for achieving feasible computational and memory requirements during train and inference of large networks. Given its easy implementation and flexibility, one promising approach is layer factorization, which reshapes weight tensors into a matrix format and parameterizes it as the product of two rank-r matrices. However, this family of approaches often requires an initial full-model warm-up phase, prior knowledge of a feasible rank, and it is sensitive to parameter initialization.In this work, we introduce a novel approach to train the factors of a Tucker decomposition of the weight tensors. Our training proposal proves to be optimal in locally approximating the original unfactorized dynamics and stable for the initialization. Furthermore, the rank of each mode is dynamically updated during training.We provide a theoretical analysis of the algorithm, showing convergence, approximation and local descent guarantees. The method's performance is further illustrated through a variety of experiments, showing remarkable training compression rates and comparable or even better performance than the full baseline and alternative layer factorization strategies.

Sparse Symmetric Format for Tucker Decomposition

Tensor-based methods are receiving renewed attention in recent years due to their prevalence in diverse real-world applications. There is considerable literature on tensor representations and algorithms for tensor decompositions, both for dense and sparse tensors. Many applications in hypergraph analytics, machine learning, psychometry, and signal processing result in tensors that are both sparse and symmetric, making them an important class for further study. Similar to the critical Tensor Times Matrix chain operation (TTM c ) in general sparse tensors, the $\underline{S}$ parse $\underline{S}$ ymmetric $\underline{T}$ ensor $\underline{T}$ imes $\underline{S}$ ame $\underline{M}$ atrix $\underline{c}$ hain (S 3 TTM c ) operation is compute and memory intensive due to high tensor order and the associated factorial explosion in the number of non-zeros. We present the novel Compressed Sparse Symmetric (CSS) format for sparse symmetric tensors, along with an efficient parallel algorithm for the S 3 TTM c operation. We theoretically establish that S 3 TTM c on CSS achieves a better memory versus run-time trade-off compared to state-of-the-art implementations, and visualize the variation of the performance gap over the parameter space. We demonstrate experimental findings that confirm these results and achieve up to 2.72× speedup on synthetic and real datasets. The scaling of the algorithm on different test architectures is also showcased to highlight the effect of machine characteristics on algorithm performance.

Nonnegative canonical tensor decomposition with linear constraints: nnCANDELINC

Abstract There is an emerging interest for tensor factorization applications in big‐data analytics and machine learning. To speed up the factorization of extra‐large datasets, organized in multidimensional arrays (also known as tensors), easy to compute compression‐based tensor representations, such as, Tucker and tensor train formats, are used to approximate the initial large‐tensor. Further, tensor factorization is used to extract latent features that can facilitate discoveries of new mechanisms and signatures hidden in the data, where the explainability of the latent features is of principal importance. Nonnegative tensor factorization extracts latent features that are naturally sparse and parts of the data, which makes them easily interpretable. However, to take into account available domain knowledge and subject matter expertise, often additional constraints need to be imposed, which lead us to canonical decomposition with linear constraints (CANDELINC), a canonical polyadic decomposition with rank deficient factors. In CANDELINC, Tucker compression is used as a preprocessing step, which lead to a larger residual error but to more explainable latent features. Here, we propose a nonnegative CANDELINC (nnCANDELINC) accomplished via a specific nonnegative Tucker decomposition; we refer to as minimal or canonical nonnegative Tucker. We derive several results required to understand the specificity of nnCANDELINC, focusing on the difficulties of preserving the nonnegative rank of a tensor to its Tucker core and comparing the real valued to nonnegative case. Finally, we demonstrate nnCANDELINC performance on synthetic and real‐world examples.

Quantum annealing algorithms for Boolean tensor networks

Abstract Quantum annealers manufactured by D-Wave Systems, Inc., are computational devices capable of finding high-quality heuristic solutions of NP-hard problems. In this contribution, we explore the potential and effectiveness of such quantum annealers for computing Boolean tensor networks. Tensors offer a natural way to model high-dimensional data commonplace in many scientific fields, and representing a binary tensor as a Boolean tensor network is the task of expressing a tensor containing categorical (i.e., $$\{0, 1\}$$ { 0 , 1 } ) values as a product of low dimensional binary tensors. A Boolean tensor network is computed by Boolean tensor decomposition, and it is usually not exact. The aim of such decomposition is to minimize the given distance measure between the high-dimensional input tensor and the product of lower-dimensional (usually three-dimensional) tensors and matrices representing the tensor network. In this paper, we introduce and analyze three general algorithms for Boolean tensor networks: Tucker, Tensor Train, and Hierarchical Tucker networks. The computation of a Boolean tensor network is reduced to a sequence of Boolean matrix factorizations, which we show can be expressed as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problem suitable for solving on a quantum annealer. By using a novel method we introduce called parallel quantum annealing, we demonstrate that Boolean tensor’s with up to millions of elements can be decomposed efficiently using a DWave 2000Q quantum annealer.

QBTNs - Quantum Boolean Tensor Networks

We develop algorithms and software that uses the D-Wave 2000Q quantum annealer to solve several types of Boolean tensor factorization problems. Boolean tensor factorization refers to the problem of representing a high-dimensional tensor filled with Boolean values as a product of smaller Boolean core tensors and Boolean matrices. We consider different tensor factorization models, including Boolean Tensor Train, Boolean Tucker, and Boolean Hierarchical Tucker. As an exact decomposition of a given type may not exist in the general case, the objective is to minimize the difference between the input high-dimensional tensor and the product of the lower-dimensional tensors of the proposed factorization, using a specified tensor norm. In our approach, we reduce the Boolean tensor factorization problem to a sequence of quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems suitable for the D-Wave 2000Q quantum annealer. Although current quantum technology is still fairly restricted in the problems it can tackle, we show that complex tensor factorization problems as the ones addressed by us can be solved efficiently and accurately.
