Reshaped tensor nuclear norms for higher order tensor completion

Abstract

We investigate optimal conditions for inducing low-rankness of higher order tensors by using convex tensor norms with reshaped tensors. We propose the reshaped tensor nuclear norm as a generalized approach to reshape tensors to be regularized by using the tensor nuclear norm. Furthermore, we propose the reshaped latent tensor nuclear norm to combine multiple reshaped tensors using the tensor nuclear norm. We analyze the generalization bounds for tensor completion models regularized by the proposed norms and show that the novel reshaping norms lead to lower Rademacher complexities. Through simulation and real-data experiments, we show that our proposed methods are favorably compared to existing tensor norms consolidating our theoretical claims.
