Efficient Structure-preserving Support Tensor Train Machine

Deploying the multi-relational tensor structure of a high dimensional feature space, more efficiently improves the performance of machine learning algorithms. One encounters the \emph{curse of dimensionality}, and working with vectorized data fails to preserve the data structure. To mitigate the nonlinear relationship of tensor data more economically, we propose the \emph{Tensor Train Multi-way Multi-level Kernel (TT-MMK)}. This technique combines kernel filtering of the initial input data (\emph{Kernelized Tensor Train (KTT)}), stable reparametrization of the KTT in the Canonical Polyadic (CP) format, and the Dual Structure-preserving Support Vector Machine (\emph{SVM}) Kernel for revealing nonlinear relationships. We demonstrate numerically that the TT-MMK method is more reliable computationally, is less sensitive to tuning parameters, and gives higher prediction accuracy in the SVM classification compared to similar tensorised SVM methods.
