Neural Information Processing Systems 

First provide a summary of the paper, and then address the following criteria: Quality, clarity, originality and significance. The authors present an unnamed algorithm for recovering a degree three tensor from a noisy version, where the noise is due to (a) slice misalignment and (b) sparse noise. The authors present a loss function for the model which they optimize by an ADMM-inspired gradient descent heuristic. The authors compare their method on real and synthetic image data to different implementations of RASL and and an algorithm from [14] which they call Li's work and show that their algorithm has lower recovery error. The paper is clearly written and the idea of performing alignment and denoising on multiple images at once seems to be novel, while the reviewer is not a full expert on tensor methods in image processing and cannot finally settle the question of originality of the application.
