Multi‐view side information‐incorporated tensor completion

Abstract

Tensor completion originates in numerous applications where data utilized are of high dimensions and gathered from multiple sources or views. Existing methods merely incorporate the structure information, ignoring the fact that ubiquitous side information may be beneficial to estimate the missing entries from a partially observed tensor. Inspired by this, we formulate a sparse and low‐rank tensor completion model named SLRMV. The ‐norm instead of its relaxation is used in the objective function to constrain the sparseness of noise. The CP decomposition is used to decompose the high‐quality tensor, based on which the combination of Schatten ‐norm on each latent factor matrix is employed to characterize the low‐rank tensor structure with high computation efficiency. Diverse similarity matrices for the same factor matrix are regarded as multi‐view side information for guiding the tensor completion task. Although SLRMV is a nonconvex and discontinuous problem, the optimality analysis in terms of Karush‐Kuhn‐Tucker (KKT) conditions is accordingly proposed, based on which a hard‐thresholding based alternating direction method of multipliers (HT‐ADMM) is designed. Extensive experiments remarkably demonstrate the efficiency of SLRMV in tensor completion.
