Latent Factorization

Latent factorization techniques aim to decompose complex datasets, often represented as tensors, into lower-dimensional latent factors that capture underlying patterns and relationships. Current research emphasizes improving the efficiency and accuracy of these methods, particularly for high-dimensional and incomplete data, focusing on advancements in algorithms like tensor ring decomposition and incorporating techniques such as momentum-based optimization and ADMM to enhance convergence and robustness. These improvements are driving applications in diverse fields, including dynamic network analysis, quality-of-service prediction, and image manipulation, where accurate and efficient latent factor extraction is crucial for effective modeling and prediction.
