🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the challenge of disentangling shared and private components in multi-view tensors by proposing Tucker Personalized Subspace Principal Component Analysis (TPS-PCA). Grounded in tensor decomposition theory, the method achieves efficient signal separation through closed-form solutions. Notably, this work establishes the first view-wise minimax lower bounds for decoupling, overcoming the theoretical limitations inherent in conventional average error rate analyses. Extensive experiments across diverse domains, including power systems and finance, demonstrate that TPS-PCA consistently delivers superior performance and broad applicability. By offering rigorous theoretical guarantees alongside practical utility, this approach introduces a new paradigm for multi-view tensor analysis.
📝 Abstract
In this work, we model the observed multi-view tensors by decomposing the underlying signal in each view into two components: (i) the shared component that captures common dynamics across all views, and (ii) the private component that accounts for view-wise unique variations. To decouple the shared and private components, we introduce a novel Tucker personalized subspace principal component analysis (TPS-PCA) approach for tensors, which admits a one-step closed-form solution and serves as an ideal surrogate for our extended tensor-version personalized PCA (TP-PCA), adapted from the seminal work by \cite{shi2024personalized}. The theoretical analysis reveals that the proposed TPS-PCA estimators reach the minimax lower bound in terms of view-wise tensor decoupling, whereas the TP-PCA estimators only achieve a rate of average decoupling error across views, which is still slower than that of the TPS-PCA estimators. Extensive numerical experiments are conducted on synthetic and real datasets, demonstrating the wide applicability of the proposed method in fields including power management, financial analysis, and activity recognition.
