Tensor decomposition-based unsupervised feature extraction applied to matrix products for multi-view data processing
by Y-h. Taguchi
In the current era of big data, the amount of data available is continuously increasing. Both the number and types of samples, or features, are on the rise. The mixing of distinct features often makes interpretation more difficult. However, separate analysis of individual types requires subsequent integration. A tensor is a useful framework to deal with distinct types of features in an integrated manner without mixing them. On the other hand, tensor data is not easy to obtain since it requires the measurements of huge numbers of combinations of distinct features; if there are m kinds of features, each of which has N dimensions, the number of measurements needed are as many as Nm, which is often too large to measure. In this paper, I propose a new method where a tensor is generated from individual features without combinatorial measurements, and the generated tensor was decomposed back to matrices, by which unsupervised feature extraction was performed. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed strategy, it was applied to synthetic data, as well as three omics datasets. It outperformed other matrix-based methodologies.Publisher URL: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article
