FMM-Net: neural network architecture based on the Fast Multipole Method

In this paper, we propose a new neural network architecture based on the H2 matrix. Even though networks with H2-inspired architecture already exist, and our approach is designed to reduce memory costs and improve performance by taking into account the sparsity template of the H2 matrix. In numerical comparison with alternative neural networks, including the known H2-based ones, our architecture showed itself as beneficial in terms of performance, memory, and scalability.

Modelling hidden structure of signals in group data analysis with modified (Lr, 1) and block-term decompositions

This work is devoted to elaboration on the idea to use block term decomposition for group data analysis and to raise the possibility of modelling group activity with (Lr, 1) and Tucker blocks. A new generalization of block tensor decomposition was considered in application to group data analysis. Suggested approach was evaluated on multilabel classification task for a set of images. This contribution also reports results of investigation on clustering with proposed tensor models in comparison with known matrix models, namely common orthogonal basis extraction and group independent component analysis.

Comparative study of Discrete Wavelet Transforms and Wavelet Tensor Train decomposition to feature extraction of FTIR data of medicinal plants

Fourier-transform infra-red (FTIR) spectra of samples from 7 plant species were used to explore the influence of preprocessing and feature extraction on efficiency of machine learning algorithms. Wavelet Tensor Train (WTT) and Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWT) were compared as feature extraction techniques for FTIR data of medicinal plants. Various combinations of signal processing steps showed different behavior when applied to classification and clustering tasks. Best results for WTT and DWT found through grid search were similar, significantly improving quality of clustering as well as classification accuracy for tuned logistic regression in comparison to original spectra. Unlike DWT, WTT has only one parameter to be tuned (rank), making it a more versatile and easier to use as a data processing tool in various signal processing applications.
