Wedge Sampling: Efficient Tensor Completion with Nearly-Linear Sample Complexity
- 设计结构化采样模式‘楔形’,增强初始化信号。
- 实现弱恢复与精确恢复,样本复杂度接近线性于n。
- 适用于需要高效初始化的张量补全任务。
我们提出Wedge Sampling,一种用于低秩张量补全的新非自适应采样方案。研究从结构化观测中恢复一个k阶、n×⋯×n维的低秩张量。不同于标准均匀采样(即从[n]^k中独立同分布采样),楔形采样在关联的二分采样图中将观测分配到长度为二的结构化模式(楔形)。通过直接促进这些二元连接,采样设计强化了支撑高效初始化的谱信号,在均匀采样过于稀疏、难以生成足够信息相关性的场景下尤为有效。主要结果表明,这种采样范式转变使得多项式时间算法能在近线性于n的样本复杂度下实现弱恢复和精确恢复。该方法可直接集成:基于楔形采样的谱初始化可与现有精修流程(如谱法或梯度法)结合,仅需额外约O~(n)个均匀采样条目,显著优于均匀采样下通常所需的O~(n^{k/2})样本复杂度。我们还提出了噪声扩展模型,针对加性高斯观测分析了谱法和梯度下降法在合适信噪比条件下的表现。因此,张量补全的计算瓶颈取决于观测模型:在均匀采样下仍存在,但可通过非自适应的结构化设计突破,提供更强的初始化。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We introduce Wedge Sampling, a new non-adaptive sampling scheme for low-rank tensor completion. We study recovery of an order-$k$ low-rank tensor of dimension $n\times\cdots\times n$ from structured observations of its entries. Unlike the standard uniform entry model (i.e., i.i.d. samples from $[n]^k$), wedge sampling allocates observations to structured length-two patterns (wedges) in an associated bipartite sampling graph. By directly promoting these length-two connections, the sampling design strengthens the spectral signal that underlies efficient initialization, in regimes where uniform sampling is too sparse to generate enough informative correlations. Our main result shows that this change in sampling paradigm enables polynomial-time algorithms to achieve both weak and exact recovery with nearly linear sample complexity in $n$. The approach is also plug-and-play: wedge-sampling-based spectral initialization can be combined with existing refinement procedures (e.g., spectral or gradient-based methods) using only an additional $\tilde O(n)$ uniformly sampled entries, substantially improving over the $\tilde O(n^{k/2})$ sample complexity typically required under uniform entry sampling for efficient methods. We also formulate a noisy wedge-sampling extension for additive Gaussian observations and analyze both the spectral and gradient-descent procedures under suitable signal-to-noise conditions. Thus, the computational barrier in tensor completion is sensitive to the observation model: while it persists under uniform entry sampling, it can be bypassed by non-adaptive structured designs that provide a stronger initialization.
