Multi-way Clustering on Relation Graphs Arindam Banerjee, Department of CSE, University of Minnesota Abstract : A number of real-world domains such as social networks and e-commerce involve heterogeneous data that describes relations between multiple classes of entities. Understanding the natural structure of this type of heterogeneous relational data is essential both for exploratory analysis and for performing various predictive modeling tasks. In this paper, we propose a principled multi-way clustering framework for relational data, wherein different types of entities are simultaneously clustered based not only on their intrinsic attribute values, but also on the multiple relations between the entities. To achieve this, we introduce a relation graph model that describes all the known relations between the different entity classes, in which each relation between a given set of entity classes is represented in the form of multi-modal tensor over an appropriate domain. Our multi-way clustering formulation is driven by the objective of capturing the maximal \information" in the original relation graph, i.e., accurately approximating the set of tensors corresponding to the various relations. This formulation is applicable to all Bregman divergences (a broad family of loss functions that includes squared Euclidean distance, KL-divergence), and also permits analysis of mixed data types using convex combinations of appropriate Bregman loss functions. Furthermore, we present a large family of structurally different multi-way clustering schemes that preserve various linear summary statistics of the original data. We accomplish the above generalizations by extending a recently proposed key theoretical result, namely the minimum Bregman information principle [1], to the relation graph setting. We also describe an ecient multi-way clustering algorithm based on alternate minimization that generalizes a number of other recently proposed clustering methods. Empirical results on datasets obtained from real-world domains (e.g., movie recommendations, newsgroup articles) demonstrate the generality and efficacy of our framework. -------------------------- Latent semantic analysis for multiple-type interrelated data objects --------------------------
Tamara G. Kolda, Sandia National Laboratories Abstract : Linear algebra is a powerful and proven tool in web search. Techniques, such as the PageRank algorithm of Brin and Page and the HITS algorithm of Kleinberg, score web pages based on the principal eigenvector (or singular vector) of a particular non-negative matrix that captures the hyperlink structure of the web graph. We propose and test a new methodology that uses multilinear algebra to elicit more information from a higher-order representation of the hyperlink graph. We start by labeling the edges in our graph with the anchor text of the hyperlinks so that the associated linear algebra representation is a sparse, three-way tensor. The first two dimensions of the tensor represent the web pages while the third dimension adds the anchor text. We then use the rank-1 factors of a multilinear PARAFAC tensor decomposition, which are akin to singular vectors of the SVD, to automatically identify topics in the collection along with the associated authoritative web pages. -------------------------- Jimeng Sun, Carnegie Mellon, University, Abstract: How do we find patterns in author-keyword associations, evolving over time? Or in Data Cubes, with product-branch-customer sales information? Matrix decompositions, like principal component analysis (PCA) and variants, are invaluable tools for mining, dimensionality reduction, feature selection, rule identification in numerous settings like streaming data, text, graphs, social networks and many more. However, they have only two orders, like author and keyword, in the above example.We propose to envision such higher order data as tensors,and tap the vast literature on the topic. However, these methods do not necessarily scale up, let alone operate on semi-infinite streams. Thus, we introduce the dynamic tensor analysis (DTA) method, and its variants. DTA provides a compact summary for high-order and high-dimensional data, and it also reveals the hidden correlations. Algorithmically, we designed DTA very carefully so that it is (a) scalable, (b) space efficient (it does not need to store the past) and (c) fully automatic with no need for user defined parameters. Moreover, we propose STA, a streaming tensor analysis method, which provides a fast, streaming approximation to DTA.We implemented all our methods, and applied them in two real settings, namely, anomaly detection and multi-way latent semantic indexing. We used two real, large datasets, one on network flow data (100GB over 1 month) and one from DBLP (200MB over 25 years). Our experiments show that our methods are fast, accurate and that they find interesting patterns and outliers on the real datasets. -------------------------- CubeSVD: A Novel Approach to Personalized Web Search Jian-Tao Sun, Abstract: As the competition of Web search market increases, there is a high demand for personalized Web search to conduct retrieval incorporating Web users' information needs. This paper focuses on utilizing clickthrough data to improve Web search. Since millions of searches are conducted everyday, a search engine accumulates a large volume of clickthrough data, which records who submits queries and which pages he/she clicks on. The clickthrough data is highly sparse and contains different types of objects (user, query and Web page), and the relationships among these objects are also very complicated. By performing analysis on these data, we attempt to discover Web users' interests and the patterns that users locate information. In this paper, a novel approach CubeSVD is proposed to improve Web search. The clickthrough data is represented by a 3-order tensor, on which we perform 3-mode analysis using the higher-order singular value decomposition technique to automatically capture the latent factors that govern the relations among these multi-type objects: users, queries and Web pages. A tensor reconstructed based on the CubeSVD analysis reflects both the observed interactions among these objects and the implicit associations among them. Therefore, Web search activities can be carried out based on CubeSVD analysis. Experimental evaluations using a real-world data set collected from an MSN search engine show that CubeSVD achieves encouraging search results in comparison with some standard methods. -------------------------- Tensor Space Model for Document Analysis Deng Cai, UIUC Abstract:
Vector Space Model (VSM) has been at the core of information retrieval for the past decades. VSM considers the documents as vectors in high dimensional space.In such a vector space, techniques like Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Naive Bayes, etc., can be then applied for indexing and classification. However, in some cases, the dimensionality of the document space might be extremely large, which makes these techniques infeasible due to the curse of dimensionality. In this paper, we propose a novel Tensor Space Model for document analysis. We represent documents as the second order tensors, or matrices. Correspondingly, a novel indexing algorithm called Tensor Latent Semantic Indexing (TensorLSI) is developed in the tensor space. Our theoretical analysis shows that TensorLSI is much more computationally efficient than the conventional Latent Semantic Indexing, which makes it applicable for extremely large scale data set. Several experimental results on standard document data sets demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our algorithm. -------------------------- A Multilinear Singular Value Decomposition Lieven De Lathauwer We discuss a multilinear generalization of the singular value decomposition. There is a strong analogy between several properties of the matrix and the higher-order tensor decomposition; uniqueness, link with the matrix eigenvalue decomposition, first-order perturbation effects, etc., are analyzed. We investigate how tensor symmetries affect the decomposition and propose a multilinear generalization of the symmetric eigenvalue decomposition for pair-wise symmetric tensors.

Text Representation: From Vector to Tensor Abstract In this paper, we propose a text representation model, Tensor Space Model (TSM), which models the text by multilinear algebraic high-order tensor instead of the traditional vector. Supported by techniques of multilinear algebra, TSM offers a potent mathematical framework for analyzing the multifactor structures. TSM is further supported by certain introduced particular operations and presented tools, such as the High-Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD) for dimension reduction and other applications. Experimental results on the 20 Newsgroups dataset show that TSM is constantly better than VSM for text classification. --------------------------

Tensor based text representation: a new dimension in IR (poster) -------------------------- Cross-Language Information Retrieval Using PARAFAC2 SANDIA REPORT, 2007 Abstract:
A standard approach to cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) uses Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) in conjunction with a multilingual parallel aligned corpus. This approach has been shown to be successful in identifying similar documents across languages - or more precisely, retrieving the most similar document in one language to a query in another language. However, the approach has severe drawbacks when applied to a related task, that of clustering documents ‘language-independently’, so that documents about similar topics end up closest to one another in the semantic space regardless of their language. The problem is that documents are generally more similar to other documents in the same language than they are to documents in a different language, but on the same topic. As a result, when using multilingual LSA, documents will in practice cluster by language, not by topic. We propose a novel application of PARAFAC2 (which is a variant of PARAFAC, a multi-way generalization of the singular value decomposition [SVD]) to overcome this problem. Instead of forming a single multilingual term-by-document matrix which, under LSA, is subjected to SVD, we form an irregular three-way array, each slice of which is a separate term-by-document matrix for a single language in the parallel corpus. The goal is to compute an SVD for each language such that V (the matrix of right singular vectors) is the same across all languages. Effectively, PARAFAC2 imposes the constraint, not present in standard LSA, that the ‘concepts’ in all documents in the parallel corpus are the same regardless of language. Intuitively, this constraint makes sense, since the whole purpose of using a parallel corpus is that exactly the same concepts are expressed in the translations. We tested this approach by comparing the performance of PARAFAC2 with standard LSA in solving a particular CLIR problem. From our results, we conclude that PARAFAC2 offers a very promising alternative to LSA not only for multilingual document clustering, but also for solving other problems in cross-language information retrieval. -------------------------- Non-negative tensor factorization with applications to statistics and computer vision Amnon Shashua International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML'05) pp. 792-799 Abstract:
We derive algorithms for finding a non-negative n-dimensional tensor factorization (n-NTF) which includes the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) as a particular case when n = 2. We motivate the use of n-NTF in three areas of data analysis: (i) connection to latent class models in statistics, (ii) sparse image coding in computer vision, and (iii) model selection problems. We derive a "direct" positive-preserving gradient descent algorithm and an alternating scheme based on repeated multiple rank-1 problems. The Tucker3 model in Chemometrics |
