Functional factorization for matrices and tensors

FunFact: Build Your Own Tensor Decomposition Model in a Breeze

FunFact is a Python package that aims to simplify the design of matrix and tensor factorization algorithms. It features a powerful programming interface that augments the NumPy API with Einstein notations for writing concise tensor expressions. Given an arbitrary forward calculation scheme, the package will solve the corresponding inverse problem using stochastic gradient descent, automatic differentiation, and multi-replica vectorization. Its application areas include quantum circuit synthesis, tensor decomposition, and neural network compression. It is GPU- and parallelization-ready thanks to modern numerical linear algebra backends such as JAX/TensorFlow and PyTorch.

Quick start example: semi-nonnegative CP decomposition

Install from pip:

pip install -U funfact

Package import:

import funfact as ff
import numpy as np

Create target tensor:

T = np.arange(60, dtype=np.float32).reshape(3, 4, 5); T

Define abstract tensors and indices:

R = 2
a = ff.tensor('a', T.shape[0], R, prefer=ff.conditions.NonNegative())
b = ff.tensor('b', T.shape[1], R)
c = ff.tensor('c', T.shape[2], R)
i, j, k, r = ff.indices('i, j, k, r')

Create a tensor expression (only specifies the algebra but does not carry out the computation immediately):

tsrex = (a[i, ~r] * b[j, r]) * c[k, r]; tsrex

Find rank-2 approximation:

>>> fac = ff.factorize(tsrex, T, max_steps=1000, nvec=8, penalty_weight=10)
>>> fac.factors
100%|██████████| 1000/1000 [00:03<00:00, 304.00it/s]
<'data' fields of tensors a, b, c>

Reconstruction:
