Tensor train completion: local recovery guarantees via Riemannian optimization

TL;DR
The paper addresses TT completion from limited observations by formulating it as a Riemannian optimization problem on the TT manifold $\mathcal{M}_{\bm{r}}$ and derives local convergence guarantees for RGD under RIP-type conditions. A curvature bound based on the harmonic mean of the TT unfoldings' smallest singular values is established, along with a core-coherence measure $\mu_C$ to quantify TT incoherence. The authors prove that a tangent-space RIP holds with high probability for random samples and derive explicit sample-size bounds for TT recovery and TT completion, including extensions to auxiliary subspace information that reduce the required samples. These results quantify when TT-based methods can reliably recover or complete high-dimensional tensors from sparse observations and provide guidance for sample complexity in large-scale settings.
Abstract
In this work, we estimate the number of randomly selected elements of a tensor that with high probability guarantees local convergence of Riemannian gradient descent for tensor train completion. We derive a new bound for the orthogonal projections onto the tangent spaces based on the harmonic mean of the unfoldings' singular values and introduce a notion of core coherence for tensor trains. We also extend the results to tensor train completion with auxiliary subspace information and obtain the corresponding local convergence guarantees.
