• Abstract: We study the distribution and uncertainty of nonconvex optimization for noisy tensor completion -- the problem of estimating a low-rank tensor given incomplete and corrupted observations of its entries. Focusing on a two-stage estimation algorithm proposed by Cai et al. (2019), we characterize the distribution of this nonconvex estimator down to fine scales. This distributional theory in turn allows one to construct valid and short confidence intervals for both the unseen tensor entries and the unknown tensor factors. The proposed inferential procedure enjoys several important features: (1) it is fully adaptive to noise heteroscedasticity, and (2) it is data-driven and automatically adapts to unknown noise distributions. Furthermore, our findings unveil the statistical optimality of nonconvex tensor completion: it attains un-improvable $\ell_{2}$ accuracy -- including both the rates and the pre-constants -- when estimating both the unknown tensor and the underlying tensor factors.

  Few-shot knowledge graph completion (FKGC) aims to query the unseen facts of a relation given its few-shot reference entity pairs. Existing FKGC works neglect such uncertainty, which leads them more susceptible to limited reference samples with noises. We propose a novel uncertainty-aware few-shot KG completion framework (UFKGC) to model uncertainty for a better understanding of the limited data.

  We consider clipped optimization problems with heavy-tailed noise with structured density. We show that it is possible to get faster rates of convergence than $mathcalO(K-(alpha - 1)/alpha)$, when the gradients have finite moments of order. We prove that the resulting estimates have negligible bias and controllable variance.

  It is widely assumed that the optimal noise distribution should be made equal to the data distribution, as in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) We turn to Noise-Contrastive Estimation which grounds this self-supervised task as an estimation problem of an energy-based model of the data. We soberly conclude that the optimal noise may be hard to sample from, and the gain in efficiency can be modest compared to choosing the noise distribution equal to the data's.

• Noisy Tensor Completion via Low-rank Tensor Ring [41.86521269183527]
  tensor completion is a fundamental tool for incomplete data analysis, where the goal is to predict missing entries from partial observations. Existing methods often make the explicit or implicit assumption that the observed entries are noise-free to provide a theoretical guarantee of exact recovery of missing entries. This paper proposes a novel noisy tensor completion model, which complements the incompetence of existing works in handling the degeneration of high-order and noisy observations.
