Description
Tensor train decompositions are approximations that exploit low rank structure in an input-output mapping. The form of the approximation can be written as a set of matrix valued products:
where the “cores” expand to
An example expansion over four random variables with rank vector (1,7,5,3,1) is
In the current implementation, orthogonal polynomial basis functions (Hermite and Legendre) are employed as the basis functions \(f_i^{jk}(x_i)\) , although the C3 library will enable additional options in the future.
The number of coefficients that must be computed by the regression solver can be inferred from the construction above. For each QoI, the regression size can be determined as follows:
For a v variables, orders a o is a v-vector and ranks a r is a v+1-vector
the first core is a \(1 \times r_1\) row vector and contributes \((o_0 + 1) r_1\) terms
the last core is a \(r_{v-1} \times 1\) col vector and contributes \((o_{v-1}+1) r_{v-1}\) terms
the middle v-2 cores are \(r_i \times r_{i+1}\) matrices that contribute \(r_i r_{i+1} (o_i + 1)\) terms, \(i = 1, ..., v-2\)
neighboring vec/mat dimensions must match, so there are v-1 unique ranks
Usage Tips
This new capability is stabilizing and beginning to be embedded in higher-level strategies such as multilevel-multifidelity algorithms. It is not included in the Dakota build by default, as some C3 library dependencies (CBLAS) can induce small differences in our regression suite.
This capability is also being used as a prototype to explore
model-based versus method-based specification of stochastic
expansions. While the model specification is stand-alone, it
currently requires a corresponding method specification to exercise
the model, which can be a generic UQ strategy such as
surrogate_based_uq
method or a sampling
method. The intent is to
migrate function train, polynomial chaos, and stochastic collocation
toward model-only specifications that can then be employed in any
surrogate/emulator context.
