- Abstract
- Higher-order tensors have gained popularity in many fields of the applied mathematics such as machine learning and signal processing. But to use the full potential of the powerful tools that are the tensors, we must develop decompositions that allow us to learn information about these tensors. It is why the block term decomposition has been created. The objective of this thesis, is to implement an algorithm that will compute the best approximation of a third-order tensor by a block term decomposition in the least-square sense. Using different alternating least-square approaches, we compare the results obtained from the methods implemented in this thesis to state of the arts algorithms.
