Interplay Between Classical Tensor Methods And Foundation Models

Abstract

Tensor methods have played a central role in analyzing multi-dimensional data across a wide range of real-world applications. At the same time, these methods provide low-rank representations, which enable trustworthy and parsimonious machine learning systems. However, even though they hold great promise, tensor methods remain relatively underexplored in the context of modern neural architectures and foundation models. This workshop aims to provide a forum for advancing tensor methods and applying them to various applications at the intersection of data mining and modern machine learning. Supported by organizers and keynote speakers with broad expertise across machine learning, signal processing, and data mining, the workshop aims to foster an interactive environment for researchers to exchange ideas and build connections across communities.
