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.
Developing nonlinear models that are both expressive and computationally efficient remains a challenge in machine learning and nonlinear system identification. Tensor network kernel machines (TNKM) address this challenge by combining nonlinear feature representations with compact low-rank tensor-network parameterizatio...
This paper proposes a novel Tensor Train (TT)-based tensor-on-tensor regression optimization framework for variable selection based on mode-1 hyperslice sparsity, and designs an alternating iterative algorithm equipped with a preconditioned metric to efficiently solve the proposed model.
This work presents a method to accelerate the optimization of learning high dimensional functions using deep neural network (DNN), and studies the effect of adding features which distill pretrained DNN into TNs using a discretize and decompose strategy.
This thesis builds on an existing diagnostics toolkit mainly for t-SNE and UMAP and turns it into a more accessible package for interested practitioners, while also extending it with diagnostics tools.

Simulation studies confirm that the federated approach improves estimation and prediction over purely local methods, especially when per-client data are scarce, and an MRI-based ADHD study illustrates its strong performance under real privacy constraints.
