Robust low-rank tensor completion via factorized weighted tensor schatten-p norm minimization

RESUMO

Low-rank tensor factorization provides a flexible framework for completing multidimensional data from incomplete and corrupted observations. However, unweighted spectral regularizers impose a common shrinkage profile across singular components, which may excessively attenuate dominant low-rank components, and factorized variants either lack component-specific weighting or require costly singular value decompositions (SVDs). This paper proposes two weighted Schatten-$p$ tensor factorization models, termed \WSpTFI{} and \WSpTFII{}, under the tensor-tensor product (t-product) framework to address these limitations. \WSpTFI{} is motivated by a factorized weighted tensor Schatten-$p$ norm identity and permits flexible, possibly asymmetric factor exponents. \WSpTFII{} constructs a regularizer from transform-domain column-pair energies, yielding SVD-free main factor updates and a column-pruning mechanism for reducing redundant rank components. This paper further develops an iteratively reweighted alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)-type scheme for \WSpTFI{} and an iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS)--block successive upper-bound minimization (BSUM) scheme for \WSpTFII{}. Theoretical analysis establishes the weighted factorization relation and provides a conditional limiting Karush--Kuhn--Tucker (KKT) characterization for \WSpTFI{}. For \WSpTFII{}, the actual damped quadratic block updates yield a quantitative sufficient-decrease mechanism for the fixed-$\delta$ smoothed factor objective. This implies asymptotic regularity, and every accumulation point of the fixed-dimensional tail is stationary. Experiments on synthetic tensor completion, color-image restoration, hyperspectral inpainting, and printed-circuit-board defect detection demonstrate competitive reconstruction quality and robustness under various degradation conditions.
