Learning Tensors in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces with Multilinear Spectral Penalties

We present a general framework to learn functions in tensor product reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (TP-RKHSs). The methodology is based on a novel representer theorem suitable for existing as well as new spectral penalties for tensors. When the functions in the TP-RKHS are defined on the Cartesian product of finite discrete sets, in particular, our main problem formulation admits as a special case existing tensor completion problems. Other special cases include transfer learning with multimodal side information and multilinear multitask learning. For the latter case, our kernel-based view is instrumental to derive nonlinear extensions of existing model classes. We give a novel algorithm and show in experiments the usefulness of the proposed extensions.
