Abstract

We consider supervised learning problems with tensor-valued input. We derive multilinear sufficient reductions for the regression or classification problem by modeling the conditional distribution of the predictors given the response as a member of the quadratic exponential family. We develop estimation procedures of sufficient reductions for both continuous and binary tensor-valued predictors. We prove the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimated sufficient reduction using manifold theory. For multilinear normal predictors, the estimation algorithm is highly computationally efficient and is also applicable to situations where the dimension of the reduction exceeds the sample size. Our method outperforms competing techniques in both simulated settings and real-world datasets involving continuous and binary tensor-valued predictors.
