Patent number: 10545919Abstract: Original data that represents a real-world object or activity and organized along three or more dimensions is received. The original data is represented as a product of several multipliers including a sparse core, such that the sparse core has fewer non-zero values than a tensor representation of the original data, and one or more unitary matrix multipliers. Modified data is generated based on the original data using the multipliers. This includes compressing, or reconstructing missing elements in, the tensor representation of the original data, such that the modified data provides a description of the real-world object or activity that is less complete or more complete, respectively, relative to the original data.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Shuchang Zhou, Liyong Chen
