Installation

Option 1: Install using pip

pip install git+https://github.com/MaksimEkin/pyCP_ALS.git

Option 2: Install from source

git clone https://github.com/MaksimEkin/pyCP_ALS.git

Example Usage

from pyCP_ALS import CP_ALS
import pickle

data = pickle.load(open("data/toy_tensor.p", "rb"))
nnz_values = data["nnz_values"]
nnz_coords = data["nnz_coords"]

model = CP_ALS(
    tol=1e-4, 
    n_iters=50, 
    verbose=True, 
    fixsigns=True, 
    random_state=42,
)

M = model.fit(
    coords=nnz_coords, 
    values=nnz_values, 
    rank=2, 
    Minit="random",
)
