SPARSE TENSORS DECOMPOSITION SOFTWARE

The purpose of this project was to build a software package that could be used as an alternative to the MATLAB Tensor Toolbox for high-order sparse tensor parallel factor analysis. The software package will also be used as a tool to incorporate nonnegative tensor factorization into a text visualization environment called FutureLens. The project was written in Python, an interpreted, object-oriented language. To test the software and evaluate its performance, the IEEE VAST 2007 contest dataset was used along with the Python profiler.
