A valuable feature of the tubal tensor framework is that many familiar constructions from matrix algebra carry over to tensors, including SVD and notions of rank. Importantly, it has been shown that for a specific family of tubal products, an Eckart-Young type theorem holds, i.e., the best low-rank approximation of a tensor under the Frobenius norm is obtained by truncating its tubal SVD. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of the family of tubal products that yield an Eckart-Young type result. We demonstrate the practical implications of our theoretical findings by conducting experiments with video data and data-driven dynamical systems.

Precision medicine is a clinical approach for disease prevention, detection and treatment, which considers each individual's genetic background, environment and lifestyle. The development of this tailored avenue has been driven by the increased availability of omics methods, large cohorts of temporal samples, and their integration with clinical data. Despite the immense progression, existing computational methods for data analysis fail to provide appropriate solutions for this complex, high-dimensional and longitudinal data. In this work we have developed a new method termed TCAM, a dimensionality reduction technique for multi-way data, that overcomes major limitations when doing trajectory analysis of longitudinal omics data. Using real-world data, we show that TCAM outperforms traditional methods, as well as state-of-the-art tensor-based approaches for longitudinal microbiome data analysis. Moreover, we demonstrate the versatility of TCAM by applying it to several different omics datasets, and the applicability of it as a drop-in replacement within straightforward ML tasks.
