Notation

This section introduces basic notations and operations that are widely used in the field.


Introduction

A multi-way graph with K perspectives is a collection of K matrices with dimensions I × J (where I, J are the number of nodes). This collection of matrices is naturally represented as a tensor X of size I × J × K. In order to avoid overloading the term “dimension”, we call an I × J × K tensor a three “mode” tensor, where “modes” are the numbers of indices used to index the tensor.
