Developing nonlinear models that are both expressive and computationally efficient remains a challenge in machine learning and nonlinear system identification. Tensor network kernel machines (TNKM) address this challenge by combining nonlinear feature representations with compact low-rank tensor-network parameterizations. However, practical and extensible software frameworks for developing TNKM models remain limited. In this work, we introduce"tnkm", an open-source Python library for constructing and training TNKM models using JAX. The library provides a unified interface for combining different feature maps, tensor-network architectures, and optimization strategies, including alternating least squares and gradient-based methods. We demonstrate the capabilities of"tnkm"on nonlinear benchmark problems, showing that the implemented models achieve competitive prediction accuracy while retaining compact parameterizations and efficient training. The proposed framework facilitates reproducible development and application of tensor-network-based learning methods.
Tensor networks are powerful formats for compressing large-scale data. However, their application to general data processing has been limited by the difficulty of performing nonlinear operations. Here, we introduce iterative tensor network transformations (ITNTs), a general algorithmic framework for the element-wise evaluation of elementary and nonlinear filtering functions on data encoded as tensor trains (TTs), a class of tensor networks. Our approach operates entirely in the compressed domain, enabling efficient computation on exponentially large datasets while maintaining a controlled computational cost. We demonstrate its power in two key areas: (I) evaluating highly nonlinear elementary and filtering functions on a 3D reactive flow field, enabling high-fidelity reaction rate computation and region filtering, and (II) finding extrema in complex optimization problems, such as solving Max-SAT instances on spaces up to $2^{70}$ configurations. These results establish ITNT as a foundational tool that provides tensor network methods with the capability for general-purpose data science and large-scale optimization.

This work presents a method to accelerate the optimization of learning high dimensional functions using deep neural network (DNN), and studies the effect of adding features which distill pretrained DNN into TNs using a discretize and decompose strategy.
This work introduces a general kernel-based encoder-decoder framework for operator learning that separates observation, representation, learning, and reconstruction, and develops this framework for multi-input, multi-output operator learning, where operators map between products of potentially distinct function spaces.

Traditional model reduction techniques for neural network compression usually leverage existing matrix/tensor decomposition methods to explore the redundancy among model parameters, which may overlook the local structures of the models. In this work, we propose a novel low-rank approximation algorithm, called Dimension-Augmented Tensor-Train (DATT) decomposition, which integrates dimension slicing with the Tensor-Train decomposition. DATT allows different partitions to be represented using distinct, non-shared spanning sets. This enables the decomposition to adapt more flexibly to localized structure, potentially achieving better compression. With the localized low-rank structures, DATT provides a more compact representation of neural network weights. We evaluated the performance of DATT with the other state-of-the-art low-rank approximation-based model compression algorithms, and demonstrated that DATT outperforms them in terms of parameter reduction and model accuracy. In particular, for compressing ResNet-20 on CIFAR-10, DATT achieves a 77.00% reduction in parameters with only a 0.37% drop in top-1 accuracy.
