Recent Advances in Tensor Decomposition

A tensor is a multi-way array of numbers. An order-1 tensor is just a vector $u \in \mathbb{R}^n$. An order-2 tensor is a matrix $M \in \mathbb{R}^{n_1 \times n_2}$. An order-3 tensor is a 3-way array $T \in \mathbb{R}^{n_1 \times n_2 \times n_3}$, and so on.
