An RMSprop-Incorporated Latent Factorization of Tensor Model for Random Missing Data Imputation in Structural Health Monitoring by Jingjing Yang

“…However, SGD-based LFT models and other imputation methods exhibit significant sensitivity to learning rates and slow tail-end convergence. To address these limitations, this study proposes an RMSprop-incorporated latent factorization of tensor (RLFT) model, which integrates an adaptive learning rate mechanism to dynamically adjust step sizes based on gradient magnitudes. …”
