Datasets similarity via Tensorization

In this work we implement algorithms based on the preprint "Determining whether two datasets cluster similarly without determining the clusters" by Van Eeghem et al. [1].

This work was an initial part of a research project by Maxence Giraud on "higher order clustering" supervized by Remy Boyer.

Usage

import dataset_similarity_tensor as dst

# Load 2 datasets V,W

## 1. Using kronecker product
VV = dst.tensorize_kr(V) 
WW = dst.tensorize_kr(W)

## 2. Using Third Order moment
VV = dst.tensorize_thirdordermoment(V).reshape(V.shape[1],-1) # We reshape because the principal angle are computed on an unfolded tensor (which becomes a matrix)
WW = dst.tensorize_thirdordermoment(W).reshape(W.shape[1],-1)

## Compute principal angle 
angle = dst.principal_angles_tensors(VV,WW)

The algorithms computing the principal angle thus resulting in an output between 0 and π/2, the closest this number is to 0 the more similar are the 2 datasets.
