This project aims to devise efficient tensor networks, especially for sparse data, which are prevalent in many real-world applications. The impacts of the project encompass four aspects: 1) Improving data compression, computation, memory usage, and interpretability of tensor networks; 2) fostering enduring and collaborative partnerships among academia, national research labs, and industry with a shared focus on the aforementioned applications; and 3) broadening education avenues by designing relevant new courses, training undergraduate and graduate students, organizing workshops, and enhancing K-12 outreach.
