Original: Compared with TT-TC (PAM), TR-TC (PAM), and FCTN-TC (PAM), the TW-TCmethod achieves the optimal RSE values  for the majority of samples using both competitive computingefﬁciency and lower storage complexity (see Appendix C), which experimentally demonstrates thesuperior characterization ability of TW decomposition and strongly supports the theoretical analysispresented in Sections 1 and 2.3.Moreover, the faster computational efﬁciency of TW-TC over the Tucker-TC model implies that TW decomposition can alleviate the curse of high-order core factor oncomputational burden, achieving greater applicability than Tucker decomposition.
