Given an order-$d$ tensor $\tensor A \in \R^{n \times n \times...\times n}$, we present a simple, element-wise sparsification algorithm that zeroes out all sufficiently small elements of $\tensor A$, keeps all sufficiently large elements of…

We show that the spectral norm of a random $n_1\times n_2\times \cdots \times n_K$ tensor (or higher-order array) scales as $O\left(\sqrt{(\sum_{k=1}^{K}n_k)\log(K)}\right)$ under some sub-Gaussian assumption on the entries. The proof is…
