Bridging the gap between internal and external validity is crucial for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), favoured for their internal validity due to randomisation, often encounter challenges in…

Tensor completion is a fundamental tool for incomplete data analysis, where the goal is to predict missing entries from partial observations. However, existing methods often make the explicit or implicit assumption that the observed entries…
