pyCP_APR is a Python library for tensor decomposition and anomaly detection. It is designed for the fast analysis of large datasets by accelerating computation speed using GPUs. pyCP_APR uses the CANDECOMP/PARAFAC Alternating Poisson Regression (CP-APR) tensor factorization algorithm utilizing both Numpy and PyTorch backend. While the Numpy backend can be used for the analysis of both sparse and dense tensors, PyTorch backend provides faster decomposition of large and sparse tensors on the GPU. pyCP_APR's Scikit-learn like API allows comfortable interaction with the library, and include the methods for anomaly detection via the p-values obtained from the CP-APR factorization.
