Abstract—We have been conducting research on
multi-dimensional data analysis. Because it is difficult to teach
students of our laboratory the concept of multidimensional data
processing, we are developing teaching materials to make them
easier to understand that. In this paper, we described a method
to solve 3-d puzzles using HOSVD, which is one of the methods
of tensor decomposition, and proposed utilizing it to education.
Specifically, we took up several kinds of 3-d puzzles and showed
their solutions and scripts of R language.
Index Terms—Multidimensional data processing, tensor
decomposition, HOSVD, 3-d puzzles, understanding support.
