Researchers have developed a new framework called Spatiotemporal Variational Tensor Decomposition (ST-VTD) to better model complex, subject-specific patterns in multisubject spatiotemporal data, particularly in neuroimaging. This approach combines a tensor factorization generative model with structured priors, using a low-rank structure for spatial factors and a learned Long short-term memory (LSTM)-based prior for temporal dynamics. The framework utilizes an amortized variational formulation for posterior inference, incorporating a warm-start strategy based on group independent component analysis to enhance optimization. Experiments on synthetic fMRI data showed that ST-VTD significantly improved latent factor recovery compared to existing benchmarks. AI
