save_result(path::AbstractString, result)

Save a TensorKitchen result object to path for later use.

• This uses Julia's built-in Serialization format, so the file is a Julia-native binary file.
• It is intended for saving results during local experiments, benchmarks, and development workflows.
• Common file extensions are .jls, .julia, .bin, or .tkresult; the extension is only a convention.

Examples

A = randn(20, 15, 10)
res = cpd(A, 35)

save_result("cpd_rank35.jls", res)

• You can also save richer records by serializing a NamedTuple of the result and additional metadata.

record = (
    method = :cpd,
    rank = 35,
    input_size = size(A),
    result = res,
)
save_result("experiment_cpd_rank35.jls", record)

load_result(path::AbstractString)

Load a previously saved TensorKitchen result or experiment record from path for later use.

• The file must be written with save_result, or otherwise created using Julia's Serialization.serialize.

Examples

res = load_result("cpd_rank35.jls")

weights(res)
factors(res)
reconstruct(res)

If the saved object was an experiment record, you can access the stored fields:

record = load_result("experiment_cpd_rank35.jls")

record.method
record.rank
record.input_size
record.result
record.result.weights
record.result.factors
reconstruct(record.result)
