Contributions summary:Sejong primarily focused on bug fixes and code refactoring within the `tensorly` backend. Their contributions included resolving a TypeError related to the `partial_svd` function, ensuring proper handling of `None` values for `n_eigenvecs`. They also addressed code style by using UTF-8 encoding and integrated a merge of code from a different user branch, and performed auto-formatting. Additionally, they refactored code to pass tests within the project.
