A deep matrix factorization method for learning attribute representations
Semi-Non-negative Matrix Factorization is a technique that learns a
low-dimensional representation of a dataset that lends itself to a clustering
interpretation. It is possible that the mapping between this new representation
and our original data matrix contains rather complex hierarchical information
with implicit lower-level hidden attributes, that classical one level
clustering methodologies can not interpret. In this work we propose a novel
model, Deep Semi-NMF, that is able to learn such hidden representations that
allow themselves to an interpretation of clustering according to different,
unknown attributes of a given dataset. We also present a semi-supervised
version of the algorithm, named Deep WSF, that allows the use of (partial)
prior information for each of the known attributes of a dataset, that allows
the model to be used on datasets with mixed attribute knowledge. Finally, we
show that our models are able to learn low-dimensional representations that are
better suited for clustering, but also classification, outperforming
Semi-Non-negative Matrix Factorization, but also other state-of-the-art
methodologies variants.Comment: Submitted to TPAMI (16-Mar-2015
Adaptive Graph via Multiple Kernel Learning for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has been continuously evolving in
several areas like pattern recognition and information retrieval methods. It
factorizes a matrix into a product of 2 low-rank non-negative matrices that
will define parts-based, and linear representation of nonnegative data.
Recently, Graph regularized NMF (GrNMF) is proposed to find a compact
representation,which uncovers the hidden semantics and simultaneously respects
the intrinsic geometric structure. In GNMF, an affinity graph is constructed
from the original data space to encode the geometrical information. In this
paper, we propose a novel idea which engages a Multiple Kernel Learning
approach into refining the graph structure that reflects the factorization of
the matrix and the new data space. The GrNMF is improved by utilizing the graph
refined by the kernel learning, and then a novel kernel learning method is
introduced under the GrNMF framework. Our approach shows encouraging results of
the proposed algorithm in comparison to the state-of-the-art clustering
algorithms like NMF, GrNMF, SVD etc.Comment: This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to the terrible

Graph Regularized Non-negative Matrix Factorization By Maximizing Correntropy
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has proved effective in many
clustering and classification tasks. The classic ways to measure the errors
between the original and the reconstructed matrix are distance or
Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. However, nonlinear cases are not properly
handled when we use these error measures. As a consequence, alternative
measures based on nonlinear kernels, such as correntropy, are proposed.
However, the current correntropy-based NMF only targets on the low-level
features without considering the intrinsic geometrical distribution of data. In
this paper, we propose a new NMF algorithm that preserves local invariance by
adding graph regularization into the process of max-correntropy-based matrix
factorization. Meanwhile, each feature can learn corresponding kernel from the
data. The experiment results of Caltech101 and Caltech256 show the benefits of
such combination against other NMF algorithms for the unsupervised image
clustering
Document Clustering Based On Max-Correntropy Non-Negative Matrix Factorization
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been successfully applied to many
areas for classification and clustering. Commonly-used NMF algorithms mainly
target on minimizing the distance or Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence,
which may not be suitable for nonlinear case. In this paper, we propose a new
decomposition method by maximizing the correntropy between the original and the
product of two low-rank matrices for document clustering. This method also
allows us to learn the new basis vectors of the semantic feature space from the
data. To our knowledge, we haven't seen any work has been done by maximizing
correntropy in NMF to cluster high dimensional document data. Our experiment
results show the supremacy of our proposed method over other variants of NMF
algorithm on Reuters21578 and TDT2 databasets.Comment: International Conference of Machine Learning and Cybernetics (ICMLC)

Top-N Recommendation on Graphs
Recommender systems play an increasingly important role in online
applications to help users find what they need or prefer. Collaborative
filtering algorithms that generate predictions by analyzing the user-item
rating matrix perform poorly when the matrix is sparse. To alleviate this
problem, this paper proposes a simple recommendation algorithm that fully
exploits the similarity information among users and items and intrinsic
structural information of the user-item matrix. The proposed method constructs
a new representation which preserves affinity and structure information in the
user-item rating matrix and then performs recommendation task. To capture
proximity information about users and items, two graphs are constructed.
Manifold learning idea is used to constrain the new representation to be smooth
on these graphs, so as to enforce users and item proximities. Our model is
formulated as a convex optimization problem, for which we need to solve the
well-known Sylvester equation only. We carry out extensive empirical
evaluations on six benchmark datasets to show the effectiveness of this
approach.Comment: CIKM 201
