Fast Parallel Randomized Algorithm for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization with KL Divergence for Large Sparse Datasets
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) with Kullback-Leibler Divergence
(NMF-KL) is one of the most significant NMF problems and equivalent to
Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PLSI), which has been successfully
applied in many applications. For sparse count data, a Poisson distribution and
KL divergence provide sparse models and sparse representation, which describe
the random variation better than a normal distribution and Frobenius norm.
Specially, sparse models provide more concise understanding of the appearance
of attributes over latent components, while sparse representation provides
concise interpretability of the contribution of latent components over
instances. However, minimizing NMF with KL divergence is much more difficult
than minimizing NMF with Frobenius norm; and sparse models, sparse
representation and fast algorithms for large sparse datasets are still
challenges for NMF with KL divergence. In this paper, we propose a fast
parallel randomized coordinate descent algorithm having fast convergence for
large sparse datasets to archive sparse models and sparse representation. The
proposed algorithm's experimental results overperform the current studies' ones
in this problem

Parallel Algorithms for Constrained Tensor Factorization via the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers
Tensor factorization has proven useful in a wide range of applications, from
sensor array processing to communications, speech and audio signal processing,
and machine learning. With few recent exceptions, all tensor factorization
algorithms were originally developed for centralized, in-memory computation on
a single machine; and the few that break away from this mold do not easily
incorporate practically important constraints, such as nonnegativity. A new
constrained tensor factorization framework is proposed in this paper, building
upon the Alternating Direction method of Multipliers (ADMoM). It is shown that
this simplifies computations, bypassing the need to solve constrained
optimization problems in each iteration; and it naturally leads to distributed
algorithms suitable for parallel implementation on regular high-performance
computing (e.g., mesh) architectures. This opens the door for many emerging big
data-enabled applications. The methodology is exemplified using nonnegativity
as a baseline constraint, but the proposed framework can more-or-less readily
incorporate many other types of constraints. Numerical experiments are very
encouraging, indicating that the ADMoM-based nonnegative tensor factorization
(NTF) has high potential as an alternative to state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: Submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
Fast Conical Hull Algorithms for Near-separable Non-negative Matrix Factorization
The separability assumption (Donoho & Stodden, 2003; Arora et al., 2012)
turns non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) into a tractable problem.
Recently, a new class of provably-correct NMF algorithms have emerged under
this assumption. In this paper, we reformulate the separable NMF problem as
that of finding the extreme rays of the conical hull of a finite set of
vectors. From this geometric perspective, we derive new separable NMF
algorithms that are highly scalable and empirically noise robust, and have
several other favorable properties in relation to existing methods. A parallel
implementation of our algorithm demonstrates high scalability on shared- and
distributed-memory machines.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
Fast Robust PCA on Graphs
Mining useful clusters from high dimensional data has received significant
attention of the computer vision and pattern recognition community in the
recent years. Linear and non-linear dimensionality reduction has played an
important role to overcome the curse of dimensionality. However, often such
methods are accompanied with three different problems: high computational
complexity (usually associated with the nuclear norm minimization),
non-convexity (for matrix factorization methods) and susceptibility to gross
corruptions in the data. In this paper we propose a principal component
analysis (PCA) based solution that overcomes these three issues and
approximates a low-rank recovery method for high dimensional datasets. We
target the low-rank recovery by enforcing two types of graph smoothness
assumptions, one on the data samples and the other on the features by designing
a convex optimization problem. The resulting algorithm is fast, efficient and
scalable for huge datasets with O(nlog(n)) computational complexity in the
number of data samples. It is also robust to gross corruptions in the dataset
as well as to the model parameters. Clustering experiments on 7 benchmark
datasets with different types of corruptions and background separation
experiments on 3 video datasets show that our proposed model outperforms 10
state-of-the-art dimensionality reduction models. Our theoretical analysis
proves that the proposed model is able to recover approximate low-rank
representations with a bounded error for clusterable data
