• Abstract: Symmetric nonnegative matrix factorization (SNMF) has demonstrated to be a powerful method for data clustering. However, SNMF is mathematically formulated as a non-convex optimization problem, making it sensitive to the initialization of variables. Inspired by ensemble clustering that aims to seek a better clustering result from a set of clustering results, we propose self-supervised SNMF (S$^3$NMF), which is capable of boosting clustering performance progressively by taking advantage of the sensitivity to initialization characteristic of SNMF, without relying on any additional information. Specifically, we first perform SNMF repeatedly with a random nonnegative matrix for initialization each time, leading to multiple decomposed matrices. Then, we rank the quality of the resulting matrices with adaptively learned weights, from which a new similarity matrix that is expected to be more discriminative is reconstructed for SNMF again. These two steps are iterated until the stopping criterion/maximum number of iterations is achieved. We mathematically formulate S$^3$NMF as a constraint optimization problem, and provide an alternative optimization algorithm to solve it with the theoretical convergence guaranteed. Extensive experimental results on $10$ commonly used benchmark datasets demonstrate the significant advantage of our S$^3$NMF over $12$ state-of-the-art methods in terms of $5$ quantitative metrics.

  Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) aims to classify both base and novel images using labeled base data. Current approaches inadequately address the intrinsic optimization of the co-occurrence matrix $barA$ based on cosine similarity. We propose a Non-Negative Generalized Category Discovery (NN-GCD) framework to address these deficiencies.

  Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been widely studied in recent years due to its effectiveness in representing nonnegative data with parts-based representations. We propose a new NMF method with log-norm imposed on the factor matrices to enhance the sparseness. A novel column-wisely sparse norm, named $ell_2,log$-(pseudo) norm, is proposed to enhance the robustness of the proposed method.

  We solve a weakly supervised regression problem. Under "weakly" we understand that for some training points the labels are known, for some unknown, and for others uncertain due to the presence of random noise or other reasons such as lack of resources. In the numerical section, we applied the suggested method to artificial and real datasets using Monte-Carlo modeling.

  We propose a new variant of nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) Separability requires that the columns of the first NMF factor are equal to columns of the input matrix, while sparsity requires that the columns of the second NMF factor are sparse. We prove that, in noiseless settings and under mild assumptions, our algorithm recovers the true underlying sources.
