• Abstract: Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is widely used for clustering with strong interpretability. Among general NMF problems, symmetric NMF is a special one that plays an important role in graph clustering where each element measures the similarity between data points. Most existing symmetric NMF algorithms require factor matrices to be nonnegative, and only focus on minimizing the gap between similarity matrix and its approximation for clustering, without giving a consideration to other potential regularization terms which can yield better clustering. In this paper, we explore factorizing a symmetric matrix that does not have to be nonnegative, presenting an efficient factorization algorithm with a regularization term to boost the clustering performance. Moreover, a more general framework is proposed to solve symmetric matrix factorization problems with different constraints on the factor matrices.

  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.

  We show that designing fast algorithms for the symmetric NMF is not as easy as for its nonsymmetric counterpart. We first split the decision variable and transform the symmetric NMF to a penalized nonsymmetric one. We then show that solving the penalized nonsymmetric reformulation returns a solution to the original symmetric NMF.

  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.

• Sparse Separable Nonnegative Matrix Factorization [22.679160149512377]
  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.
