• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: The symmetric Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF), a special but important class of the general NMF, has found numerous applications in data analysis such as various clustering tasks. Unfortunately, designing fast algorithms for the symmetric NMF is not as easy as for its nonsymmetric counterpart, since the latter admits the splitting property that allows state-of-the-art alternating-type algorithms. To overcome this issue, we first split the decision variable and transform the symmetric NMF to a penalized nonsymmetric one, paving the way for designing efficient alternating-type algorithms. We then show that solving the penalized nonsymmetric reformulation returns a solution to the original symmetric NMF. Moreover, we design a family of alternating-type algorithms and show that they all admit strong convergence guarantee: the generated sequence of iterates is convergent and converges at least sublinearly to a critical point of the original symmetric NMF. Finally, we conduct experiments on both synthetic data and real image clustering to support our theoretical results and demonstrate the performance of the alternating-type algorithms.

  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 theoretically examine the robustness of the traditional NMF, HCNMF, and L2,1-NMF algorithms and execute sets of experiments to demonstrate the robustness on ORL and Extended YaleB datasets. Due to the computational cost of these approaches, our final models, such as the HCNMF and L2,1-NMF model, fail to converge within the parameters of this work.

  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 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.
