We use a multiscale approach to reduce the time to produce the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) of a matrix A, that is, A ≈ WH. We also investigate QR factorization as a method for initializing W during the iterative process for producing the nonnegative matrix factorization of A. Finally, we use our approach to produce nonnegative matrix factorizations for classifying images and compare ...

We consider an adversarially-trained version of the nonnegative matrix factorization, a popular latent dimensionality reduction technique. In our formulation, attacker adds arbitrary bounded norm to given data matrix. design efficient algorithms inspired by adversarial training optimize for dictionary and coefficient matrices with enhanced generalization abilities. Extensive simulations on synt...
