Learning the parts of objects by non-negative matrix factorization

TL;DR: An algorithm for non-negative matrix factorization is demonstrated that is able to learn parts of faces and semantic features of text and is in contrast to other methods that learn holistic, not parts-based, representations.

TL;DR: In this article, non-negative matrix factorization is used to learn parts of faces and semantic features of text, which is in contrast to principal components analysis and vector quantization that learn holistic, not parts-based, representations.

Algorithms for Non-negative Matrix Factorization

TL;DR: Two different multiplicative algorithms for non-negative matrix factorization are analyzed and one algorithm can be shown to minimize the conventional least squares error while the other minimizes the generalized Kullback-Leibler divergence.

Bounding the role of black carbon in the climate system: A scientific assessment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an assessment of black-carbon climate forcing that is comprehensive in its inclusion of all known and relevant processes and that is quantitative in providing best estimates and uncertainties of the main forcing terms: direct solar absorption; influence on liquid, mixed phase, and ice clouds; and deposition on snow and ice.

Robust Estimation of a Location Parameter

TL;DR: In this article, a new approach toward a theory of robust estimation is presented, which treats in detail the asymptotic theory of estimating a location parameter for contaminated normal distributions, and exhibits estimators that are asyptotically most robust (in a sense to be specified) among all translation invariant estimators.

Positive matrix factorization: A non-negative factor model with optimal utilization of error estimates of data values†

TL;DR: In this paper, a new variant of Factor Analysis (PMF) is described, where the problem is solved in the weighted least squares sense: G and F are determined so that the Frobenius norm of E divided (element-by-element) by σ is minimized.

Tensorial resolution: A direct trilinear decomposition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced a method for reducing the problem to a rectangular generalized eigenvalue-eigenvector equation where the eigenvectors are the contravariant form (pseudo-inverse) of the actual factors.

Analysis of different modes of factor analysis as least squares fit problems

TL;DR: It is shown that each mode of principal component analysis or ‘factor analysis’ is equivalent to solving a certain least squares problem where certain error estimators σ ij are assumed for the measured data matrix X ij and the best posssible scaling and a near-optimal scaling are introduced.

Source identification of bulk wet deposition in Finland by positive matrix factorization

TL;DR: In this paper, a positive matrix factorization (PMF) was applied to a Finnish data set (18 years, 15 locations) of monthly bulk wet deposition concentrations of strong acids, SO4, NO3, NH4, total nitrogen (Ntot), total phosphorus (Ptot) and total organic carbon (TOC).
