arXiv:1312. 0925v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Alternating Minimization is a widely used and empirically successful heuristic for matrix completion and related low-rank optimization problems.
arXiv:2602. 04795v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a popular data embedding technique.
arXiv:2606. 31390v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-rank matrix optimization is often carried out via the Burer-Monteiro (BM) formulation, but choosing the factorization rank $r$ is delicate and can substantially slow optimization.
arXiv:2607. 13919v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a fundamental tool in unsupervised learning, which approximates a nonnegative matrix by the product of two low-rank nonnegative factors.
arXiv:2607. 20084v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Non--negative matrix factorization (NMF) has become an established dimensionality reduction technique for extracting latent structures from non--negative data and has found widespread applications in fields such as bioinformatics, text mining, image analysis, and recommender systems.
arXiv:2607. 24518v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Symmetric non-negative matrix factorization (SymNMF) recovers latent group structure from a dependence matrix, but its dense, quadratic-memory objective has confined prior work to moderate sizes.
