arXiv:2608. 08642v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study exact Kullback--Leibler (KL) projection for low-rank factorizations whose two nonnegative factors have prescribed row marginals and a shared, learned column marginal.
arXiv:2606. 02887v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Symmetric nonnegative matrix factorization (Symmetric NMF) approximates a matrix as $WW^T$ with nonnegative rectangular factor $W$.
arXiv:2607. 21039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spectral methods are among the most widely used techniques for community detection, clustering, and graph learning.
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.
arXiv:2606. 08291v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the symmetric multi-type orthogonal non-negative matrix tri-factorization problem, where several symmetric non-negative matrices are simultaneously approximated by factors of the form $GS_{i}G^{\top}$, with a shared non-negative and orthogonal factor $G$.
arXiv:2606. 19411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selecting a small, diverse, high-quality subset from a massive pool of candidates is a recurring primitive in modern machine learning -- data curation and coreset selection for training and fine-tuning large models, active-learning batch acquisition, prompt and exemplar selection for in-context learning, retrieval diversification, and experimental design.
arXiv:2607. 25624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Positive quadratic networks admit the low-rank representation f_U(x)=x^top UU^top x, where Uinmathbb{R}^{dtimes r} is identifiable only up to right orthogonal multiplication, representing a rank-r PSD matrix Q=UU^top.
arXiv:2606. 00413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sufficient dimension reduction (SDR) makes high-dimensional regression tractable by projecting the covariates onto a low-dimensional subspace that preserves the conditional mean of the response.
arXiv:2608. 12009v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bregman proximal stochastic gradient (BPSG) methods bring variance-reduced composite optimization to objectives whose geometry is poorly captured by Euclidean smoothness.
arXiv:2602. 20376v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the problem of maximizing a complex-valued quadratic form over the $K^{\text{th}}$ roots of unity.
arXiv:2607. 10618v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We consider the recovery of a pair of sparse vectors from a limited number of nonlinear observations of their superposition: $y_i=g(\inner{\ba_i}{\bPhi\bw^\ast+\bPsi\bz^\ast})+e_i$, $i=1,\dots,m$, with $m\ll n$, incoherent orthonormal bases $\bPhi,\bPsi$, a scalar link $g$, and noise $e_i$ that may be heavy-tailed or contaminated.

arXiv:2606. 28307v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We analyze Bregman ADMM for nonconvex linearly constrained problems under two-sided relative smoothness, a condition that replaces the standard Lipschitz gradient assumption with a Hessian comparison relative to a Bregman kernel.
