Robust capped norm dual hyper-graph regularized non-negative matrix tri-factorization

Abstract

<abstract><p>Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has been widely used in machine learning and data mining fields. As an extension of NMF, non-negative matrix tri-factorization (NMTF) provides more degrees of freedom than NMF. However, standard NMTF algorithm utilizes Frobenius norm to calculate residual error, which can be dramatically affected by noise and outliers. Moreover, the hidden geometric information in feature manifold and sample manifold is rarely learned. Hence, a novel robust capped norm dual hyper-graph regularized non-negative matrix tri-factorization (RCHNMTF) is proposed. First, a robust capped norm is adopted to handle extreme outliers. Second, dual hyper-graph regularization is considered to exploit intrinsic geometric information in feature manifold and sample manifold. Third, orthogonality constraints are added to learn unique data presentation and improve clustering performance. The experiments on seven datasets testify the robustness and superiority of RCHNMTF.</p></abstract>
