CIKM 2016: Efficient Orthogonal Non-negative Matrix Factorization over Stiefel Manifold

This work has been accepted as a full paper by CIKM 2016. Non-negative Matrix Factorization is an important mathematical tool for various data mining applications. In this paper, CDIT researchers develop an efficient orthogonal non-negative matrix factorization over Stiefel manifold, which significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of convergence speed and clustering performance. Efficient Orthogonal Non-negative Matrix Factorization over […]
