# (Approximate) matrix factorisation

Forget QR and LU decompositions, there are now so many ways of factorising matrices that there are not enough acronyms in the alphabet to hold them, especially if you suspect your matrix is sparse, or could be made sparse because of some underlying constraint, or probably could, if squinted at in the right fashion, be such as a graph transition matrix, or Laplacian, or noisy transform of some smooth object, or at least would be very close to sparse if you chose the right metric, or…

Your big matrix is close to, in some sense, the (tensor/matrix) product (or sum, or…) of some matrices that are in some way simple (small-rank, small dimension, sparse), possibly with additional constraints. Can you find these simple matrices?

Here’s an example. Godec --- A decomposition into low-rank and sparse components. (looks combined multidimensional factorisation and outlier detection).

There are so many more of these things, depending on your preferred choice of loss function, free variables and such.

Keywords: Matrix sketching, low-rank approximation, traditional dimensionality reduction.

Matrix concentration inequalities turn out to be useful in making this work.

• sparse or low-rank matrix approximation as clustering for density estimation, which is how I imagine high-dimensional mixture models would need to work, and thereby also
• Mercer kernel approximation.
• Connection to manifold learning is also probably worth examining.

Igor Carron’s Matrix Factorization Jungle classifies the following problems as matrix-factorisation type.

Kernel Factorizations
Spectral clustering
$$[A = DX]$$ with unknown D and X, solve for sparse X and X_i = 0 or 1
K-Means / K-Median clustering
$$[A = DX]$$ with unknown D and X, solve for XX^T = I and X_i = 0 or 1
Subspace clustering
$$[A = AX]$$ with unknown X, solve for sparse/other conditions on X
Graph Matching
$$[A = XBX^T]$$ with unknown X, B solve for B and X as a permutation
NMF
$$[A = DX]$$ with unknown D and X, solve for elements of D,X positive
Generalized Matrix Factorization
$$[W.*L − W.*UV']$$ with W a known mask, U,V unknowns solve for U,V and L lowest rank possible
Matrix Completion
$$[A = H.*L]$$ with H a known mask, L unknown solve for L lowest rank possible
Stable Principle Component Pursuit (SPCP)/ Noisy Robust PCA
$$[A = L + S + N]$$ with L, S, N unknown, solve for L low rank, S sparse, N noise
Robust PCA
$$[A = L + S]$$ with L, S unknown, solve for L low rank, S sparse
Sparse PCA
$$[A = DX]$$ with unknown D and X, solve for sparse D
Dictionary Learning
$$[A = DX]$$ with unknown D and X, solve for sparse X
Archetypal Analysis
$$[A = DX]$$ with unknown D and X, solve for D = AB with D, B positive
Matrix Compressive Sensing (MCS)
find a rank-r matrix L such that $$[A(L) ~= b]$$ / or $$[A(L+S) = b]$$
Multiple Measurement Vector (MMV)
$$[Y = A X]$$ with unknown X and rows of X are sparse
compressed sensing
$$[Y = A X]$$ with unknown X and rows of X are sparse, X is one column.
Blind Source Separation (BSS)
$$[Y = A X]$$ with unknown A and X and statistical independence between columns of X or subspaces of columns of X
Partial and Online SVD/PCA
Tensor Decomposition

Truncated Classic PCA is clearly also an example of this, but is excluded from the list for some reason. Boringness? the fact it’s a special case of Sparse PCA?

## Why does it ever work

For certain types of data matrix, here is a possibly plausible explanation:

Udell and Townsend (2019) ask “Why Are Big Data Matrices Approximately Low Rank?”

Matrices of (approximate) low rank are pervasive in data science, appearing in movie preferences, text documents, survey data, medical records, and genomics. While there is a vast literature on how to exploit low rank structure in these datasets, there is less attention paid to explaining why the low rank structure appears in the first place. Here, we explain the effectiveness of low rank models in data science by considering a simple generative model for these matrices: we suppose that each row or column is associated to a (possibly high dimensional) bounded latent variable, and entries of the matrix are generated by applying a piecewise analytic function to these latent variables. These matrices are in general full rank. However, we show that we can approximate every entry of an $$m\times n$$ matrix drawn from this model to within a fixed absolute error by a low rank matrix whose rank grows as $$\mathcal{O}(\log(m+n))$$. Hence any sufficiently large matrix from such a latent variable model can be approximated, up to a small entrywise error, by a low rank matrix.

## As regression

Total Least Squares (a.k.a. orthogonal distance regression, or error-in-variables least-squares linear regression) is a low-rank matrix approximation that minimises the Frobenius divergence from the data matrix. Who knew?

## Sketching

“Sketching” is a common term to describe a certain type of low-rank factorisation, although I am not sure which types. 🏗

(Martinsson 2016) mentions CUR and interpolative decompositions. Does preconditioning fit here?

## $$[\mathcal{H}]$$-matrix methods

It seems like low-rank matrix factorisation could related to $$[\mathcal{H}]$$-matrix methods, as seen in, e.g. covariance matrices, but I do not know enough to say more.

See hmatrix.org for one lab’s backgrounder and their implementation, h2lib, hlibpro for a black-box closed-source one.

## Randomized methods

Rather than find an optimal solution, why not just choose a random one which might be good enough? There are indeed randomised versions.

## Connections to kernel learning

See (Grosse et al. 2012) for a mind-melting compositional matrix factorization diagram, constructing a search over hierarchical kernel decompositions with some matrix factorisation interpretation.

## Implementations

“Enough theory! Plug the hip new toy into my algorithm!”

OK.

NMF Toolbox (MATLAB and Python)

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a family of methods widely used for information retrieval across domains including text, images, and audio. Within music processing, NMF has been used for tasks such as transcription, source separation, and structure analysis. Prior work has shown that initialization and constrained update rules can drastically improve the chances of NMF converging to a musically meaningful solution. Along these lines we present the NMF toolbox, containing MATLAB and Python implementations of conceptually distinct NMF variants—in particular, this paper gives an overview for two algorithms. The first variant, called nonnegative matrix factor deconvolution (NMFD), extends the original NMF algorithm to the convolutive case, enforcing the temporal order of spectral templates. The second variant, called diagonal NMF, supports the development of sparse diagonal structures in the activation matrix. Our toolbox contains several demo applications and code examples to illustrate its potential and functionality. By providing MATLAB and Python code on a documentation website under a GNU-GPL license, as well as including illustrative examples, our aim is to foster research and education in the field of music processing.

HPC for matlab, R, python, c++: libpmf:

LIBPMF implements the CCD++ algorithm, which aims to solve large-scale matrix factorization problems such as the low-rank factorization problems for recommender systems.

NMF (R): 🏗

Laplacians.jl (Julia):

Laplacians is a package containing graph algorithms, with an emphsasis on tasks related to spectral and algebraic graph theory. It contains (and will contain more) code for solving systems of linear equations in graph Laplacians, low stretch spanning trees, sparsifiation, clustering, local clustering, and optimization on graphs.

All graphs are represented by sparse adjacency matrices. This is both for speed, and because our main concerns are algebraic tasks. It does not handle dynamic graphs. It would be very slow to implement dynamic graphs this way.

Matlab: Chih-Jen Lin’s nmf.m - “This tool solves NMF by alternative non-negative least squares using projected gradients. It converges faster than the popular multiplicative update approach. ”

Distributed NMF: In this repository, we offer both MPI and OPENMP implementation for MU, HALS and ANLS/BPP based NMF algorithms. This can run off the shelf as well easy to integrate in other source code. These are very highly tuned NMF algorithms to work on super computers. We have tested this software in NERSC as well OLCF cluster. The openmp implementation is tested on many different Linux variants with intel processors. The library works well for both sparse and dense matrix. (KaBP16_, Kann16_, FKPB15_)

Spams (C++/MATLAB/python) includes some matrix factorisations in its sparse approx toolbox. (see optimisation)

scikit-learn (python) does a few matrix factorisation in its inimitable batteries-in-the-kitchen-sink way.

(python) -

nimfa is a Python library for nonnegative matrix factorization. It includes implementations of several factorization methods, initialization approaches, and quality scoring. Both dense and sparse matrix representation are supported.”

Tapkee (C++). Pro-tip — even without coding C++, tapkee does a long list of dimensionality reduction from the CLI.

• PCA and randomized PCA
• Kernel PCA (kPCA)
• Random projection
• Factor analysis

tensorly supports some interesting tesnor decompositions.
