NMF Algorithm/Updates for Kullback-Leibler Divergence

Description

The built-in NMF algorithms described here minimise the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL) between an NMF model and a target matrix. They use the updates for the basis and coefficient matrices (W and H) defined by Brunet et al. (2004), which are essentially those from Lee et al. (2001), with an stabilisation step that shift up all entries from zero every 10 iterations, to a very small positive value.

nmf_update.brunet implements in C++ an optimised version of the single update step.

Algorithms ‘brunet’ and ‘.R#brunet’ provide the complete NMF algorithm from Brunet et al. (2004), using the C++-optimised and pure R updates nmf_update.brunet and nmf_update.brunet_R respectively.

Algorithm ‘KL’ provides an NMF algorithm based on the C++-optimised version of the updates from Brunet et al. (2004), which uses the stationarity of the objective value as a stopping criterion nmf.stop.stationary, instead of the stationarity of the connectivity matrix nmf.stop.connectivity as used by ‘brunet’.

Usage

  nmf_update.brunet_R(i, v, x, eps = .Machine$double.eps,
    ...)

  nmf_update.brunet(i, v, x, copy = FALSE,
    eps = .Machine$double.eps, ...)

  nmfAlgorithm.brunet_R(..., .stop = NULL,
    maxIter = nmf.getOption("maxIter") %||% 2000,
    eps = .Machine$double.eps, stopconv = 40,
    check.interval = 10)

  nmfAlgorithm.brunet(..., .stop = NULL,
    maxIter = nmf.getOption("maxIter") %||% 2000,
    copy = FALSE, eps = .Machine$double.eps, stopconv = 40,
    check.interval = 10)

  nmfAlgorithm.KL(..., .stop = NULL,
    maxIter = nmf.getOption("maxIter") %||% 2000,
    copy = FALSE, eps = .Machine$double.eps,
    stationary.th = .Machine$double.eps,
    check.interval = 5 * check.niter, check.niter = 10L)

Arguments

i

current iteration number.

v

target matrix.

x

current NMF model, as an NMF object.

eps

small numeric value used to ensure numeric stability, by shifting up entries from zero to this fixed value.

...

extra arguments. These are generally not used and present only to allow other arguments from the main call to be passed to the initialisation and stopping criterion functions (slots onInit and Stop respectively).

copy

logical that indicates if the update should be made on the original matrix directly (FALSE) or on a copy (TRUE - default). With copy=FALSE the memory footprint is very small, and some speed-up may be achieved in the case of big matrices. However, greater care should be taken due the side effect. We recommend that only experienced users use copy=TRUE.

.stop

specification of a stopping criterion, that is used instead of the one associated to the NMF algorithm. It may be specified as:

  • the access key of a registered stopping criterion;

  • a single integer that specifies the exact number of iterations to perform, which will be honoured unless a lower value is explicitly passed in argument maxIter.

  • a single numeric value that specifies the stationnarity threshold for the objective function, used in with nmf.stop.stationary;

  • a function with signature (object="NMFStrategy", i="integer", y="matrix", x="NMF", ...), where object is the NMFStrategy object that describes the algorithm being run, i is the current iteration, y is the target matrix and x is the current value of the NMF model.

maxIter

maximum number of iterations to perform.

stopconv

number of iterations intervals over which the connectivity matrix must not change for stationarity to be achieved.

check.interval

interval (in number of iterations) on which the stopping criterion is computed.

stationary.th

maximum absolute value of the gradient, for the objective function to be considered stationary.

check.niter

number of successive iteration used to compute the stationnary criterion.

Details

nmf_update.brunet_R implements in pure R a single update step, i.e. it updates both matrices.
