On Trivial Solution and Scale Transfer Problems in Graph Regularized NMF
Quanquan Gu, Chris Ding and Jiawei Han
Combining graph regularization with nonnegative matrix (tri-)factorization (NMF) has shown great performance improvement compared with traditional nonnegative matrix (tri-)factorization models due to its ability to utilize the geometric structure of the documents and words. In this paper, we show that these models are not well-defined and suffering from trivial solution and scale transfer problems. In order to solve these common problems, we propose two models for graph regularized nonnegative matrix (tri-)factorization, which can be applied for document clustering and co-clustering respectively. In the proposed models, Normalized Cut like constraint is imposed on the cluster assignment matrix to make the optimization problem well-defined. We derive a multiplicative updating algorithm for the proposed models, and prove its convergence. Experiments of clustering and co-clustering on benchmark text data sets demonstrate that the proposed models outperform the original models as well as many other state-of-the-art clustering methods.
