Abstract

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has many applications as a tool for dimension reduction. In this paper, we reformulate the NMF from an information geometrical viewpoint. We show that a conventional optimization criterion is not geometrically natural, thus we propose to use more natural criterion. By this formulation, we can apply a geometrical algorithm based on the Pythagorean theorem. We also show the algorithm can improve the existing algorithm through numerical experiments.
