Matrix Factorization: Nonnegativity, Sparsity and Independence
Matrix factorization arises in a wide range of application domains and is useful for extracting the latent features in the dataset. Examples include recommender systems, brain data analysis, and document clustering. In this dissertation, we are interested in matrix factorizations which impose the …

Predicting NBA games with matrix factorization
… the methods I use to predict NBA games using matrix factorization. Matrix factorization is popular through the Netflix recommendation problem, but in general, one can apply it to data that are best modeled as the result of pairwise interaction. My thesis contains three parts. First, I explain …

Convex matrix factorization for gene expression analysis
… for gene expression analysis relying upon convex matrix factorization (CMF). In CMF, one of the matrix factors has a convexity constraint, that is, each row is nonnegative and sums to one, and hence can be interpreted as a probability distribution. This is motivated biologically by expression data …

Sequentially-fit alternating least squares algorithms in nonnegative matrix factorization
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and nonnegative least squares regression (NNLS regression) are widely used in the physical sciences; this thesis explores the often-overlooked origins of NMF in the psychometrics literature. Another method originating in psychometrics is sequentially-fit …

Online parameter selection for source separation using non-negative matrix factorization
Blind source separation has been an area of study recently due to the many applications that might benefit from a good blind source separation algo- rithm. One instance is using blind source separation for audio denoising in cellular phones. In almost all instances, we have very little, if any, …
