Query: Notes on Low-rank Matrix Factorization   Low-rank matrix factorization (MF) is an important technique in data science.
The key idea of MF is that there exists latent structures in the data, by
uncovering which we could obtain a compressed representation of the data. By
factorizing an original matrix to low-rank matrices, MF provides a unified
method for dimension reduction, clustering, and matrix completion. In this
article we review several important variants of MF, including: Basic MF,
Non-negative MF, Orthogonal non-negative MF. As can be told from their names,
non-negative MF and orthogonal non-negative MF are variants of basic MF with
non-negativity and/or orthogonality constraints. Such constraints are useful in
specific senarios. In the first part of this article, we introduce, for each of
these models, the application scenarios, the distinctive properties, and the
optimizing method. By properly adapting MF, we can go beyond the problem of
clustering and matrix completion. In the second part of this article, we will
extend MF to sparse matrix compeletion, enhance matrix compeletion using
various regularization methods, and make use of MF for (semi-)supervised
learning by introducing latent space reinforcement and transformation. We will
see that MF is not only a useful model but also as a flexible framework that is
applicable for various prediction problems.
