Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been used as a powerful date representation tool in real world, because the nonnegativity of matrices is usually required. In recent years, many new methods are available to solve NMF in addition to multiplicative update algorithm, such as gradient descent algorithms, the active set method, and alternating nonnegative least squares (ANLS). In this paper, we propose an inexact update method, with two parameters, which can ensure that the objective function is always descent before the optimal solution is found. Experiment results show that the proposed method is effective.

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) can be formulated as a minimization problem with bound constraints. Although bound-constrained optimization has been studied extensively in both theory and practice, so far no study has formally applied its techniques to NMF. In this letter, we propose two projected gradient methods for NMF, both of which exhibit strong optimization properties. We discuss efficient implementations and demonstrate that one of the proposed methods converges faster than the popular multiplicative update approach. A simple Matlab code is also provided.

Hyperspectral unmixing is a powerful method of the remote sensing image mining that identifies the constituent materials and estimates the corresponding fractions from the mixture. We consider the application of nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) for the mining and analysis of spectral data. In this paper, we develop two effective active set type NMF algorithms for hyperspectral unmixing. Because the factor matrices used in unmixing have sparse features, the active set strategy helps reduce the computational cost. These active set type algorithms for NMF is based on an alternating nonnegative constrained least squares (ANLS) and achieve a quadratic convergence rate under the reasonable assumptions. Finally, numerical tests demonstrate that these algorithms work well and that the function values decrease faster than those obtained with other algorithms.
