In this paper, we present several descent methods that can be applied to nonnegative matrix factorization and we analyze a recently developped fast block coordinate method called Rank-one Residue Iteration (RRI). We also give a comparison of these different methods and show that the new block coordinate method has better properties in terms of approximation error and complexity. By interpreting...

Let (Mn, g), n ≥ 4, be a compact simply-connected Riemannian manifold with nonnegative isotropic curvature. Given 0 < l ≤ L, we prove that there exists ε = ε(l, L, n) satisfying the following: If the scalar curvature s of g satisfies l ≤ s ≤ L and the Einstein tensor satisfies |Ric − s n g| ≤ ε then M is diffeomorphic to a symmetric space of compact type. This is a smooth analogue of the result...

We present Vibrato Nonnegative Tensor Factorization, an algorithm for single-channel unsupervised audio source separation with an application to separating instrumental or vocal sources with nonstationary pitch from music recordings. Our approach extends Nonnegative Matrix Factorization for audio modeling by including local estimates of frequency modulation as cues in the separation. This permi...
