Abstract

Coupled Matrix Tensor Factorization (CMTF) facilitates the integration and analysis of multiple data sources and helps discover meaningful information. Nonnegative CMTF (N-CMTF) has been employed in many applications for identifying latent patterns, prediction, and recommendation. However, due to the added complexity with coupling between tensor and matrix data, existing N-CMTF algorithms exhibit poor computation efficiency. In this paper, a computationally efficient N-CMTF factorization algorithm is presented based on the column-wise element selection, preventing frequent gradient updates. Theoretical and empirical analyses show that the proposed N-CMTF factorization algorithm is not only more accurate but also more computationally efficient than existing algorithms in approximating the tensor as well as in identifying the underlying nature of factors.
