Abstract
Nonnegative Boltzmann machines (NNBMs) are recurrent probabilistic neural network models that can describe multi-modal nonnegative data. NNBMs form rectified Gaussian distributions that appear in biological neural network models, positive matrix factorization, nonnegative matrix factorization, and so on. In this paper, an effective inference method for NNBMs is proposed that uses the mean-field method, referred to as the Thouless--Anderson--Palmer equation, and the diagonal consistency method, which was recently proposed.
