Hypertension is a heterogeneous syndrome in need of improved subtyping using phenotypic and genetic measurements so that patients in different subtypes share similar pathophysiologic mechanisms and respond more uniformly to targeted…
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has become a workhorse for signal and data analytics, triggered by its model parsimony and interpretability. Perhaps a bit surprisingly, the understanding to its model identifiability---the major…
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has proved effective in many clustering and classification tasks. The classic ways to measure the errors between the original and the reconstructed matrix are $l_2$ distance or Kullback-Leibler (KL)…
Detailed phenotype information is fundamental to accurate diagnosis and risk estimation of diseases. As a rich source of phenotype information, electronic health records (EHRs) promise to empower diagnostic variant interpretation. However,…
Healthcare data now span EHRs, medical imaging, genomics, and wearable sensors, but most diagnostic models still process these modalities in isolation. This limits their ability to capture early, cross-modal disease signatures. This paper…
Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a widely-used data analysis technique, and has yielded impressive results in many real-world tasks. Generally, existing NMF methods represent each sample with several centroids, and find the optimal…
