The relationships between objects in a network are typically diverse and complex, leading to the heterogeneous edges with different semantic information. In this paper, we focus on exploring the heterogeneous edges for network…

The brain uses positive signals as a means of signaling. Forward interactions in the early visual cortex are also positive, realized by excitatory synapses. Only local interactions also include inhibition. Non-negative matrix factorization…

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is widely used for dimensionality reduction and interpretable analysis, but standard formulations are unsupervised and cannot directly exploit class labels. Existing supervised or semi-supervised…
