Negative Binomial Matrix Factorization
Résumé
We introduce negative binomial matrix factoriza-tion (NBMF), a matrix factorization technique specially designed for analyzing over-dispersed count data. It can be viewed as an extension of Poisson factorization (PF) perturbed by a multiplicative term which models exposure. This term brings a degree of freedom for controlling the dispersion, making NBMF more robust to outliers. We describe a majorization-minimization (MM) algorithm for a maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters. We provide results on a recommendation task and demonstrate the ability of NBMF to efficiently exploit raw data.
