I am trying to apply NMF on my dataset, using python scikit-learn. My dataset contains 0 values and missing values. But scikit-learn does not allow NaN value in data matrix. Some posts said that re...

I have a sparse matrix in R I now wish to perform nonnegative matrix factorization on R data.txt is a text file i created using python, it consists of 3 columns where first column specifies the row...

Using Scikit-learn (v 0.15.2) for non-negative matrix factorization on a large sparse matrix (less than 1% values > 0). I want to find factors by minimizing errors only on non-zero values of the ma...

I look for a NMF implementation that has a python interface, and handles both missing data and zeros. I don't want to impute my missing values before starting the factorization, I want them to be ...

I am trying to implement ALS algorithm in Dask, but I am having trouble figuring out how to compute latent feautures in one step. I followed formulas on this stackoverflow thread and come up with t...

I am trying to implement NMF with Alternating Least Squares method. I am just curious about the following basic implementation of the problem: If I understand correctly, we can solve for each mat...

I have a sparse banded matrix A and I'd like to (direct) solve Ax=b. I have about 500 vectors b, so I'd like to solve for the corresponding 500 x's. I'm brand new to CUDA, so I'm a little confused...

I am using WALS method in order to perform matrix factorization. Initially in tensorflow 1.13 I can import factorization_ops using from tensorflow.contrib.factorization.python.ops import factoriza...

I have three DB models (from Django) that can be used as the input for building a recommendation system: Users List - with userId, username, email etc Movies List - with movieId, movieTitle, Topi...

I remember one of the strong points of lightfm is that the model does not suffer from cold start problem, both user and item cold start: lightfm original paper However, I still don't understand h...

There is no LU factorization function in R core. Although such factorization is a step of solve, it is not made explicitly available as a stand-alone function. Can we write an R function for this? ...

Is there a way to use sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split to retain all unique values from a specific column(s) in the training set. Let me set up an example. The most common matrix factoriz...

I would like to compare the output of an algorithm with different preprocessed data: NMF and PCA. In order to get somehow a comparable result, instead of choosing just the same number of components...

Given a MatrixFactorizationModel what would be the most efficient way to return the full matrix of user-product predictions (in practice, filtered by some threshold to maintain sparsity)? Via the ...

I have a very large and also sparse matrix (531K x 315K), the number of total cells is ~167 Billion. The non-zero values are only 1s. Total number of non-zero values are around 45K. Is there an eff...

I've been playing around with lightfm for quite some time and found it really useful to generate recommendations. However, there are two main questions that I would like to know. to evaluate the...

I have a very basic question. I'd like to do low-rank matrix factorization and I was looking at the Vowpal Wabbit documentation on the topic. My question is: Is there a difference between these tw...

I have a large (~25000 x 1000) matrix to factorize. I wrote my own code based on numpy, but it's inefficient and keeps throwing up a memory error. I've been trying to install and use nimfa (http:...

I'm trying a very simple optimization in Tensorflow- the problem of matrix factorization. Given a matrix V (m X n), decompose it into W (m X r) and H (r X n). I'm borrowing a gradient descent based...

I don't understand how to use the chol function in R to factor a positive semi-definite matrix. (Or I do, and there's a bug.) The documentation states: If pivot = TRUE, then the Choleski decompo...

I'm working on a recommender system for restaurants using an item-based collaborative filter in C# 6.0. I want to set up my algorithm to perform as well as possible, so I've done some research on d...

For my project, I need to solve for a matrix X given matrices Y and K. (XY=K) The elements of each matrix must be integers modulo a random 256-bit prime. My first attempt at solving this problem us...

In Apache Spark (Scala shell), I am attempting: val model = ALS.trainImplicit(training, rank, numIter) where training is a million-row file partitioned into 100 partitions, rank=20, and numIter=...

I am interested in the Cholesky decomposition of large sparse matrices. The problem I'm having is that the Cholesky factors are not necessarily sparse (just like the product of two sparse matrices ...

I am using a code currently given at http://www.quuxlabs.com/blog It gives good result. And I can clearly see what changes in the matrix has happened . Also I tried to use sklearn library at sklear...
