Abstract

Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) can be used to approximate a large nonnegative matrix as a product of two smaller nonnegative matrices. This paper shows in detail how an NMF algorithm based on Newton iteration can be derived utilizing the general Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions for first-order optimality. This algorithm is suited for parallel execution on shared-memory systems. It was implemented and tested, delivering satisfactory speedup results.
