Introduction • This paper focuses on the large scale matrix factorization problem, including • Dictionary learning for sparse coding • Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) • Sparse principal component analysis (SPCA) • Contributions of this paper: • An iterative online algorithm is proposed for large scale matrix factorization • This algorithm is proved to converge almost surely to a stationary point of the objective function • This algorithm is shown to be much faster than previous methods in the experiment.
Problem Statement • Classical dictionary learning problem Given a finite training set , the objective is to optimize the following function where • Online Learning This algorithm process one sample (or a mini-batch) at a time and sequentially minimize the following function:
Optimizing the Algorithm • Handling fixed-sized data sets • Scaling the “past” data • Mini-batch extension
Proof of Convergence • Assumptions: • Main results
Extensions to Matrix Factorization • Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) • Non-negative sparse coding (NNSC) • Sparse principal component analysis (SPCA)
Data for Experiment • 1.25 million patches from Pascal VOC’06 image database
Online VS. Batch • Training data size: 1 million • OL1: • OL2: • OL3:
Comparison with NMF and NNSC • NMF • NNSC
Inpainting Results • Image size: 12-Megapixel • Dictionary with 256 elements • Training data: 7 million 12 by 12 color patches
Conclusion • A new online algorithm for learning dictionaries adapted to sparse coding tasks, and proven its convergence. • Experiments demonstrate that this algorithm is significantly faster than existing batch methods. • This algorithm can be extended to other matrix factorization problems such as non-negative matrix factorization and sparse principal component analysis.
