Obtaining Profiles Based on Localized Non-negative Matrix Factorization

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a method to get parts-based features of information and form the typical profiles. But the basis vectors NMF gets are not orthogonal so that parts-based features of information are usually redundancy. In this paper, we propose two different approaches based on localized non-negative matrix factorization (LNMF) to obtain the typical user session profiles and typical semantic profiles of junk mails. The LNMF get basis vectors as orthogonal as possible so that it can get accurate profiles. The experiments show that the approach based on LNMF can obtain better profiles than the approach based on NMF.
