AI Analysis

This work addresses matrix completion problems, such as in data analysis, by proposing an incremental improvement over existing regularization methods for low-rank recovery.

This paper tackles low-rank matrix recovery by introducing a column ℓ2,0-norm regularized factorization model to promote sparsity and low-rank solutions, and develops alternating majorization-minimization methods for computation. Numerical experiments show it achieves lower error and rank with less time compared to nuclear-norm and max-norm models.

This paper is concerned with the column $\ell_{2,0}$-regularized factorization model of low-rank matrix recovery problems and its computation. The column $\ell_{2,0}$-norm of factor matrices is introduced to promote column sparsity of factors and low-rank solutions. For this nonconvex discontinuous optimization problem, we develop an alternating majorization-minimization (AMM) method with extrapolation, and a hybrid AMM in which a majorized alternating proximal method is proposed to seek an initial factor pair with less nonzero columns and the AMM with extrapolation is then employed to minimize of a smooth nonconvex loss. We provide the global convergence analysis for the proposed AMM methods and apply them to the matrix completion problem with non-uniform sampling schemes. Numerical experiments are conducted with synthetic and real data examples, and comparison results with the nuclear-norm regularized factorization model and the max-norm regularized convex model show that the column $\ell_{2,0}$-regularized factorization model has an advantage in offering solutions of lower error and rank within less time.
