Additive Non-negative Matrix Factorization for Missing Data

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has previously been shown to be a useful decomposition for multivariate data. We interpret the factorization in a new way and use it to generate missing attributes from test data. We provide a joint optimization scheme for the missing attributes as well as the NMF factors. We prove the monotonic convergence of our algorithms. We present classification results for cases with missing attributes.
