In this work, we relate TL-NMF to the classical matrix joint-diagonalization (JD) problem. We show that, when the number of data realizations is sufficiently large, TL-NMF can be replaced by a two-step approach -- termed as JD+NMF -- that estimates the transform through JD, prior to NMF computation. In contrast, we found that when the number of data realizations is limited, not only is JD+NMF no longer equivalent to TL-NMF, but the inherent low-rank constraint of TL-NMF turns out to be an essential ingredient to learn meaningful transforms for NMF.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.05664v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.05664v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"on-the-relationships-between-transform","repo_url":"https://github.com/sixin-zh/tlnmf-tsp","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
