Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) As a fast computational method for Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF), the Hierarchical Alternating Least Squares (HALS) algorithm is widely known. Recently, an algorithm for multiple agents communicating with each other to execute the HALS algorithm in a distributed manner was proposed. This algorithm enables us to perform NMF on large matrices that cannot be handled by a single agent. However, the average consensus algorithm used there requires each agent to store the entire history of the values of its variables until the complete average consensus is reached. This increases the memory usage and computational cost of each agent. In order to solve this problem, the authors proposed a distributed HALS algorithm using a simpler average consensus algorithm in which each agent does not have to store the entire history of the values. In this report, we prove that the proposed algorithm has the Zangwill's global convergence property if the number of iterations of the average consensus algorithm is properly set.
