A new research paper published on arXiv details the equivalences and identifiability of several compositional models used across machine learning, social science, and geology. The paper, titled "Nonnegative matrix factorizations and related compositional models: Equivalence, identifiability, and an application on the grain-size analysis of sediments," demonstrates that models such as Latent Class Analysis, End-Member Analysis, and Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis are fundamentally similar or equivalent to Nonnegative Matrix Factorization. The research provides theorems proving that the uniqueness of solutions across these models is directly linked, and it illustrates the application of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization using a dataset for sedimentary grain-size analysis.

    Nonnegative matrix factorizations and related compositional models: Equivalence, identifiability, and an application on the grain-size analysis of sediments

    arXiv:2512.22282v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Across fields such as machine learning, social science, and geology, considerable attention has been given to models that factorize a nonnegative matrix into the product of two or three matrices, subject to nonnegative or row-su…
