Researchers have developed EventNMF, a novel continuous-time non-negative matrix factorization model designed to analyze event data directly. Unlike previous methods that require binning or smoothing, EventNMF operates on raw event times, preserving fine-grained temporal features and entity-level heterogeneities. The model uses a Poisson process framework with a non-negative B-spline basis to uncover shared temporal templates across entities, offering a mathematically sound, efficient, and easy-to-implement solution for applications in fields like neuroscience and social networks.
