Oracle 10g Non-Negative Matrix Factorization

There are two problems for which feature extractions are useful:

  • Extract features from actual text. - Oracle Text is designed to solve this kind of problem.
     

  • Extract semantic features or higher-level features from the basic features uncovered when features are extracted from actual text.

Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a feature extraction algorithm introduced in Oracle 10g that is used to extract semantic features.  NMF decomposes the data as a product of two matrices having only non-negative elements.  This results in reduced representation of the original data. 

In the reduced data set, each feature is a linear combination of the original attribute set.  The NMF has low computational cost and the ability to deal with both dense and sparse data sets.  The feature extraction can be used in supporting the NMF model in Oracle Data Mining and text mining.
