In this paper, we study the problem of nonnegative graph
embedding, originally investigated in [14] for reaping the
benefits from both nonnegative data factorization and the
specific purpose characterized by the intrinsic and penalty
graphs [13]. Our contributions are two-fold. On the one
hand, we present a multiplicative iterative procedure for
nonnegative graph embedding, which significantly reduces
the computational cost compared with the iterative procedure
in [14] involving the matrix inverse calculation of
an M-matrix. On the other hand, the nonnegative graph
embedding framework is expressed in a more general way
by encoding each datum as a tensor of arbitrary order,
which brings a group of byproducts, e.g., nonnegative discriminative
tensor factorization algorithm, with admissible
time and memory cost. Extensive experiments compared
with the state-of-the-art algorithms on nonnegative
data factorization, graph embedding, and tensor representation
demonstrate the ...
