    Abstract

    This paper addresses the problem of estimating the latent dimensionality in
    nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). The estimation is done via automatic
    relevance determination (ARD). Uncovering the model order is important as it is
    necessary to strike the right balance between data fidelity and overfitting. We
    propose a Bayesian model for NMF and two families of algorithms known as l1-ARD
    and l2-ARD, each assuming different priors on the basis elements and the
    activation coefficients.

    Abstract

    Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is now a common tool for audio source
    separation. When learning NMF on large audio databases, one major drawback is
    that the complexity in time is O(FKN) when updating the dictionary (where (F;N)
    is the dimension of the input power spectrograms, and K the number of basis
    spectra), thus forbidding its application on signals longer than an hour. We
    provide an online algorithm with a complexity of O(FK) in time and memory for
    updates in the dictionary.
