We describe a method of blind source separation for use, for example, in a listening or hearing aid. The method processes input data from multiple microphones each receiving a mixed signal from multiple audio sources, performing independent component analysis (ICA) on the data in the time-frequency domain based on an estimation of a spectrogram of each acoustic source. The spectrograms of the sources are determined from non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) models of each source, the NMF model representing time-frequency variations in the output of an acoustic source in the time-frequency domain. The NMF and ICA models are jointly optimized, thus automatically resolving an inter-frequency permutation ambiguity.

A method, apparatus and machine-readable medium analyze documents processed by non-negative matrix factorization in accordance with semantic topics. Users construct queries by assigning weights to semantic topics to order documents within a set. The query may be refined in accordance with the user's evaluation of the efficacy of the query. Any document that does not result in data indicative of significant correlation with at least one semantic topic is flagged so that a user may make a manual review. The collection of semantic topics may be continually or periodically updated in response to new documents. Additionally, the collection may also be “downdated” to drop semantic factors no longer appearing in new documents received after an initial set has been analyzed. Different sets of semantic topics may be generated and each document evaluated using each set. Reports may be prepared showing results for a body of documents for each of a plurality of sets of semantic topics.

A stream of ordered information, such as, for example, audio, video and/or text data, can be windowed and parameterized. A similarity between the parameterized and windowed stream of ordered information can be determined, and a probabilistic decomposition or probabilistic matrix factorization, such as non-negative matrix factorization, can be applied to the similarity matrix. The component matrices resulting from the decomposition indicate major components or segments of the ordered information. Excerpts can then be extracted from the stream of ordered information based on the component matrices to generate a summary of the stream of ordered information.

A color determination method utilizes color matching functions to approximate the imaging system's sensitivity characteristics. The illuminant conditions are modeled according to known illuminant intensity versus wavelength functions. Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is applied to a set of known reflectance data to decompose the known reflectance data set into a defined number of NMF basis vectors. In general, for an N-color based imaging system, N NMF basis functions are determined. Since basis functions provided by NMF are non-negative, the determined N NMF basis functions are related to actual physical colors. The NMF basis vectors are integrated with the illuminate conditions and color matching function(s) that approximate the imaging system's sensitivity to generate XYZ color values. These are converted to RGB values which are used to determine the optimal N colors for the N-color based imaging system.

An automated content-based image retrieval method, a system and a computer program product for the classification of breast density from mammographic imagery. Raw digital mammogram images taken of patients are initially pre-processed to remove noise and enhance contrast, then subjected to pectoral muscle segmentation to produce region of interest (ROI) images. The ROI images are then decomposed using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), where a non-negative sparsity constraint and reconstruction quality measures are imposed on the extracted and retained first few NMF factors. Based on the retained NMF factors, kernel matrix-based support vector machines classify the mammogram images binomially or multinomially to breast density categories. Methods of assessing and comparing the NMF-based breast classification method to principal component analysis or PCA-based methods are also described, and the NMF-based method is found to achieve higher classification accuracy and better handling of invariance in the digital mammogram images because of its parts-based factorization.
