Robust-NMF

Python PyTorch (GPU) and/or NumPy (CPU)-based implementation of Févotte and Dobigeon's robust-NMF algorithm appearing in "Nonlinear hyperspectral unmixing with robust nonnegative matrix factorization." appearing in the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2015. arXiv pre-print here.

Due to the simple multiplicative and mostly element-wise updates, the majority of operations are significantly faster on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and are thus implemented in PyTorch 1.0. If a GPU is not available, a NumPy backend is provided as well.

The original MATLAB implementation is available at the authors websites here and here.

Features

  1. Implements the low-rank and sparse non-negative matrix factorization proposed in the above paper. Through a suitable choice of the parameter beta, several assumptions on noise can be made. For example, beta = 2 corresponds to Gaussian noise, beta = 1 corresponds to Poisson noise and values in between interpolate between assumptions. Further, the choice of the L-2,1 norm enforces structured group sparsity on the outliers.

  2. For a matrix of size (26x1447680), the PyTorch fp32 implementation is 58-64X faster on a GPU than the original MATLAB fp64 CPU implementation. At fp64, it is 32-35X faster than MATLAB on a desktop CPU. (more details below)

  3. The code provides several initialization strategies, including:

  4. Makes the simplex (non-negative and sum-to-one) constraint on coefficients optional.

Installation and dependencies

The easiest method of installing the relevant dependencies is if you use Anaconda with the provided environment.yml file. If so, simply clone or download this repository, navigate to the folder, open a terminal and type:

conda env create -f environment.yml

That will create a conda virtual environment with all required dependencies. Otherwise, the major dependencies are:

  • pytorch 1.0
  • numpy
  • scikit-learn

If you're just using the NumPy version, you only need the last two. NOTE: This was developed in PyTorch 1.0 but should be fine with 0.4 as well.

Interface

To switch between NumPy and PyTorch for computations is just a simple change in importing.

For NumPy:

from backends.numpy_functions import *

For PyTorch:

from backends.torch_functions import *
torch.set_default_tensor_type(torch.cuda.DoubleTensor)

# Or if you want fp32 computation:
# torch.set_default_tensor_type(torch.cuda.FloatTensor)

A couple of minimal working examples with random data are provided in the ./example_notebooks/ folder.

Speed comparison details

The MATLAB fp64 implementation was tested on an Intel i7-5930K overclocked to 4.4 GHz. The PyTorch fp64 and fp32 implementations were performed on a stock NVIDIA Tesla P100. The matrix was of size (26,1447680) and the parameters for the algorithm were a rank of 3, beta = 1.5, maximum iterations = 100 and lambda = 1.

  • Without a simplex constraint: At fp64, MATLAB: 398.71 seconds; PyTorch: 11.25 seconds. At fp32, PyTorch brings this down to 6.19 seconds.
  • With a simplex constraint: At fp64, MATLAB: 414.41 seconds; PyTorch: 12.77 seconds. At fp32, PyTorch brings this down to 7.11 seconds.

The Tesla P100 is specifically meant for scientific workloads, so fp64 performance is only half of fp32 in terms of TFLOPs. However, appreciable speedups can be achieved even with an entry-level gaming GPU from two generations ago with low fp64 performance. With an NVIDIA GTX 970, at fp32 there is a 29-34X speedup over MATLAB on the CPU (depending on whether you use the simplex constraint or not). At fp64, it's less significant with a 4-4.7X speedup over the CPU.

NOTE 1: since R2018a (or R2017b, not sure) which was used here, MATLAB does block processing on element-wise operations automatically, leading to significant improvements in speed for rNMF. This makes the original MATLAB implementation faster than the NumPy implementation.

NOTE 2: MATLAB can use GPUs as well via the gpuArray() data type, but only at fp32, which may be suboptimal for some optimization problems.
