Supervised nonnegative matrix factorization with Dual-Itakura-Saito and Kullback-Leibler divergences for music transcription
Hideaki Kagami, Masahiro Yukawa · 2016
In this paper, we present a convex-analytic approach to supervised nonnegative matrix factorization (SNMF) based on the Dual-Itakura-Saito (Dual-IS) and Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergences for music transcription. The Dual-IS and KL divergences define convex fidelity functions, whereas the IS divergence defines a nonconvex one. The SNMF problem is formulated as minimizing the divergence-based fidelity function penalized by the ℓ1and row-block ℓ1norms subject to the nonnegativity constraint. Simulation results show that (i) the use of the Dual-IS and KL divergences yields better performance than the squared Euclidean distance and that (ii) the use of the Dual-IS divergence prevents from false alarms efficiently.
