Abstract: Probabilistic matrix decomposition and its variants have been extensively studied for decades and comprehensively applied onto diverse fields. Most of them assume the underlying noise follows a certain independent identical Gaussian distribution. However, the noises in reality are usually heterogeneous, complicated and structured. To this end, we develop novel probabilistic matrix decomposition models for complex noise modeling. We first propose a Bayesian matrix decomposition framework to model the heterogeneous noises of multi-view data and distributed data respectively. We further propose a powerful and intuitive PCA method (MN-PCA) through modeling the graphical noise by the matrix normal distribution, which enables us to explore the structure of noise in both the feature space and the sample space. MN-PCA obtains a low-rank representation of data and the structure of noise simultaneously. And it can be explained as approximating data over the generalized Mahalanobis distance. We develop two algorithms to solve this model: one maximizes the regularized likelihood, the other exploits the Wasserstein distance, which is more robust. Extensive experiments on various data demonstrate their effectiveness.
