Abstract-In this paper, we address the Binary Matrix Factorization (BMF) problem which is the restriction of the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) to the binary matrix case. A necessary and sufficient condition for the identifiability for the BFM model is given. We propose to approach the BMF problem by the NMF problem using a nonlinear function which guarantees the binarity of the reconstructed data. Two new algorithms are introduced and compared in simulations with the state of art BMF algorithms.
