Factorization of Binary Matrices: Rank Relations, Uniqueness and Model Selection of Boolean Decomposition

Abstract: The application of binary matrices are numerous. Representing a matrix as a mixture of a small collection of latent vectors via low-rank factorization is often seen as an advantageous method to interpret and analyze data. In this work, we examine the minimal rank factorizations of binary matrices using standard arithmetic (real and nonnegative) and logical operations (Boolean and Z2). We examine all the relationships between the different ranks, and discuss when the factorizations are unique. In particular, we… Show more

“…The NMF algorithm searches for a best nonnegative rank approximation to X = W H. With BANMF being algorithmically similar to NMF, we are naturally interested in the performance when there is a gap between the Boolean rank and the nonnegative rank. Theoretically, it is known that the nonnegative rank is greater than or equal to the Boolean rank [2]. To empirically investigate the effect of a gap between the ranks, we generate a suite of Boolean matrices where a gap between rank + (X) and rank B (X) exists.…”

“…The Boolean rank of X is the smallest k for which such an exact representation, X = AB, exists. Interestingly, in contrast to the non-negative rank, the Boolean rank can be not only bigger or equal, but also much smaller than the logarithm of the real rank (Monson et al, 1995;DeSantis et al, 2020). Hence, low-rank factorization for Boolean matrices is of particular interest.…”
