“…We conduct simulations to examine our RFA-LCF for data clustering and representation. The results of our RFA-LCF are compared with those of 12 related algorithms, i.e., NMF [4], PNMF [6], GNMF [7], DNMF [41], DSNMF [49], PAMGNMF [50], CF [5], LCCF [9], LCF [10], LGCF [48], GRLCF [26] and GCF [40], which are all closely related to our algorithm. Note that there are no parameters in NMF, PNMF and CF, and the hyperparameters of GNMF, DNMF, DSNMF, LCF, LCCF, GRLCF, LGCF, PAMGNMF and GCF are carefully chosen for fair comparison.…”
