Feature selection has become the focus of research areas of applications with high dimensional data. Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a good method for dimensionality reduction but it cant select the optimal feature subset for its a feature extraction method. In this paper, a two-step strategy method based on improved NMF is proposed.The first step is to get the basis of each catagory in the dataset by NMF. Added constrains can guarantee these basises are sparse and mostly distinguish from each other which can contribute to classfication. An auxiliary function is used to prove the algorithm convergent.The classic ReliefF algorithm is used to weight each feature by all the basis vectors and choose the optimal feature subset in the second step.The experimental results revealed that the proposed method can select a representive and relevant feature subset which is effective in improving the performance of the classifier.

Content-based image retrieval has recently become an important research topic and has been widely used for managing images from repertories. In this article, we address an efficient technique, called MNGS, which integrates multiview constrained nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and Gaussian mixture model- (GMM-) based spectral clustering for image retrieval. In the proposed methodology, the multiview NMF scheme provides competitive sparse representations of underlying images through decomposition of a similarity-preserving matrix that is formed by fusing multiple features from different visual aspects. In particular, the proposed method merges manifold constraints into the standard NMF objective function to impose an orthogonality constraint on the basis matrix and satisfy the structure preservation requirement of the coefficient matrix. To manipulate the clustering method on sparse representations, this paper has developed a GMM-based spectral clustering method in which the Gaussian components are regrouped in spectral space, which significantly improves the retrieval effectiveness. In this way, image retrieval of the whole database translates to a nearest-neighbour search in the cluster containing the query image. Simultaneously, this study investigates the proof of convergence of the objective function and the analysis of the computational complexity. Experimental results on three standard image datasets reveal the advantages that can be achieved with the proposed retrieval scheme.

In this paper, we propose a Locality Preserving Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (LPNMF) method to discover the manifold structure embedded in high-dimensional face space that is applied for face recognition. It is done by incorporating locality preserving constraints inside the cost function of NMF, then a new decomposition of a face with locality preserving can be obtained. As a result, the proposed LPNMF method shares some properties with the Locality Preserving Projection (LPP) such that it can effectively discover the manifold structure embedded in a high-dimensional face space. Experimental results show that LPNMF provides a better representation and achieves higher recognition rates in face recognition.
