BMF: Block matrix approach to factorization of large scale data

2 Jan 2019  ·  Prasad G Bhavana, Vineet C Nair ·

Matrix Factorization (MF) on large scale matrices is computationally as well as memory intensive task. Alternative convergence techniques are needed when the size of the input matrix is higher than the available memory on a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Graphical Processing Unit (GPU). While alternating least squares (ALS) convergence on CPU could take forever, loading all the required matrices on to GPU memory may not be possible when the dimensions are significantly higher. Hence we introduce a novel technique that is based on considering the entire data into a block matrix and relies on factorization at a block level.
