Non-Negative Matrix Factorization for Event Data

arXiv:2606.06205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous-time event data, in which entities emit instantaneous events over time, arises naturally across many domains such as neuroscience, seismology, and social networks. Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a natural tool to uncover interpretable structure in such data, but it has so far only been applied after binning or smoothing the entity-level counting measures. This preprocessing step comes with the risk of erasing entity-level heterogeneities and fine-grained temporal features. In this paper, we introduce EventNMF, a continuous…
