title = "Blind matrix decomposition via genetic optimization of sparseness and nonnegativity constraints",
abstract = "Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has proven to be a useful tool for the analysis of nonnegative multivariate data. However, it is known not to lead to unique results when applied to nonnegative Blind Source Separation (BSS) problems. In this paper we present first results of an extension to the NMF algorithm which solves the BSS problem when the underlying sources are sufficiently sparse. As the proposed target function is discontinuous and possesses many local minima, we use a genetic algorithm for its minimization. Application to a microarray data set will be considered also.",
