Non-negative tensor factorization(NTF)is a technique used to decompose a non-negative tensor into the sum of some non-negative rank-one tensors.It is an extension of non-negative matrix factorization(NMF)to higher-order tensors.We introduced the non-negative matrix factorization based on Kullback-Leibler(KL)di-vergence and Bregman distance,and provided the NTF algorithm based on KL divergence and Bregman distance.Finally,NMF and NTF were used for the feature extraction in the face recognition.The results show that NTF outperforms other methods.
