Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Various methods for missing value estimation of matrix data have been proposed based on low-rank approximation of matrix data. A recent example is the maximum margin matrix factorization (MMMF) (Srebro and Rennie, 2005) proposed for predicting discrete values such as binary and ordinal rating. The MMMF is characterized with a penalty term based on a hinge error function and a regularization term based on a trace norm. An important key in matrix factorization is to determine hyper-parameters, such as approximated rank and regularization factor, which affect much to generalization performances. But, when there are multiple hyper-parameters to be determined, grid search with cross-validation takes large computational cost. In this report, we consider a probabilistic approach to determine the hyper-parameters based on the evidence criterion and propose a probabilistic MMMF (PMMMF) model that includes a prior of factor matrix with automatic relevance determination (ARD) hyper-parameter. This approach enables us to automatically determine both the regularization factor and rank that improve the generalization performance. We compare the proposed and original methods and show a better result on a real collaborative filtering problem.
