Robust PCA

We provide MATLAB packages to solve the RPCA optimization problem by different methods. All of our code below is Copyright 2009 Perception and Decision Lab, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Microsoft Research Asia, Beijing. We also provide links to some publicly available packages to solve the RPCA problem. Please contact John Wright or Arvind Ganesh if you have any questions or comments. If you are looking for the code to our RASL and TILT algorithms, please refer to the applications section.

Note: If the code package contains a 'PROPACK' folder, please ensure that it is added in the MATLAB path before using the code. 

1. Augmented Lagrange Multiplier (ALM) Method [exact ALM - MATLAB zip] [inexact ALM - MATLAB zip]
   Usage -  The most basic form of the exact ALM function is [A, E] = exact_alm_rpca(D, λ), and that of the inexact ALM function is [A, E] = inexact_alm_rpca(D, λ), where D is a real matrix and λ is a positive real number. We solve the RPCA problem using the method of augmented Lagrange multipliers. The method converges Q-linearly to the optimal solution. The exact ALM algorithm is simple to implement, each iteration involves computing a partial SVD of a matrix the size of D, and converges to the true solution in a small number of iterations. The algorithm can be further speeded up by using a fast continuation technique, thereby yielding the inexact ALM algorithm.

3. Accelerated Proximal Gradient [full SVD version - MATLAB zip] [partial SVD version - MATLAB zip]
   Usage -  The most basic form of the full SVD version of the function is [A, E] = proximal_gradient_rpca(D, λ), where D is a real matrix and λ is a positive real number. We consider a slightly different version of the original RPCA problem by relaxing the equality constraint. The algorithm is simple to implement, each iteration involves computing the SVD of a matrix the size of D, and converges to the true solution in a small number of iterations. The algorithm can be further speeded up by computing partial SVDs at each iteration. The most basic form of the partial SVD version of the function is [A, E] = partial_proximal_gradient_rpca(D, λ), where D is a real matrix and λ is a positive real number.

5. Dual Method [MATLAB zip]
   Usage - The most basic form of the function is [A, E] = dual_rpca(D, λ), where D is a real matrix and λ is a positive real number. We solve the convex dual of the RPCA problem, and retrieve the low-rank and sparse error matrices from the dual optimal solution. The algorithm computes only a partial SVD in each iteration and hence, scales well with the size of the matrix D.

7. Singular Value Thresholding [MATLAB zip]
   Usage - The most basic form of the function is [A, E] = singular_value_rpca(D, λ), where D is a real matrix and λ is a positive real number. Here again, we solve a relaxation of the original RPCA problem, albeit different from the one solved by the Accelerated Proximal Gradient (APG) method. The algorithm is extremely simple to implement, and the computational complexity of each iteration is about the same as that of the APG method. However, the number of iterations to convergence is typically quite large.

Matrix Completion

We provide below links to publicly available code and references to solve the matrix completion problem faster than conventional algorithms.

2. Augmented Lagrange Multiplier (ALM) Method [inexact ALM - MATLAB zip]
   Usage -  The most basic form of the inexact ALM function is A = inexact_alm_mc(D), where D is the incomplete matrix defined in the MATLAB sparse matrix format and the output A is a structure with two components - A.U and A.V (the left and right singular vectors scaled respectively by the square root of the corresponding non-zero singular values). Please refer to the file test_alm_mc.m for details on defining D appropriately. The algorithm is identical to the inexact ALM method described above to solve the RPCA prblem, and enjoys the same convergence properties.

Comparison of Algorithms

We provide a simple comparison of the speed and accuracy of various RPCA algorithms. Each algorithm was tested on a rank-20 matrix of size 400 x 400 with 5% of its entries corrupted by large errors. The low-rank matrix A is generated as the product LR^T, where Land R are 400 x 20 matrices whose entries are i.i.d. according to the standard Gaussian distribution. The error matrix E is a sparse matrix whose support is chosen uniformly at random and whose non-zero entries are independent and uniformly distributed in the range [-50,50]. The value of λ was fixed as 0.05. The accuracy of the solution is indicated by the rank of the estimated low-rank matrix A and its relative error (in Frobenius norm) with respect to the true solution. All simulations were carried out on a Macbook Pro with a 2.8 GHz processor, two cores, and 4 GB memory.

Please note that the following tables represent typical performance, using default parameters, on random matrices drawn according to the distribution specified earlier. The performance could vary when dealing with matrices drawn from other distributions or with real data.
