Archetypical Analysis (AA)
AA formed by two simplex constraints Archetype: Xck formed by convex combination of the data points
Projection: sn gives the convex combination of archetypes forming each data point

The Original paper of Adler and Breiman considered 3 applications
Swiss army head shape Los Angeles Basin air polution 1976
Tokamak Fusion Data
Other Applications:Flame dynamics (Stone & Adler 1996)End member extraction of Galaxy Spectra (Chan et al, 2003)Data driven Benchmarking (Porzio et al. 2008)

Archetypical analysis extract the ”principal convex hull” (PCH) of the data cloud
Convex hull: Blue lines and light shaded region (dots indicate points in convex set)Dominant convex hull: green lines and gray shaded region (dots indicate archetypes)
While convex set can be identified in linear time O(N) (McCallum & Avis 1979)finding C and S is a non-convex (NP hard) problem.

(Dwyer, 1988)
NB: One might think that AA is highy driven by outliers, however, ”outliers” are only relevant if they reflect representative dynamics in the data!

Our (new) mathematical results:1: The AA/PCH model is in general unique!
2: The AA/PCH model can be efficiently initialized by the proposed FurthestSum algorithm
3: The AA/PCH model parameters can be efficiently optimized by normalization invariant projected gradient
Large scale Applications
See Theorem 1
The proposed FurthestSum algorithmguarantee extraction of points in the convex set, see Theorem 2
For details on derivation of updates and their computational complexity see section 2.3

Collaborative filtering: MovieLens
Medium size and large size Movie lens data (www.grouplens.org)Medium size: 1,000,209 ratings of 3,952 movies by 6,040 users Large size: 10,000,054 ratings of 10,677 movies given by 71,567
Extracts features representing distinct user types, each user represented as a given concentration fraction of the user types. AA appear to have less tendency to overfit.

Conclusion Archetypal Analysis is Unique in general (Theorem 1) Archetypal Analysis can be efficiently initialized by the proposed
FurhtestSum algorithm (Theorem 2) and optimized through normalization invariant projected gradient.
Archetypal Analysis naturally bridges clustering with low rank approximations Archetypal Analysis results in easy interpretable features that are closely
related to the actual data Archetypal Analysis useful for a large variety of machine learning problem
domains within unsupervised learning.(Computer Vision, NeuroImaging, TextMining, Collaborative Filtering)
Archetypal Analysis can be extended to kernel representations finding the principal convex hull in (a potentially infinite) Hilbert space (see section 2.4 of the paper).

Open problems and current research directions: What is the optimal number of components?
Cross-validation based on missing value prediction (see also collaborative filtering example in the paper)Bayesian generative models for AA/PCH that automatically penalize model complexity.
What if ’pure’ archetypes cannot be well represented by the data available?
