The core problem involves estimating a high-quality similarity matrix (S) from an initial incomplete matrix (S⁰) by minimizing the Frobenius norm difference (||S – S⁰||F) while enforcing inherent symmetric and Positive Semi-Definiteness (PSD) properties. This ensures the calibrated matrix accurately reflects true data relationships, crucial for robust similarity search.
Our novel approach formulates the similarity matrix calibration as a convex optimization problem. It iteratively refines the initial matrix, ensuring compliance with the PSD constraint. This process is theoretically proven to converge to a high-quality approximation, outperforming traditional imputation and matrix completion methods by directly optimizing for similarity.
The proposed algorithm achieves high efficiency by simplifying the optimization from matrices to vectors, leveraging the SVD operation once for all search candidates. This significantly reduces computational cost and makes the method scalable for large-scale datasets, facilitating rapid and accurate similarity search even with high missing data ratios.
