How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Independent Poisson counts have the stated NMF log-likelihood

Statement

For an admissible count matrix X=(xij) and a Poisson NMF parameter with rates λij=(WH)ij, the joint log-likelihood is

log⁡L(W,H)=∑i=1n∑j=1p[xijlog⁡λij−λij−log⁡(xij!)].

After dropping the data-only term −∑i,jlog⁡(xij!), the objective is

ℓ(W,H)=∑i=1n∑j=1p[xijlog⁡λij−λij].

Use 0log⁡0=0; if xij>0 and λij=0, the log-likelihood is −∞.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: An admissible observed count matrix, nonnegative factors W,H, and rates λij=(WH)ij.

[F1]

Poisson nonnegative matrix-factorization model: the cell counts are mutually independent; a positive-rate cell has Poisson mass e−λλm/m!, and a zero-rate cell is concentrated at zero.

Proof

1.1F1givenalgebra

When all rates are positive, [F1] and independence give joint likelihood L(W,H)=∏i,je−λijλijxij/xij!. Taking logarithms and using log⁡∏aij=∑log⁡aij gives the displayed formula.

2.1F1step 1.1algebra∎

If λij=0, [F1] gives cell likelihood 1 when xij=0 and 0 when xij>0; their log-likelihoods are respectively 0 and −∞, exactly the stated conventions. The factorial term depends only on the fixed data, so removing it leaves the same maximizing objective in W,H.
