Known weaknesses
Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.
- 01
Narrow focus limits versatility
As a specialized library for non-negative matrix factorization, NMF.jl may not offer functionality beyond its core purpose, limiting its utility in broader data science workflows.
- 02
Performance issues with large datasets
The package can exhibit slow performance when handling very large matrices due to the computational complexity of non-negative matrix factorization algorithms.
- 03
Small and less active community
NMF.jl has a relatively small user base, which can lead to limited support and slower development of new features or bug fixes.
What it does well
Efficient non-negative matrix factorization algorithms
Support for various initialization methods
Flexibility in choosing different solvers
