non-negative matrix factorization

The algorithm of NMF is so simple and elegant (just three or four lines in Matlab). Yaoliang Yu said the code can be downloaded :http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/linkexchange/links/1041-matlab-code-nmf( First submitted by MATLAB Central Team on 13 Jun 2005 )
There is another version of the matlab code of NMF: http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/nmf/index.html
